Continental drift and plate tectonics

What is the theory that explains how Earth's continents have moved over time?
Continental drift
Plate tectonics
Seafloor spreading
Volcanic activity
Which of the following are evidence for continental drift?
Matching coastlines on different continents
Fossil similarities across continents
Mountain ranges
Ocean currents
Solar eclipses
What is the name of the supercontinent that existed around 300 million years ago?
How do tectonic plates move?
They float on a layer of molten lava
They are pushed by ocean currents
They are pulled by gravity
They are driven by convection currents in the mantle
Which of the following is NOT a type of plate boundary?
Convergent boundary
Divergent boundary
Transform boundary
Subduction boundary
Collision boundary
What happens at a convergent plate boundary?
Plates move apart
Plates slide past each other
Plates collide and one is forced beneath the other
Plates rotate around each other

Pacific Plate
Australian Plate
What is the name of the boundary where two plates slide past each other horizontally?
Convergent boundary
Divergent boundary
Transform boundary
Subduction boundary
What is seafloor spreading?
The process of continents drifting apart

What is a hotspot in the context of plate tectonics?
A location where two tectonic plates collide
A region of intense volcanic activity
A point on Earth's surface above a rising plume of hot mantle material
A zone of earthquake activity
