Name Date Block 8.3 – What is Seafloor Spreading? Lesson Review Write true if the statement is true. If the statement is false, change the underlined term to make the statement true. 1. The two kinds of crust are oceanic crust and land. mountain chains are called mid‐ocean ridges. 2. Series of underwater Ridge. 3. Iceland is part of the Mid‐Pacific 4. Oceanic crust near a mid‐ocean ridge is older than crust farther away. 5. The deep crack running down the center of an ocean ridge is called a trench. 6. New continental crust is formed at the mid‐ocean ridges. 7. Seafloor spreading is a process that forms new oceanic crust. Skill Challenge Skills: modeling, identifying Complete the following. 1. Label the figure below. Use these terms: rising magma, ocean crust, mid‐ocean ridge, and rift zone. 2. Draw magnetic stripes with arrows to show changes in Earth’s magnetic field found in rocks on the ocean crust that parallel the ridge. 3. What is a trench? 4. Explain the relationship between trenches and seafloor spreading: Name Date Block 8.4 – What causes plate tectonics? Lesson Review PART A Write the letter of the term that best completes each statement in the spaces provided. 1. Scientists think that the movement of tectonic plates is caused by a. conveyor belts b. heat in Earth’s core. c. pressure in Earth’s crust. d. convection currents. 2. A convection current is caused by differences in a. temperature. b. air pressure. c. mass. d. color. 3. Tectonic plates that move apart most likely are located along a. mountains. b. continents. c. islands. d. rift valleys. 4. Tectonic plates that move towards each other are most likely located along a. volcanic mountains. b. ocean crust c. transform faults. d. rift valleys. PART B Draw arrows on each diagram to show a convection current. If possible, use red arrows for hot and blue arrows for cool. Skill Challenge Skills: modeling, analyzing On each diagram below, draw arrows to show the different ways in which tectonic plates move. C C C O a. b. C c.
