21
When does Seafloor Spreading occur?
All continents were once connected as one large land mass.
which the ocean floor sinks below a deep ocean trench.
The seafloor spreads apart and magma rises to fill the gap.

Convergent
Ridges
Divergent
23
This was NOT a piece of evidence for Continental Drift
The continents fit like a puzzle
Rock structures are found in different countries
The fossils of warm weather plants in arctic regions
The magma would rise and cool

Basalt
Metal
Sulfur
Granite
25
What is the outer most layer of the earth that is made out of granite?
Crust
