Alfred Wegener's Evidences
Plate tectonics
What is Earth's outermost layer, or lithosphere—made up of the crust and upper mantle—are broken into large rocky plates.
The force that causes the plates to move. (The answer has two words that start with C.)
What is convection currents.
A plate boundary where two plates move toward or collide with each other.
The direction the two divergent plates move.
What is away from each other or in opposite directions creating a bigger distance between the two plates.
These type of disasters can happen because of severe weather. Disasters like Tornados, wildfires and Hurricanes. What are these disasters called?
What is a natural disaster.
Earth's giant supercontinent
What is Pangea?
When two plates go toward each other.
What is a Convergent Bouandry.
When you have a Oceanic Crust and an Oceanic Crust collide this what will form. Or it is known by this name.
What is Volcanos and hotspots
When the plates separate and new magma comes out in the ocean floor, this is what is created.
What is mid-ocean ridges?
These type of disasters form because of a natural geological change. Like Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and landslides.
What is a geological disaster?
The continents fit together like a puzzle
What is the 1st evidence of Plate tectonics
When two plates go away from each other.
What is a Divergent boundary.
When you have a Oceanic Crust and a Continental Crust collide this what will form.
What is mountains and Volcanos.
When a divergent bounday forms over land it creates this type of valley.
What is a Tsunami?
2nd Evidence of Plate tectonics
What is Similar rock structures and land features are found on different continents.
When two plates slide pass each other.
What is a Transform boundary.
When you have a Continental Crust and a Continental Crust collide this what will form
What is mountains.
This is the location most divergent boundaries are found and what does it to to the ground in those locations?
What is the oceans and sea floor spreading.
What is Geologic stability, which is the ability of a land area such as rock mass to maintain its structure.
3rd Evidence of Plate tectonics
What is Common fossils on continents that are separated by oceans.
Transform boundaries cause this to happen
What is an Earthquake?
When you have two plates collide. One plate goes under the other plate. The area going under the other plate has a name.
What is a subduction zone.
At divergent boundaries you can find seafloor spreading, new sea floor is created, mid-ocean ridges form and one other thing can be found here?
What is deep sea trenches.
When an Earthquake happens, these are some geological disasters that may occur?
Fires, Volcanic eruptions, landslides, Tsunamis, breaking of the Earth's surface, ground shaking, liquefaction, and avalanches and fires (last two are natural disasters).
