Chapter 4 Science Study Guide Name:______________ 1. Where are the newest oceanic crusts located: Mid-ocean ridges 2. Name the ancient continent that contained all of the landmasses. Pangaea 3. According to Wegener, when did the continents originally break apart? 200 million years ago 4. The same types of rocks, rock structures, and fossils have been found to exist on many different continents. What theory does this support? Continental drift 5. What is glossopteris? A fossil plant that helps support the theory of continental drift 6. Why does sea floor spreading occur? Molten material beneath Earth’s crust rises to the surface 7. What type of currents inside Earth might be a cause of sea floor spreading? Convection 8. As new oceanic crusts form, the older oceanic crust moves_____________ Away from the ridge 9. __________is the theory that continents have moved over time to where they are now. Continental drift 10. True or false: Convection provides matter and energy for plate motion True 11. True or false: The speed of plate movement could be compared to the growth of a fingernail. True 12. Two types of lithosphere are _______________ and __________________. Continental and oceanic 13. Matter and energy for plate motion are provided by ______________. Convection 14. What causes hot, plastic-like rock in the asthenosphere to rise toward Earth’s surface? Differences in density 15. Which layer of the Earth can be described as thick, made of granite and gneiss? Continental lithosphere 16. What are the two things that happen when the edges of plates run into, move apart, or scrape past each other? Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions 17. Earth’s _______________ field has reversed itself many times. Magnetic 18. Know the information on the diagram on page 176.
