Molls Tectonic Plate Movement Review

Earth's crust is broken up into several large rocky pieces called ...

• plates
• faults
• fossils
• puzzle pieces

What causes the tectonic plates to move?

• convection of magma
• the earth's magnetic field
• the earth spinning
• earth's gravitational pull

What does the theory of continental drift state?

• The continents were once joined in a super-continent and have moved over time
• Continents are stationary and do not move
• The Earth is broken into lithospheric plates that move due to convection currents
• none of the above

What was the name given to all the continents when they were joined as one super continent?

• Supreme Continent

• Eurasia

• Plate tectonics

• Pangaea

Earth's plates are....

• Constantly moving and changing the face of the Earth
• Never moved
• Move seldom and very fast
• move when they feel like it

The layer of Earth that is found directly below the lithosphere is called the -

• asthenosphere.
• inner core.
• outer core.
• crust.

What are the two types of crust

• continental and oceanic
• ocean and upper
• lower and upper
• pizza and subway

This is when two plates converge but one slides under the other due to density.

• Uplift
• Subduction
• Trench
• None of the above

What plate boundary is shown in the picture?

• convergent

• divergent

• transform

• neither

What type of plate boundary is shown in the picture

• convergent

• divergent

• transform

• faults
