Earth's Layers and Plate Tectonics

A divergent boundary occurs where two plates:

Which layer of Earth’s interior is liquid?

A transform boundary occurs where two plates:

Which layer is solid due to the huge amounts of pressure?

Name the famous transform boundary between the North American plate and the Pacific plate:

What are tectonic plates?

_ are caused by continent-continent convergence.

Hypothesis that continents move slowly over surface and were joined into one supercontinent is:

The Eurasian Plate has which two countries?

A __ is where oceanic crust is pushed into the Earth by continental crust.

This layer flows similar to a liquid, but is a solid

About 80 percent of Earth’s volume is made up of:

This is the theory about how Earth's crust is broken into pieces and how they move slowly.

Oceanic crust is _ & _ than continental crust.

Both the inner and outer core is made up of:

_ are caused by ocean-ocean divergence.

The ­­­­_ and _ both make up the mantle and are involved in plate tectonics.

This is the thinnest layer of the Earth.

The Mid-Atlantic Ridge can be found at:

A convergent boundary occurs where two plates:

_ are caused by ocean-continent convergence.

Which of the following is NOT evidence of plate tectonics?

_ are caused by continent-continent divergence.

All of today's continents were once all connected forming a “supercontinent” called _.

This causes Earth's plates to move:

Which plate boundary is the following picture:

_ proposed that the continents were once joined in a single super-continent.
