  1. Changing Earth Ch. 1 Review Who am I?

  2. I’m an area of volcanic activity that develops above rising plumes of magma. • Hot spot

  3. I’m the huge underwater mountain ranges that are present in every ocean and circle the earth. • mid-ocean ridges

  4. I’m one plate sinking beneath another. • Subduction

  5. I state that Earth’s lithosphere is broken into huge, moving slabs of rock driven by motions in the mantle. • Theory of plate tectonics

  6. I’m the name that Alfred Wegener gave to the huge supercontinent that he proposed had once existed. • Pangaea

  7. I’m the place where older crust is destroyed because two plates converge, or push together • Convergent boundary

  8. I occur where two plates move past each other in opposite directions. • Transform boundary

  9. I’m the hypothesis that proposed that Earth’s continents were once joined in a single landmass and then gradually moved apart • Continental drift

  10. I’m the layer of hotter, softer rock in the upper mantle. • Asthenosphere

  11. I’m a plate with oceanic crust sinking under a plate with continental crust. • Oceanic -continental subduction

  12. I’m the layer of liquid metals that surrounds the inner core. • Outer core

  13. I’m the motion created when heated material continually rises, cools, and sinks. • Convection current

  14. I’m the thin layer of rock that surrounds the Earth. • Crust

  15. I’m the gap that forms as tectonic plates move apart • Rift valley

  16. I am the layer at the center of the Earth. • Inner core

  17. I am the three pieces of evidence that proved Wegener’s Continental Drift theory to be correct. • Fossils, climate and geography

  18. I am the main driving force of plate tectonics. • convection in the astenosphere

  19. I am the part of the Earth that makes up a tectonic plate • crust and upper most mantle

  20. I am a boundary that is also known as a spreading center. • Divergent boundary

  21. I am the pattern formed by magnetic minerals at a mid-ocean ridge. • Same on either side of the ridge

  22. I was formed after a continental-continental collision of the African and European plates. • The Alps

  23. Hint: • How do the studies of the ocean floor- and everything that is happening there- help explain the theory of plate tectonics?
