that all of the continents once fit together

Question 32

what was wegners evidence for his theory?

Answer 32

the plates fit in a jigsaw pattern, there are the same fossil and rock formations on the other side of oceans and no where else.

Question 33

what is wegners super continent?

pangea

Question 34

how does a volcano map relate to tectonic theory.

Answer 34

around where the tectonic plate boundarys are there are earthquakes and volcanoes almost outlining the plates.

Question 35

how to the tectonic plates move?

Answer 35

by convection currents in the mantle.

Question 36

what are the two types of crust?

Answer 36

oceanic and continental.

Question 37

what happens at a constructive plate boundary?

Answer 37

the plates move away from eachother

Question 38

what happens at destructive plate boundarys?

Answer 38

one plate moves under another.

Question 39

what happens at conservative plate boundarys?

Answer 39

the plates move alongside eachother.

Question 40

why does a destructive plate boundary occour?

Answer 40

because one plate is thinner than another so it gets pushed under and melted into magma.

Question 41

what is the gas test for oxygen?

Answer 41

place a glowing splint into a test tube, if oxygen is present the splint will light on fire.

Question 42

what is the test for carbon dioxide?

Answer 42

blow into limewater, if the solution goes cloudy carbon dioxide is present.
