Get My Drift?
Plates that move are apart.
What is a divergent boundary?
Three types of heat transfer.
What is radiation, convection, and conduction?
A feature that this the longest chain of mountains in the world.
What is the mid-ocean ridge?
The Himalayas are made when two continental plates do this?
What is collide or converge?
Name one land mass that showed glacial scarring that helped Wegner prove his theory.
India, South America, Africa, Antarctic and Australia
Boundary where plates have slipped past each other.
What is a transform boundary?
The type of heat transfer where you feel the heat of the sun on your face.
What is radiation?
The process that adds more crust to the ocean floor.
What is sea-floor spreading?
Where can we find the most abundant amount of asteroids in our solar system?
Between Mars and Jupitar
Wegener inferred that this reptile could not have swum great distances across salt water, thus supporting the theory of continental drift.
What is the Mesosaurus?
At a divergent boundary, two oceanic plates make this.
What is two oceanic plates diverge to make the mid-ocean ridge
The measure of how much mass there is per volume?
What is density?
What do we call the boundary where subduction happens.
Convergent boundary
The orbital path that takes a full year to go around the sun.
What is a revolution?
The reason why many scientists rejected Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift.
What is Wegener could not explain the force that pushes or pulls the continents?
At a convergent boundary, when an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide, this process happens.
What is subduction?
Finish this statement. The farther away the rock is from the mid-ocean ridge...
What is the older the rock samples.?
What two factors govern how gravity works?
What is mass and distance
Name a types of land features that are evidence of continental drift.
What is the mountain ranges of Africa and South America lined up or the Caledonian mountains in Europe and Appalachian mountain of North America matched up?
How does a convection current work?
heat rises and cold sinks in a fluid or gas.
This scientist came up with the theory of sea-floor spreading.
Who is Harry Hess
What is the Oort cloud made of?
