Bit is based on the idea that all the present continents were one supercontinent
Cit does not require scientists to support the notion that Earth’s plates can move
Done day, Earth will have one large land mass again

Select one:

AA place where one plate is pushed down under another, such that it melts into the mantle
BA place where two plates collide and mountains form

Answer 1


B) It is younger near the center and older near the continents.

Explanation:

In nature, oceanic plates are more responsive to subduction as they get older. Because of this relationship between age and subduction potential, the very little ocean floor is older than 125 million years and nearly none of it is older than 200 million years.

Answer 2


B) It is based on the idea that all the present continents were one  supercontinent

Explanation:

The device for the breakup of Pangea is now described in articles of plate tectonics preferably than Wegener's outmoded theory of continental drift, which clearly said that Earth's continents were once connected together into the supercontinent Pangea that remained for most of the geologic time.

Answer 3


A) A place where one plate is pushed down under another, such that it melts into the mantle

Explanation:

A subduction zone is the largest wreck scene on Earth. These lines indicate the crash within two of the planet's tectonic plates. The plates are pieces of crust that slowly move across the planet's cover over millions of years. Where two tectonic plates meet, if one or both of the plates are oceanic lithosphere, a subduction zone will form. An oceanic plate will soak back into the mantle. Remember, oceanic plates are made from mantle material at midocean ranges.
