Plate Tectonics Pacific Plate

This is the theory that states that all the continents started as a single massive continent and have been MOVING apart for over 200 million years and the man that proposed it.

• The Big Bang Theory, Einstein
• The Pangea Theory, Hutton
• The Tectonic Plate Theory, Darwin
• The Continental Drift Theory, Wegner

This is the driving force behind the movement of tectonic plates.

• Mantle convection currents
• Oceanic convection currents
• Atmospheric convection currents
• Solar convection currents

Which is older oceanic or continental crust?

• Oceanic
• Continental

The rocks closer to the mid-oceanic ridge are younger than the rocks further away from the mid-oceanic ridge.

• True
• False

The movement of plates at a divergent boundary

• move towards each other
• slide past each other
• move up and down
• move away from each other

 A land feature that is produced at a convergent boundary is

• a valley
• an ocean
• a canyon
• a volcano

This image represents this type of boundary

• divergent
• transform
• convergent
