| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| means all lands | pangea |
| j tuzo wilson | plate tectonics |
| when one plate drives under one another | subduction |
| fern like a fossil | glossopten |
| under sea mountain made by a divergent boundary | mid-ocean ridge |
| layer of soft rock | asthenosphere |
| deep valley in the ocean where the crust sinks toward the mantle | rift valley |
| layer of rigid or hard work | lithosphere |
| deep valley in the ocean where the crust sinks towards the mantle | deep sea trench |
| pangea | continental drift |
| difference between inner core and outer core | inner core is solid metal while the outer is liquid metal |
| difference between astenosphere and lithosphere | the lithosphere is a rigid layer while the astenosphere is a soft layer |
| a transform plate boundary | has two plates moving past each other in opposite directions. |
| convergent plate boundary | a boundary with to plates moving close to eachother |
| divergent plate boundary | has two plates move further from one another |
| why was plate tectonics accepted and continental drift declined | plate tectonics had evidence and support while continental drift never has an answer. |
| when new crust is recycled in the mantle | sea floor spreading |
| helped form the theory of plate tectonics | continental drift and sea floor spreading |
| oceanic crust is made of | basalt |
| continental crust is made of | granite |
