    False
    True

    The lithospheric plates move in the same general direction.
    True
    False

  • Q7
    Which of the following is not evidence that supports continental drift?
    The surface of the earth is constructed of lithosphere that is broken up into plates.
    Grooves of ancient glaciers that line-up when continents are rearranged.
    Mountains with similar rock layers that align when continents are rearranged.
    Similar fossils that line-up when certain continents are rearranged.

  • Q8
    Alfred Wegener believed that there are multiple pieces of evidence that point to the idea that:
    the continents were once joined together to form a single large landmass.
    the surface of the earth never changes.
    continents move because the lithospheric plates move,
    the continents were not joined together to form a single landmass.

  • Q9
    Which of the following is a similarity between plate tectonics and continental drift?
    Pangea
    Explain earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountains.
    Continents rearrange
    Lithosphere is formed and destroyed at plate boundaries.
    45s
  • Q10
    Plate tectonics helps to explain:
    the formation of mountains of ice cream
    the movement of plates, saucers, and bowls
    earthquakes and volcanoes
    all of these are correct

  • Q11
    Subduction occurs at:
    convergent boundaries (oceanic and continental plates)
    convergent boundaries (continental and continental plates)
    divergent boundaries
    convergent boundaries (oceanic and oceanic plates)
    45s
  • Q12
    Subduction is:
    when a continental plate sinks beneath an oceanic plate
    when one plate sinks under another plate and melts into magma.
    when a plate moves down and another plate moves up
    when a plate sinks under another plate
