Unit 2 Test Review - Earth Science

What evidence did Wegener use for his hypothesis of a super continent?

Earth's compositional layers are: Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core

Which layer is labeled with the number 1?

At what boundary do mountain ranges typically occur?

Which one of these is not one of the 3 main types of rocks formed?

What did Wegener name the super continent?

Select which landforms/processes would be found at a TRANSFORM boundary

What type of boundary is this?

Select which landforms/processes would be found at a DIVERGENT boundary

Which of these is NOT a landform that would happen at a tectonic plate boundary?

At what boundary do island arcs typically occur?

At what boundary do volcanoes typically occur?

Where does the energy released from an Earthquake come from?

Which layer is labeled with the number 4?

Consists of molten rock that has cooled and solidified

How have scientists argued that fossil evidence can support the Theory of Plate Tectonics?

What is the name of the German man that created the term "Pangea"?

The Theory of Continental Drift was well received when it was initially published/created.

Select which landforms/processes would be found at a CONVERGENT boundary

Consists of bit or rock and other materials that have compacted together

Which layer is labeled with the number 2?

The lithosphere (crust & upper mantle) is divided into dozens of rocky slabs called...

The Theory of Plate Tectonics and the Theory of Continental Drift are the same.

Which of these things can be used by scientists to track the movement of tectonic plates?

What theory is this? "The theory that the continents move/float over the Earth's surface"

What type of boundary is this?

At what boundary do rift valleys typically occur?

Which layer is labeled with the number 3?

What describes how the three main types of rocks are formed?

At what boundary do trenches typically occur?

At what boundary do mid-ocean ridges typically occur?

How many main types of rock ARE formed?

What is the "Ring of Fire"?

(Think about the rock cycle) There are 5 main types of rocks formed.

What theory states that it is not the continents themselves that have moved, but rather the plates

What type of boundary is this?

Formed from extreme heat or pressure

At what boundary do earthquakes typically occur?
