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

24. 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

26. 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

27. C. Convection

31. C. inference

32. Harry Hess was an American geologist who found evidence to support Wegener’s theory.

Continental drift B. Sea-floor spreading C. Law of superposition D. Law of supervision

33. B. Sea-floor spreading
