Scientists have used this to map Earth's interior

Coal deposits in cold areas helped prove Continental Drift

Tectonic plates of the lithosphere slowly float around on the

The largest of Earth's layers, containing most of its mass

When water and wind lose energy and can no longer transport a material, the material is

A glacier is most likely responsible for

Rocks are characterized as being

Wegener's single land mass was called

Sea floor spreading occurs

The core is composed mostly of

Any rock can become igneous rock if

The thinner, denser plate that normally move under other plates

Rock that is weathered, eroded and washed away and becomes compacted and cemented is

Evidence for continental Drift includes all except

A plate boundary where plates slide past each other and produce earthquakes

Continental Drift Theory was proposed by

The changing of rock as a result of stress is

The "Ring of Fire" is

As the Earth formed, dense material like iron

Volcanic Island chains are formed at

Metamorphic rock is formed as a result of

Salt crystallization can split rock as a result of

The boundary where two plates slowly seperate

Breaking of rock into smaller pieces

Elements like oxygen, silicon and aluminum are common in

Proof for sea floor spreading includes

Volcanoes form on plate boundaries because

General structure of Earth is separated into layers based on

A continent to continent convergent boundary often produces
