Plate Tectonics Quiz Review

What is the name of the SUPERCONTINENT that was once one land mass?

Pangaea

Wegener proposed a THEORY about the continents. He said they have been moving around for millions of years. What did he call this THEORY?

The theory of Continental Drift Untold tragedies of Continental Drift..

Name the 3 types of heat transfer. Here are some hints…

Types of Heat Transfer:

What causes the mantle rock to flow very slowly?

Convection Currents

Multiple Choice: The ______ heats the mantle and makes the convection currents move. A.sun B.core C.geothermal activity D.Earth’s magnetic field

B. core

If a cruise ship is traveling from the eastern coast of Africa toward the northwest coast of Australia, which ocean is it sailing? A. Atlantic B. Pacific C. Indian D. Southern

C. Indian

If a cruise ship is traveling from South America to the Europe, which ocean is it sailing? A.Atlantic B. Pacific C. Arctic D. Southern

D. Atlantic

If a ship is traveling from Greenland, north of Iceland, then to northern Europe, which ocean is it sailing? A.Atlantic B. Pacific C. Arctic D. Southern

C. Arctic

Last summer Beth and her family took a long cruise. The ship left a port in Argentina (on the southeastern coast of South America), traveled just north of Antarctica, then travelled around southern Australia and docked in Sydney on the eastern coast of Australia, over which oceans did it sail?

Atlantic, Southern & Pacific

If a cruise ship leaves a port in California (west coast of North America) traveling toward Japan, which ocean is it sailing? A. Atlantic B. Indian C. Arctic D.Pacific

Why does mantle rock begin to sink back towards the lower mantle from the area closest to the crust? A.The mantle rock is floating. B.The mantle rock is cooled near the crust, becoming more dense. C. The mantle rock is warmed near the crust, becoming less dense. D. The mantle rock does not change near the crust.

B. The mantle rock is cooled near the crust, becoming more dense.

Wegener used evidence to explain plate movement. Which of the following was evidence used in his research? A. Land features B. Fossil evidence C. Climate evidence D. All of the above

Heat transfers by movement of currents in liquids and gasses. This is caused by differences in temperature and density. An example of this type of heat transfer occurs when mantle rock moves from near the core, towards the crust, and back again. A. Radiation B. Conduction C. Convection D. Compaction

C. Convection

New ocean floor is added when plates move ____. a. together b. sideways c. apart d. parallel

C. apart

Wegener believed that the continents moved because of evidence he found which showed mountain ranges and coal fields matching up on widely separated continents. Wegener’s use of this evidence is an example of ____. a. a prediction b. a theory c. an inference d. a controlled experiment

C. inference

Harry Hess was an American geologist who found evidence to support Wegener’s theory. His research showed that new rock formed on the ocean floor at the mid-ocean ridge while older rock was moved farther from this crack in the oceanic crust. What was this process called? A. Continental drift B. Sea-floor spreading C. Law of superposition D. Law of supervision

B. Sea-floor spreading
