Plate Tectonics

A supercontinent that broke apart 200 million years ago and formed today's continents is called

Animal and plant fossils match along boundaries of connected continents. This is evidence of:

What type of boundary is this? (Plates move towards each other, colliding)

The theory that pieces of the Earth's crust are in constant motion is called:

Who is the man that came up with the theory of plate tectonics?

When molten material adds new oceanic crust to the ocean floor, this is called:

All of the following is evidence of sea-floor spreading, EXCEPT:

Mountain ranges in Africa match up with those in South America. This evidence of:

What type of boundary is this? (Plates slide past one another in opposite directions)

There are tropical fossils today in an area of a polar climate.

A break in the crust where slabs of rock slip past each other is known as a:

True or False: Subductions is when continental crust sinks beneath a deep ocean trench.
