Alfred Wegener came up with this theory.

What is Continental Drift?

100

Two plates moving towards each other are called this.

What is convergent?

100

The plates glide on this layer.

What is the asthenosphere?

100

The plates (and continents) move this much per year.

What is about an inch?

100

This is the name of the volcanoes located in a circle shape on the Earth.

What is the Ring of Fire?

200

This is the name of the super continent that Wegener discovered.

What is Pangaea?

200

Earthquakes can be caused by this type of boundary.

What is transform?

200

This is the most dense layer of the Earth.

What is the inner core?

200

This was the name of the supercontinent that Wegener discovered.

What is Pangaea?

200

A volcano that will never erupt again is called this.

What is extinct?

300

Alfred Wegener was this type of scientist.

What is a meteorologist?

300

Two plates moving away from each other is this type of boundary.

What is divergent?

300

The plates are part of this layer.

What is the crust?

300

True or False: there could be another supercontinent.

What is true?

300

A volcano that has not erupted in a long time and may or may not erupt again is called this.

What is dormant?

400

True or False: Wegener formed other theories.

What is False?

400

Two plates that slide past each other are called this.

What is transform?

400

The asthenosphere is part of this layer.

What is the mantle?

400

Finding the remains of animals on different continents is this type of evidence for continental drift.

What is fossil evidence?

400

A volcano that is very likely to erupt again is called this.

What is active?

500

This is the year that Wegener discovered continental drfit.

What is 1915?

500

The plates moves because of this.

What are convection currents in the asthenosphere?

500

These are the two types of plates.

What are oceanic and continental?

500

Finding basalt on different continents is this kind of evidence for continental drift.

What is volcanic evidence?

500

A volcano can be formed at this type of plate boundary.

What is convergent?
