Name two types of evidence for continental drift and give examples of each type?
Plate tectonics and Pangaea you get evidence from ancient climate zones, land features, and fossils
What two ideas did plate tectonics combine?
Plate tectonics combines continental drift and seafloor spreading theories, presenting the latter as a reason for the former.
What is it called when two plates cause a volcanic eruption?
Plate tectonics
What can form where two plates converge?
when two plates converge it is called plate tectonics?
Contrast the continents of Venus with those of Earth?
Venus only has two continents and they occupy about 8 percent of the surface. Earth's continents occupies about 25 percent of the surface. Venus also does not have any evidence of plate tectonics.
How can you define plate tectonics not plate tectonics theory?
But plate tectonics is the theory which suggests that the Earth's crust is made up of solid plates moving relative to each other. Plate tectonics and the plate tectonics theory aren't really two separate things. However plates are pieces of the Earth's crust which are moving.
Theory that pieces of earths lithosphere are in constant motion driven by convection currents in the mantle?
Two words - plate tectonics - describe the theory that the surface of the earth is in constant motion.
What are two bad things that can happen as a result of plate tectonics how did plate tectonics cause these events?
Tidal waves, Earthquakes, landslides

What are the two main driving forces of the rock cycle-?
Denudation and Volcanism.
What is it called when two plates cause a volcanic eruption?
Plate tectonics
What is a fault in plate tectonics?
A fault in plate tectonics is the line where two plates come together. A well-known and very visible example of this is the San Andreas fault in California.
What does the Ring of fire have to do with the plate tectonics?
The "Ring of Fire" refers to a string of volcanoes, which create a ring in the Pacific. The relevance to plate tectonics, is that volcanoes are created by two plates coming together and pushing up on each other to create the volcano. The Ring of Fire is evidence of high plate tectonic movement in that particular area and outlines where the plates in that area come together.
What are the two major forces that shape and reshape earth and why?
volcanism and plate tectonics
Define and relate the following to the plate tectonics theory?
There are 2 tectonics theories namely: divergent boundary and subduction zone. The boundary of the plate tectonics where two plates are placed is called divergent boundary while the subduction zone is a convergent boundary where in one plate is subducted on another.
How does continental drift support plate tectonics?
continental drift and plate tectonics are two side of a coin. As the continents are interlinked with the plates; so as the plate moved due to conviction current the continents also tends to move causing continental drift. Moment of plates due to conviction current or due to the adjacent plate is called plate tectonics.
