What evidence supports the theory of plate tectonics?
Fossils and rocks on opposite sides of the oceans match each other.
continental drift
5 Centimeters per year
Convection currents in the mantle.
divergent boundary
slide past each other
continental drift
along the edges of tectonic plates.
The movement of tectonic plates is caused by:
Fossils and rocks on opposite sides of the oceans match each other.
continental drift
5 Centimeters per year
Convection currents in the mantle.
divergent boundary
slide past each other
continental drift
along the edges of tectonic plates.
As tectonic plates move away from one another, magma rises to fill the gap. At a mid-ocean ridge, the place where tectonic plates move apart is called a...

After new evidence was uncovered, the theory of plate tectonic replaced the earlier theory of:
Fossils and rocks on opposite sides of the oceans match each other.
continental drift
5 Centimeters per year
Convection currents in the mantle.
divergent boundary
slide past each other
continental drift
along the edges of tectonic plates.
