What evidences do scientists use to support the continental drift theory?
rocks, fossils, air
rocks, fossils, climate
rocks, water, ice
rocks, fossils, human beings
What evidence did Wegener have for his theory of continental drift?
He had no evidence.
He knew that plant and animal fossils, as well as rock layers, matched on the two continents of Africa and South America.
He explained how continents moved apart.
Volcanoes form at this boundary as plates pull apart
convergent
transform
transform and convergent
divergent
This process of old crust being pulled down and remelted is called:
sea floor spreading
drifting
plate tectonics
subduction
This process makes new crust at the bottom of the ocean at a divergent boundary
Mid-Atlantic Ridge
Seafloor Spreading
Hotspot
Subduction
The youngest crust( rocks) are found ................. the mid-ocean ridge.
farthest
nearest
along
away
The theory of plate tectonics combine which two other theories?
sea floor spreading and continental drift
sea floor spreading and tidal theory
continental drift and fossil theory
continental drift and Big Bang theory
The process of one plate sliding under another plate at a convergent boundary is
transformation
convection
subduction
seafloor spreading
The partly-melted lower mantle is called:
magma
the lithosphere
the core
the asthenosphere
