Wegener's first clue that the continents had drifted to their current positioins
What is the shapes of the continents?
100
90% of the volcanoes and earthquakes are in this "area" of the world
What is the Ring of Fire?
100
Earthquake activity in California is caused by this
What is plates grinding against one another (transform boundary) along active faults?
100
This geographic feature separates the Piedmont from the coastal plains
What is the fall line?
100
This is the plate boundary at which plates move apart
What is divergent?
200
Earthquakes commonly occur on this type of plate boundary
What is transform?
200
A mix of mud, water, and rocks that slides from a volcano
What is a lahar flow? 
200
This is what causes the up-and-down movement of seismographs
What is Seismic Waves? 
200
The Piedmont is found here in North Carolina 
What is the middle? 
200
This is where ocean plate is forced beneath continental plate
What is subduction zone?
300
Mountains are formed at this type of plate boundary
What is convergent?
300
Hawaii moves across this 
What is a hot spot?
300
This is where earthquakes generally occurr

300
This is the oldest geographical region of North Carolina

400
This is where the oldest crust can be found on the ocean floor
What is furthest away from seafloor spreading/mid-Atlantic ridge
400
This is the tectonic plate that holds the ring of fire
What is pacific plate?
400
These two geologic events are most common along tectonic plate boundaries
What is earthquakes and volcanoes?
400
The convergence of these two tectonic plates helped to form the Appalachian Mountains millions of years ago
What is North America and Africa? 
400
These two words describe the lithosphere
Rigid and solid
500
This illustrated seafloor spreading and helped to discover plate tectonics
