100
The continent we live on
What is North America?
100
This is the theory that the continents were moving
What is Continental Drift?
100
This is the theory that the tectonic plates move along the mantle
What is Plate Tectonics?
100
This is the number of types of plate boundaries
What is 3?
100
These two large landforms are formed because of plate tectonics
What are mountains and volcanoes?
200
This continent which is also very cold
What is Antarctica?
200
The continents looked like the fit together like this
What are puzzle pieces?
200
True or False: Plate tectonics cause earthquakes, mountains, and volcanoes.
What is true?
200
At this plate boundary, the plates move towards each other and can form mountains
What is a convergent boundary?
200
Volcanoes, mountains, and earthquakes occur at these
What are boundaries?
300
This continent is located south of North America
What is South America?
300
This is the name of the supercontinent where all of the continents we know today were all in one giant piece
What is Pangea?
300
These are the pieces of the crust that are in constant motion
What are plates?
300
At this plate boundary, the plates move away from one another and volcanoes can form
What is a divergent boundary?
300
These happen at transform boundaries
What are earthquakes?
400
This continent that is across the Atlantic Ocean from North America
What is Africa?
400
These remains of once living things were found on other continents which helped people believe that the continents were once together
What are fossils?
400
This layer of the Earth causes the plates to move
What is the mantle?
400
At this plate boundary, the plates slide next to one another and causes earthquakes
What is a transform boundary?
400
These form at convergent boundaries
What are mountains?
500
This continent's name is also the name of a country
What is Australia?
500
This person was the first to come up with the theory that Earth's continents move
Who is Alfred Wegener?
500
This causes the plates to move
What is heat from the core or convection currents?
500
These are the names of ALL plate boundaries
What are convergent, divergent, and transform?
500
These form at divergent boundaries
What are volcanoes?
