It is a soft, weak and plastic-like layer, upper part of the mantle where lithospheric plates float and move.

=ASTHENOSPHERE
These are hot molten rocks formed beneath the Earth’s surface.

=MAGMA

It is the innermost layer of the Earth which generates heat to the mantle.

1.A warm mantle currents drive and carry plates of lithosphere along a like a conveyor belt.

= Mantle Convection current

2. What do you call the process involved in the tectonic movements where the weight of the
uplifted ridge pushes the oceanic crust toward the trench at the subduction zone?

=ridge push

3. The lithospheric plates are believed to be moving slowly. What is the driving force that
facilitates this movement?

=convection current in the mantle.

4. Which of the following statement best describe the causes of convection currents in the
Earth’s mantle?

=tectonic plate movement

5.What do you call the process involved in the tectonic movements where the weight of
subducting plate pull the trailing slab at the subduction zone? *

10. Magma creating current in the mantle to move tectonic plates is called= CONVECTION

He is the proponent of the Continental Drift Theory. = Alfred Wegener

Evidence that Africa was once cold. = Glacial Depths

It describes the slow movement of continents. = Continental Drift

A Greek word which means “All Earth”. = Pangaea

Two similar supercontinents during the Jurassic Period. = Laurasia and Gondwanaland

Reptile found in South America and Africa = Mesosaurus

Mountains similar to those in Greenland and Western Europe = Appalachian

These are the preserved traces/remains of organisms from the past = Fossils

Some of the evidences that support continental drift. = Climate,Coal,Deposit and Rocks

Fossil plants found in Africa, Australia, India, South America, and Antarctica. = Glossopteris

The Glossopteris fossil is found in Australia, Antarctica, India, South Africa, and South America—
all the southern continents. Now, the Glossopteris seed is known to be large and bulky and
therefore could not have drifted or flown across the oceans to a separate continent.

And The evidence for continental drift included the fit of the continents; the distribution of
ancient fossils, rocks, and mountain ranges; and the locations of ancient climatic zones. And A
greek word which means "All Earth" is Pangea. And The landmasses were grouped into a
northern region—Laurasia—consisting of North America and Eurasia, and a southern region—
Gondwana—consisting of South America, Africa, India, Antarctica, and Australia.
