FINAL JEOPARDY
Plate Tectonics II $ 200
What landform is created
when two continents
collide?
ANSWER:
mountains
Plate Tectonics II $400
How do the plates move at
a divergent boundary?
ANSWER:
Move away from each other
Plate Tectonics II $600
Subduction is associated
with which part of the
ocean floor?
ANSWER:
Trench
Plate Tectonics II $800
When two oceanic plates
collide, which oceanic
plate is subducted? WHY?
ANSWER:
More dense is subducted,
because it is older.

ANSWER:
sandstone
Rocks $400
What is the name of an organic
sedimentary rock that is made
from ancient plant material?
ANSWER:

Continental Drift $200
What is the name of the super
continent that existed 250
million years ago?
ANSWER:
Pangaea
Continental Drift $400
Who came up with the
theory of Continental Drift?
ANSWER:
Alfred Wegener
Continental Drift $600
How do coal deposits found
in Antarctica support the
theory of Continental Drift?
ANSWER:
Coal forms in tropical areas,
therefore Antarctica must have
been located closer to the
equator at one time.
Continental Drift $800

million years ago and continues
to split apart the continents
today?
ANSWER:
Atlantic Ocean

Final Jeopardy
Folded mountains usually form at
the edge of tectonic plates.
How can you explain folded
mountain ranges located in the
middle of continents?
ANSWER:
These interior mountains must
have one time been on the edge
of a plate boundary that
collided with another plate and
fused together.
