1
Fossils are...
only found really deep underground
cool looking rocks
preserved remains of plants & animals from the remote past
2
One piece of evidence that Wegener used to determine Continental Drift was...
fossil evidence
plate tectonics
convection currents
3
Tectonic plates are constantly moving.
True
False
4
Why was Alfred Wegener's Theory of Continental Drift not well received when he introduced it?
Wegener was not a well known scientist.
Wegener lied a lot and people didn't believe him.
Wegener didn't know what force caused the plates to move.
5
Glaciers are used as evidence in Continental Drift.
True
False
6
Which is NOT a type of evidence to support the CDT?
Continental Fit
Glacial Striations
Fossils
Landmass Bridges
7
Everyone accepted Wegener's Theory of Continental Drift bc he had so much evidence to prove it.
False
True
8
The Mesosaurus represents what type of evidence that the continents actually moved?
Fossil Evidence
Zoological Evidence
Glacial Evidence
Evidence of climate change
9
What is the force that moves the continents?
Radiation
Conduction
Conveyor Belts
Convection
10
Usually only hard parts of the plant or animal are fossilized.
True
False
11
Only the continents move.
True
False
12
How does this picture below support the Continental Drift Theory?
Glacial Evidence
Landform Evidence
Zoological Evidence
Continents fit together like puzzle pieces
13
Alfred Wegener created the Theory of Continental Drift.
True
False
14
The continents fit together like a puzzle to form a supercontinent - PANGEA.
True
False
15
How does this picture of landforms & rock layers support the CDT?
It's by chance that the mountain ranges line up together
The convection currents dissolved the land in between
The landforms & rock layers match up on both sides
16
Fossils are found...
mostly in igneous rock
mostly in metamorphic rock
mostly in sedimentary rock
17
Which of these terms means scratches in rocks caused by glaciers?
Striations
Stratosphere
