5
Plate tectonics can also be the direct cause of forming
oceans
mountains
lakes

6
A divergent boundary is where the plates are
moving apart
sliding past each other
colliding together
7
Volcanic islands when what type of crust interaction occurs?
ocean to ocean convergent
ocean to ocean divergent
land to land divergent
ocean to land convergent
8
The Earth's continents were once connected in one giant continent called
Eurasia
Pangaea
Pacifica
Indo-Australia
9
The mid ocean ridge is which type of boundary?
transform
convergent
divergent
irregular
10
Why was Alfred Wegener's theory originally rejected by scientific peers?
He had no evidence.
He couldn't explain how the continents moved.
They already knew the continents could not move.
His theory didn't make any sense.

earthquakes
Mid ocean ridges
faults

13
A convergent boundary is where the plates are
colliding together
sliding past each other
moving apart

Water Evidence
Fossil Evidence
Landform Evidence
17
Mountains form when what type of crust interaction occurs?
ocean to land convergent
land to land convergent
land to land divergent
ocean to ocean convergent
18
The continents are moving away from each other as magma rises from mid-ocean ridges. This is...
sea floor rising
underwater volcanos
changing sea floor
sea floor spreading
19
Which process does not contribute to plate movement?
Ridge push
Gravity Pull
Mantle convection
Ridge Pull
20
