Quiz Analysis Unit 4: Plate Tectonics
Part 1
Objective
Content Objective#1:Describe the evidence Alfred Wegener used to
develop his theory of continental drift
5.1.1 Describe when and how Pangaea formed and subsequently broke up
5.1.2 Explain the fossil evidence that Wegener used to support continental
drift
5.1.3 Explain the rock evidence Wegener used to support his theory
5.1.4 Explain the evidence of ancient climates used to support Wegener’s
theory
5.1.5 Describe the criticism Wegener faced regarding his theory
Content Objective #2:Describe Earth’s Inner Structure
5.2.1 Be able to identify the layers of Earth’s internal structure
5.2.3 Describe the structure, composition, and density of Earth’s two types of
crust
5.2.3 Describe the structure, layers, and composition of Earth’s mantle
5.2.4 Describe how the asthenosphere can act as both a liquid and solid
layer
5.2.5 Describe the structure and composition of Earth’s lower mantle
5.2.6 Describe the structure and composition of Earth’s core
5.2.7 Describe how scientists have inferred the structure of inner Earth
5.2.8 Describe how convection provides the mechanism to cause plate
movement
Content Objective #3:Explain the theory of Plate Tectonics
5.3.1 Compare the theories of plate tectonics and continental drift
5.3.2 Describe Earth’s lithosphere and lithospheric plates
5.3.3 Determine how quickly the lithospheric plates move
5.3.4 Identify the three types of plate boundaries and how they move
relative to one another
