an example of
C 400

33. continental-continental collision

34. The thin, rigid layer that forms the outermost part of the lithosphere is called Earth's

35. crust
C 500

36. Many scientists rejected continental drift when it was first proposed because

37. Wegener could not explain how Earth's continents moved

divergent boundary
oceanic-continental subduction
transform boundary

D 300

41. transform boundary
D 300

F 100

57. geysers
F 100

58. What are some of the effects of volcanic eruptions on Earth's atmosphere?

59. An increase in acid rain and a decrease in Earth’s temperature
