What is Pangaea?
The plates sit on top of this
What is Mantle?
Continental and Continental Converging
How are Mountains formed?
This type of plate movement caused there to be volcanic mountains along the west coast of South America
What is Continental and Oceanic Convergent/Subduction?
a cube sinks in alcohol and water but floats in cornsyrup, what do you know about the density of the cube?
The cube is less dense than corn syrup but more dense than alcohol and water.

What is Fossil evidence?
The difference between the two different types of crust
What is density?
Fault lines and earthquakes
What are two features of transform boundaries?
