• Supercontinent

• The crust

• Pangaea

Evidence that supports continental drift includes __________________.

The __________________ are chains of seafloor mountains that wrap around the Earth, like the seem of a baseball.

• Mid-Ocean Ridge

• Ocean Trench

• Divergent boundary

• Transform boundary

______________________ continually adds new rock to the ocean floor causing the sea floor to spread apart.

• Sea-floor spreading

• Ocean trenches

• Divergent mid-ocean ridges

• Convergent mid-ocean ridges

Oceans plates sink back into the mantle at _______________ zones, keeping the crust the same size.

• Mid-ocean ridges

• Ocean trenches

• Subduction

• Transforming
