What are tectonic plates?
Mountain formation
Because the density is increasing
Two plates slide against each other creating earthquakes.
Magnetic stripes
Pieces of Earth’s crust and upper mantle
Convection currents in the mantle
Molten rock rises through the crust and hardens to create ocean floor.
Along fault lines/plate boundaries
Which of the following is evidence that sea-floor spreading occurs?
Mountain formation
Because the density is increasing
Two plates slide against each other creating earthquakes.
Magnetic stripes
Pieces of Earth’s crust and upper mantle
Convection currents in the mantle
Molten rock rises through the crust and hardens to create ocean floor.
Along fault lines/plate boundaries
Which of the following explains how new ocean floor is formed?
Mountain formation
Because the density is increasing
Two plates slide against each other creating earthquakes.
Magnetic stripes
Pieces of Earth’s crust and upper mantle
Convection currents in the mantle
Molten rock rises through the crust and hardens to create ocean floor.
Along fault lines/plate boundaries
According to the theory of plate tectonics, what makes Earth’s tectonic plates move?
Mountain formation
Because the density is increasing
Two plates slide against each other creating earthquakes.
Magnetic stripes
Pieces of Earth’s crust and upper mantle
Convection currents in the mantle
Molten rock rises through the crust and hardens to create ocean floor.
Along fault lines/plate boundaries
why does rock sink when it travels closer to the surface of the earth in a convection current?
Mountain formation
Because the density is increasing
Two plates slide against each other creating earthquakes.
Magnetic stripes
Pieces of Earth’s crust and upper mantle
Convection currents in the mantle
Molten rock rises through the crust and hardens to create ocean floor.
Along fault lines/plate boundaries
What landform or event is found at a convergent boundary?
Mountain formation
Because the density is increasing
Two plates slide against each other creating earthquakes.
