- The Himalayan Mountains formed as a result of which of the following?
Oceanic crust collided with oceanic crust.
Continental crust collided with oceanic crust.
Continental crust collided with continental crust.
Magma erupted and cooled.
2.What do scientists think is the dominate force that drives plate movements?
convection cells within the outer core
slab pull from subducted plates
convection cells within the asthenosphere
slab push from seafloor spreading
3.Which supercontinent is thought to have formed about 1 billion years ago and to have included most of Earth’s land masses?
Gondwana
Laurasia
Pangaea
Rodinia
4.What was Pangaea?
a supercontinent about 250 million years ago
one of the large continents from Rodinia
a piece of Laurasia
a supercontinent about 1 billion years ago
5.What are the components of the plate tectonic theory? Check all that apply.
subduction
land bridges
seafloor spreading
Earth’s rotation
6.Which plate boundary occurs as oceanic crust collides with continental crust?
convergent plate boundaries
divergent plate boundaries
transform plate boundaries
transient plate boundaries
7.What did the discovery of subduction do for the theory of plate tectonics?
It explained how the continents move.
It provided the mechanism for seafloor spreading.
It explained how the continents move without the Earth getting bigger.
It explained how several supercontinents formed and broke up over time.
8.What was Harry Hess’s contribution to the plate tectonic theory?
seafloor spreading
continental drift
subduction
magnetic reversals in the oceans
