If converge means to move together what does diverge mean?
to move apart.
100
What way does a convergent boundary move?
moving together.
100
What can Plate Tectonics explain?
the movements and features of Earth Surface in the past and present.
100
What was the big Supercontinent Called?
Pangea
100
What is not formed unlike the other two boundaries.
magma.
200
How does a divergent plate move.
Apart
200
What does coverge mean?
to collide or move together.
200
What are the three different types of plate boundaries?
Convergent Boundary, Divergent Boundary, and a Transform Plate Boundary.
200
Why did the continents move???
Tectonic plates
200
Where is a common place to find a transform plate boundary?
the San Andreas Fault.
300
What rises up from the mantle between the rift?
magma and molten
300
What destroys the crust?
a Convergent Boundary
300
What do plate Tectonics have?
Plate boundaries
300
What does Pangea mean?
Entire Earth
300
What does a transform plate boundary do??
It doesn't create or destroy.
400
What does magma from the mantle become?
Magma from the mantle becomes basalt, a dark, dense rock that underlies the ocean floor.
400
At a convergent boundary what is created and what is destroyed?
Continental crust made of granite is created and Oceanic crust is destroyed.
400
what can plate Tectonics move???
large landmasses and ocean floors.
400
What were Alfred Wegener's 4 pieces of Evidence?
Continental fit, Glacial Evidence, Geological Evidence, and Fossil Evidence
400
What is cracked and broken at transform plate boundaries.
crust
500
Where are divergent boundaries usually found?
typically found in the oceanic lithosphere by the rifts of the oceanic ridge system, including the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the East Pacific Rise, and in the continental lithosphere by rift valleys such as the famous East African Great Rift Valley. Divergent boundaries can create massive fault zones in the oceanic ridge system.
500
In my powerpoint where can a convergent Boundary be located?
to the west of south america.
500
What is the definition of plate Tectonics?
a theory explaining the structure of the earth's crust and many associated phenomena as resulting from the interaction of rigid lithospheric plates that move slowly over the underlying mantle.
500
Who proposed the theory of continental drift???
Alfred Wegener

What happens when plates slide past each other.
plates curving
