15. Tectonic Theory 400
Question: Draw ridge push, slab pull, and convection currents.
Answer:

16. Tectonic Theory 500
Question: How are continental drift and plate tectonics related?
Answer: Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth is made up of plates that move. Continental drift is the hypothesis that the continents used to be one. Continental drift is caused by plate tectonics.
