• the masses are increased, and the distance between them is decreased.

• the masses are decreased, and the distance between them is decreased.

• the masses are decreased, and the distance between them is increased.

One piece of evidence that supports the Theory of Plate Tectonics is found in the observation of rocks on either side of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, shown in the picture provided. Plate Tectonic theory is supported because, as you move out from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the rocks –

• have higher iron content.

• become thicker and thicker.

• are increasingly older.

• are made of smaller particles.

Scientists theorized that the continents were once joined together even before they had modern evidence from rocks and fossils. Using only maps, they observed that –

• continents with the most temperate climates were found near the Equator.

• the oceans have become smaller throughout the history of Earth.

• the shapes of continents appeared to allow them to fit together.

• most of the larger land masses are in the Northern Hemisphere.

• Mid-ocean ridge

• Rift valley

The border between two tectonic plates lies below the state of California. The interaction of these two plates, which slide past each other, results in which of the following?

• Mild climate

• Rich, fertile soil

• Frequent earthquakes

• Occasional wildfires
