Name: __________________________________ Period: __________ Plate Tectonics, Boundaries, Weathering, & Topographic Maps Review Please use your notes and your Texas Fusion textbook to answer the following questions. This review is in preparation for your test, which will be on _______________. The following TEKS will be the focus of your exam: 8.9A (Supporting) Describe the historical development of evidence that supports the plate tectonic theory. 8.9B (Readiness) Relate plate tectonics to the formation of crustal features. 8.9C (Readiness) Interpret topographic maps and satellite views to identify land and erosional features and predict how these features may be reshaped by weathering. Part I: Theory of Continental Drift and Plate Tectonics Write a summary sentence for each of the evidences in the flow chart below. Use your foldable notes on “Continental Drift and Plate Tectonics” or pages 346-­‐351 in your Texas Fusion textbook. Continental Drift Plate Tectonics Evidence #1 Evidence #1 Evidence #2 Evidence #2 Evidence #3 Evidence #3 Use pages 350-­‐351 in your Texas Fusion textbook to write a main idea sentence in each box of the following timeline.
