This document is about plate tectonics and contains questions about key aspects of the theory. It asks about which layers of the Earth plates are found in, who theorized plate tectonics, why the theory was initially rejected, the different types of plate movements (divergence, convergence, transform), past supercontinents, geological features created by plate movements, how plate interactions lead to features like mountains and ocean basins, how scientists study plates using earthquakes and volcanoes, the cause of plate movement, and names major and minor tectonic plates.

Teacher: Mrs. Marilou Duque Section: 10 - Maxwell _________is the scientific theory that describes the movement and interactions of large pieces, or plates, of the Earth's lithosphere Plate tectonics are found in what layers of the earth? Who theorized the plate tectonic theory? Plate tectonics was rejected when it was initially proposed. What is the reason for its rejection? Plates moving away each others is called? Plates moving towards each others is called? Plates slides against each others is called? What do you call the supercontinent that existed 335 and 175 million years ago? Give at least 2 geological features that are created by tectonic plate movement How do interactions between tectonic plates lead to the formation of mountains, ocean basins, and other geological features? How do scientists use earthquakes and volcanoes to study tectonic plates? Plates slides against each others is called? What is the cause of tectonic plates movement? Name all the Major tectonic plates Name 5 minor tectonic plates
