Plate Boundaries

What happens there and where on Earth do we find them?

What does the Theory of Plate Tectonics Say?

1) The planet’s surface is composed of many different sections that randomly float around on water below the earth’s crust

2) The planet’s surface is composed of many different sections that move around on the partially molten Asthenosphere.

3) The moon’s gravity causes different sections of the earth’s crust to move around—thus changing the positions of the land masses.

4) None of these

Earth’s Structure

What is the force that makes the plates move?

1) Wind from earth’s atmosphere.2) Conduction of heat from earth’s interior3) Convection of heat from earth’s interior4) Gravity of the Moon and Sun5) The rotation of the earth/Coriolis effect
