faults
8
Where does subduction occur?

Mountains
Canyons
9

convergent
divergent
irregular
transform
10
A convergent boundary is where the plates are
sliding past each other
colliding together
moving apart
11

sliding past each other
moving apart
colliding together
15
Who was the scientist that developed the theory of Continental Drift?
Jane Goodall
Harry Hess
Albert Einstein
Alfred Wegener
16
What tool was used to map the Mid Ocean Ridge by Harry Hess in 1960?
echolocation
underwater cameras
vision
sonar
17
Why was Alfred Wegener's theory originally rejected by scientific peers?
His theory didn't make any sense.
He couldn't explain how the continents moved.
He had no evidence.
They already knew the continents could not move.
