Which of these items are evidence for the plate tectonic theory?

The same fossils of land animals and plants are found on continents separated by oceans

Chains of volcanoes link all of the continents

The weather in South America is the same as Africa

The east coast of South America fits like a puzzle piece with the west coast of Africa

The mid-ocean ridges link all of the continents

1

The rock in the Earth's mantle is molten which is why convection currents are possible to move the tectonic plates.

Explain how Earth's surface features are formed by moving tectonic plates?

Magnetic attraction by minerals moves the plates

Ocean currents push the plates apart

Graity works as an aopposing force moving plates upward

A spinning Earth slowy moves the plates around

Individual plates float on top of moving molten material and move slowly

Ocean lithosphere sinks down because it is more dense than continental lithosphere.

Draw and name what type of plate boundary ONLY produces earthquakes.

What feature will this boundary produce if both plates are continental?

Continental Mountains

Deep Sea Trench

Mid Ocean Ridge

Volcanoes

Which type of energy resource uses concentrations of heat in some places of Earth’s crust to heat cold water, generate steam and then electricity using turbines and generators?

1

Match the natural resource to to the concern for using each.

Stavka koja se može prevući		Odgovarajuća stavka
Nuclear		Inconsistent (based on available wind)
Hydroelectric		High installation cost, affected by clouds/air pollution/day length
Solar		Hazardous spent fuel, radiation leaks
Fossil fuels (Oil, Coal, Natural gas)		Damages/destoys ecosystems
Wind		Nonrenewable, pollution (increased CO₂ )

1

Match the natural resource to to the benefit for using each.

Stavka koja se može prevući		Odgovarajuća stavka
Hydroelectric		Renewable, No pollution, Free fuel
Fossil fuels (Oil, Coal, Natural gas)		Renewable, No pollution, Quiet production (direct energy conversion with no moving parts), Works in remote locations , Free fuel
Solar		Large amount of energy from small amount of fuel, no CO₂ release or air pollution
Nuclear		Renewable, No pollution, Free fuel
Wind		Abundant, Inexpensive, Currently used

This graph shows how an increase of CO₂ over time created increased temperatures.
