9
What is the defintion of Continental Drift?
When both continental crust & oceanic crust form together
The concept that the Earth’s continents were once together but split apart
The study of rocks and the physical history of the earth.
When one plate is pushed under another
10
Second Evidence of Continental Drift?
When plates are pushed together it creates an Earthquake
Plates are most active between 7:00AM-10:00AM
Fossils of the same plants and animals on different continents
When plates move apart to produce gaps which makes lava rise

5
7
8
10
15
What is Greenhouse effect?
Heat Waves that move throughout the Earth
Reduced fossil fuels
When the Earth is surrounded by a thin layer of gasses
Significant increases in extreme weather events such as storms, and floods.
16
Innuitian Mountains are also known?
The youngest mountains
The highest mountains
The icy watch towers of Canada
The oldest mountains
17
After all that it goes through heat and pressure which turns it into what type of rock?
Sandstone
Sedimentary
Igneous
Metamorphic
18
What is Folding Mountain Ranges?
When mountains are created due to plates pushing against each other
When fossils of the same plants and animals are on different continents
When plates push toward each other crashing
When a global system of active volcanic mountains circle the Pacific Ocean
19
The defintion of Ocean Currents is?
Sea levels rising throughout different oceans
Heat Waves
Air passing over water it picks up its moisture and temperature
Weather and climate
20
The defintion of Air Masses is?
Movement caused by different pressures
Heat Waves throughout Canada and the United States
The colder it is means the farther you are away from the equator
A large volume of air that takes on the moisture and temperature
21
Who helped bring up theory again about Continental Drift?

Tuzo Wilson
Amon-Ra St. Brown
Michael Thomas
22
Shale is an example of what type of rock?
Sedimentary
Magma
Metamorphic
Igneous
23
Which region do we live in?
Hudson Bay Lowlands
Great Lakes - St. Lawrence Lowlands
Arctic Lowlands
Appalachian Mountains
24
Defintion of Latitude is?
Is when sea levels rise when they are nearby mountains
Determining how warm a climate is
Movement of air caused by differences in air pressure
Air passing over water
25
Marble is an example of what type of rock?
Magma
Sedimentary
Metamorphic
Igneous
26
Which layer is a very dense solid rock mostly made up of iron?

The inner core
27
Great Lakes - St. Lawrence Lowlands are known for?
Having urban and industrial heartland
Having oil and salt mining companies
Having climate issues
Having a low population
28
The defintion of Elevation is?
When you are on the top of a mountain, it gets hoter the higher you go
When you are on the top of a mountain, it gets colder the higher you go
Movement of weather throughout time zones.
It's when air exapands and cools down
29
The defintion of Relief is?
Refers to the differences in elevation on the earth’s surface
At a higher elevation, there is less air sitting on top of the air
The further north or south of the equator, the colder the temperature
As the air rises, the pressure decreases.
