What is algae considered in the food chain

Producers

200

What are the different tectonic boundaries 

Divergent, Convergent, Transform. 


200

Approximately how many centimetres can tectonic plates move each year?

2-15 cm

200

How do earthquakes provide evidence that tectonic plates are moving?

Earthquakes occur when stress builds up and rocks suddenly slip along faults as tectonic plates interact.

What does convergent collisons cause???

New mountain ranges, and when magma is exposed, volcanoes are formed. 

300

What happens to hot magma when it cools and becomes denser?

It sinks

300

Name 2 natural different evidences of tectonic movement?

D'angelo

300

What are the 3 different types of potential energy

Gravitational, Elastic, chemical, Nuclear, Electrical

How can they slide above the upper part of the mantle?? 

Due to their unique compostion, the lightweight material lets it float

400

Why do some tectonic plates move faster then others 

Depends on the different forces acting on them. 

400

How do scientists use satellite images to detect tectonic plate movement?

They compare images and measurements taken over time to see how Earth's surface has shifted.

400

What is Mr nguyen's thrid and final first name

dimitri

What is accuracy, validity and reliablity 

Accuracy: How close a result is to the true data

Validity: How well an experiment measures the topic

Reliability: How consistent is your data


500

What is the super continebt name 

pangea

500

How does convection currents actually move the plates?

Magma causes mantle material to rise. As it cools, it becomes denser and sinks, creating currents that help move the plates.

500

how much money does it take to supervise over tectonic movement?

$90 million to $150 million annually
