What's the relationship between plate movement and earthquakes?

Plate movement causes earthquakes

Similar coal deposits were found in England and Canada. How did they get so far apart?

Seafloor spreading at a divergent boundary separted them

This image shows that...

Earth quakes and volcanoes happen in similar areas

Which is the correct list of Earth's layers from the inside out?

Inner core, outer core, mantle, crust

When one plate moves under another plate

When the seafloor splits at a divergent boundary, what fills in the gap beween the plates?

Rock in the mantle rises & hardens on both plate edges

What are the three types of Volcanoes?

Composite (strato), Cinder Cone, Shield

What are the three types of plate boundaries?

Divergent, convergent, transform

How are oceanic and continental crust different?

Oceanic crust is thinner and denser

What is Earth's outer layer like under both the land and the ocean of this image?

Underneath all of Earth’s outer layer is hard, solid rock.

At which site would you expect to find solid rock if you drilled down?

At sites 1 and 2 because all Earth's crust is solid rock

23
What was the name of the Super Continent?
Super Gia
Lawzawnya
Pangaea
Laurasia
24
At which site would you expect to find solid rock if you drilled down?
Neither, because solid rock in only in the mountains
At site 2 because it is on solid ground
