- Q1What type of rock evidence supports the theory of plate movement?Similar rock types and structures on different continentsVariations in rock colorPresence of gold depositsDifferent types of rocks on the same continent30sS9ES–Ia-j-36.6
- Q2Which aspect of continental drift supports the evidence of plate movement?Matching shoreline of different continentsThe presence of mountainsSize of the continentsAge of the continents30sS9ES–Ia-j-36.6
- Q3How does the study of ancient climate contribute to the evidence of plate movement?Similar glacial grooves and sediment patterns in separate continentsSudden change in weather patternsIncrease in global temperatureChanging patterns of monsoon30sS9ES–Ia-j-36.6
- Q4Which of these are lines of evidence that support plate movement?The color of rocksThe depth of the oceanFossils, magnetic patterns in rock, and earthquake dataThe shape of continents only30sS9ES–Ia-j-36.6
- Q5Which of these observations would best support the notion of sea floor spreading which is a crucial aspect of plate movement?Identical magnetic patterns in sea floor rocks on both sides of a mid-ocean ridgeChange in sea water salinityIncrease in sea levelDecrease in sea temperature30sS9ES–Ia-j-36.6
- Q6How does the distribution of fossils contribute to the evidence of plate movement?Unique fossils found on each continentThe same fossils found in every region around the worldSimilar fossils found on different continentsPresence of dinosaur fossils only30sS9ES–Ia-j-36.6
- Q7How does data from seismic activity serve as evidence for plate movement?Seismic activity has no relation with the location of platesSeismic activity only occurs away from plate boundariesMost earthquakes and volcanoes occur at plate boundariesAll continents experience identical seismic activity30sS9ES–Ia-j-36.6
- Q8What does the observation of mid-ocean ridges indicate about plate movement?They are sites of plate destructionThey are sites of seafloor spreading where new ocean floor is createdThey have no relation to plate movementThey indicate where continental plates are colliding30sS9ES–Ia-j-36.6
- Q9How does studying the age of rocks on the seafloor serve as evidence for plate movement?Older rocks are found near the mid-ocean ridgesThe rocks maintain the same age throughout the seafloorThe age of the rocks is not related to their location on the seafloorThe rocks are younger near the mid-ocean ridges and older further away30sS9ES–Ia-j-36.6
- Q10What does the presence of mountain ranges in certain continents indicate about plate movement?They could be formed from tectonic plates collidingAll mountains are the result of meteor impactsMountain ranges indicate where plates are separatingMountain ranges have no relation to plate tectonics30sS9ES–Ia-j-36.6
