Mttc Integrated Science Secondary (Earth And Space Sciences) Elaborated Questions And Answers Theory of Plate Tectonics - CORRECT ANSWER-A theory stating that Earth's lithosphere is broken into huge plates that move and change in size over time - explains the process of continental drift - theory is a fusion on the theories of continental drift and seafloor spreading - continents are not floating on the ocean, rather they are rooted What are the 10 major plates of the Earth's lithos...

Describe what happens when two tectonic plates collide along a subduction zone. correct answers One plates moves under another and sinks into Earth's mantle. A trench may be formed Explain how subduction leads to volcanic activity correct answers One plate is pushed down and melted as molten material/ magma rises to the surface near the zone What areas exhibit island arcs correct answers Coast of Asia (Philippines, Ryukyu, Japan, Kuril, and Aleutian) What areas exhibit a growing nonvol...

What does plate tectonics refer to? correct answers It is a theory explaining the movement of the Earth's crust -Earth's crust is not solid but rather a bunch of pieces (or 'plates') that move on the surface of the Earth. Similar to cracked egg shell. We need all three boundary types for plates to move around Earth's surface: -Convection currents -- drives the movement -Mid-ocean ridge -- spreading center Subduction zones -- oceanic trench site of crust destruction What is the maj...
