The crust is forced upward at the point of collision, which forms mountains over a long period of time. 19. solid rock that flows very slowly. The tectonic plates float, or move very slowly on top of the asthenosphere. When rocks are pulled apart by tension, hanging walls tend to slip below the footwall. When rocks are pushed together by compression, hanging walls tend to push above the footwall. Answers will vary. Sample answer: Molten rock at mid-ocean ridges has magnetized minerals that align with Earth’s magnetic field. When the Earth’s magnetic field reverses, the magnetized minerals align in the opposite direction. The record of magnetic reversals is carried away from each side of the spreading center of a midocean ridge, showing that the molten rock is creating new lithosphere. Answers will vary. Sample answer: When tectonic plates slide past each other, the movement may cause earthquakes, which might injure people or damage property in a community. Answers will vary. Sample answer: Continental crust: Continental crust is thicker than ocean crust, but much less dense and therefore easier to drill through because it contains less dense minerals. Oceanic crust: Although it is denser than continental crust, oceanic crust is much thinner than continental crust, and therefore would take less time to drill through. a. Pangaea; b. Gondwana; c.
