Topographic maps
What is the name of the lines on a topographic map?
Contour lines
What is one evidence that supports plate tectonic theory?
1. Alternating magnetic alignment in minerals at divergent boundaries (or something close to this) :)
2. Fossils of plants and animals found continents apart.
3. Similar rock layers and mineral deposits on different continents with an ocean between them.
4. The further from mid ocean ridges, the older the plate becomes.
(Any or all, bonus points for each extra correct answer)
On which type of plate boundary are volcanoes most likely formed?
Convergent Boundary
----><----
What type of boundary is this?
-----><----
Convergent Boundary

The "relief" is another way of saying the steepness of a hill or cliff, how can you tell where the steepest area is on a topographic map?
The contour lines are closer the steeper the relief.
Double points!!
What is another name for Plate Tectonic Theory?
Continental drift

The key on a topographic map may tell you the contour interval. What is a contour interval?
The distance represented from one contour line to another contour line.
What drives plate tectonic movement?
Convection currents in Earth's mantle.

What did the fish say when it ran into a wall?
"Dam."

The topmost point of a hill is 80 meters, the parking area is located at 20 meters. What is the difference in elevation between the two points?
60 meters.
What crustal feature is found at the site of seafloor spreading in a divergent boundary?
Mid-ocean ridges.
On which type of plate boundary are subduction zones found?
Convergent Boundary

"Jaguar you?"
Where is the older crustal plate located in relation to the mid-ocean ridge? Closer to the site of seafloor spreading or further away from it?
Further away from it. The closer to the boundary the younger the crustal plate will be.
Double points!!
On which type of plate boundary are folded mountains (mountain ranges)?
Convergent Boundary
----><----
Is continental crust or oceanic crust more dense?
Oceanic crust is more dense.
