Who is Alfred Wegener
How is the Earth's structure studied by Scientists?
What is Seismic waves
Law vs. Theory
Law- Punishable
Theory- Requires research and observation
What is Convection Current?
What is when hot dense air rises causing cool denser air to fall.
Which direction does Convergent boundaries move?
What is Together
What is Seafloor Spreading?
What is occurs along mid-oceanic ridges resulting in the formation of new crust.
