1. What evidence do scientists have that large plates of land are moving?

- I think mountains growing and earthquakes are evidence but I'm not sure completely sure.
-(Now I learned Hotspots, Island moving, and Earthquakes are evidence of plates moving.

2. What are some names of the major plates of land?


I have no idea.
At first, I had no idea about the names of major plates but now I know the Pacific,
Northwest, Philippine, and continental plates.

3. What are some ways that tectonic plates can interact with each other?

I know that plates can interact with each other by slamming into each other but I'm not sure about the
rest.

After my study I learned divergent, convergent, and constructive boundaries are evidence of plates
interacting with each other.

4. How can land forms provide evidence for scientists to determine plate boundaries?

-I know mountain ranges are evidence of plates hitting each other but I'm not sure about
the rest.

-I was correct but know I learned plates moving makes mountains.

5. How does the theory of plate tectonics relate to mountains and volcanoes?

I think mountains are formed by plates hitting each other and volcanoes are plates pulling apart but I'm
not completely sure
-I learned when plates are pushing or pulling it makes mountains or volcanoes or the
make a subduction zone making a mountain and a trench.
