Name 2 pieces of evidence that support the theory of continental drift.
Convergent (continental vs. continental crust)
The mantle rock heats up and rises. The mantle rock close to the surface cools and sinks. This is a convection cycle.
The plates move apart and magma leaks up and hardens leaving behind a ridge valley.
Fossil evidence – fossils of same species found on different continents, Mountain ranges –mountains on different continents
When two continental plates collide called convergent.
A sea or ocean
By sliding past one another.
50 years.
The half-life of strontium-90 is 25 years. How old is a fossil when ¼ of its parent material remains?
