Unit 5: Plate Tectonics Review Guide
Things you need to know for the test……
Be able to explain……
Who was Alfred Wegener?
What was his theory?
What was his evidence (at least 3)?
Why did no one believe him?
Theory of Continental Drift and Pangaea
What are layers of earth and what the Lithosphereic plates move on
What are the two types of lithospheric plates?
Explain the difference between each (at least 3 differences)?
What types of rocks make up continental and oceanic crust?
What is a mid-ocean ridge and who discovered it?
Explain the process of subduction.
What did Harry Hess call his hypothesis?
What is sea-floor spreading?
What evidence is there that supports sea floor spreading?
Be able to explain the process of convection (where it happens) and how it relates sea floor spreading
Divergent definition example continental/continental
Definitions of transform fault boundary and how they are detected
