Directions: Read and identify the following questions.

1. This theory that the Earth’s outer layer, called the lithosphere is divided into large rigid plates that move
slowly over the underlying mantle. (Plate Tectonics)
2. This theory suggested that continents were once joined together as a single landmass called Pangea.
(Continental Drift Theory)
3. This process by which new oceanic crust is formed at mid ocean ridge as plates move apart. (Seafloor
Spreading Theory)
4. This plate is thinner and denser. Oceanic Plate
5. It composed primarily of granite. Continental Plate
6. This study of the Earth’s magnetic field in the past shows that continents have moved over time.
Paleomagnetism
7. This evidence is a matching rock formation and mountain ranges can be found on different continents.
Geological Evidences
8. What evidence is the coastline of South America and Africa appear to fit together like a puzzle pieces? Fit
of the continents
9. This evidence is had been found on different continents suggesting that these continents were joined once.
Fossil Evidences
10. What plate boundaries is where two plates move apart? Divergent
11. What plate boundaries is where two plates collide? Convergent plate
12. This plate boundary is where two plates slide past to each other horizontally causing earthquake. Transform
fault bounderies
13. _________ is a process where magma rises from the mantle at mid-ocean ridges cools and creating new
oceanic crust? Seafloor Spreading
14. This movement of molten rocks in the mantle, driven by heat from Earth’s core. Convection Current
15. Ridge push is the weight of dense oceanic plates subducting beneath continental plates pull the plates
along. False
16. Slab pull is a creation of new oceanic crust at mid ocean ridges pushes plates away from each other. False
17. This is outermost layer of the Earth, it composed of solid rock. Crust
18. A solid sphere composed primarily of iron and nickel. Inner core
19. The thickest part of the Earth, composed of hot solid rock. Mantle
20. A liquid layer composed primarily of iron and nickel. Outer Core
21. What landform that have a dry area, regions with little or no vegetation? Dessert
22. It is a landform that have a deep, narrow valleys that formed by erosion. Canyons
23. It is a type of landform that have a depression in the Earth’s surface formed by erosion. Valleys
24. It is formed when magma rises to the surface. Volcanoes
25. It is formed by tectonic plates collisions, erosion, and deposition. Mountains
26. It is a flat, elevated areas formed by volcanic activity or tectonic uplift. Plateaus
27. It is landform that have a low, flat areas formed by erosion and deposition. Plains

Identify if Volcanoes, Earthquake, Tsunami, Seiches, Floods.

28. It is often found along plate boundaries, specifically convergent and divergent boundaries. Volcanoes
29. Primary waves that can travel trough both solid and liquid materials. Earthquake
30. It causes undersea earthquake volcanic eruption and landslide. Tsunami
31. This effect is oscillation of water in enclosed bodies of water, such as lakes and harbors. Seiches
32. Heavy rainfalls, snowmelt, dam failure, and coastal flooding Floods
33. Secondary wave that can only travel through solid materials. Earthquake
34. It is Love waves and Rayleigh waves that travel along the Earth surface Earthquake
35. Widespread destruction and loss of life along coastlines. Tsunami
