**Earth Science: Plate Tectonics Examination** This section of the exam tests knowledge related to plate tectonics theory and associated geological phenomena. Here are the questions along with available answer choices. --- **17. Pangaea, the supercontinent existed. Was plate tectonics theory needed to prove this fact?** a. Yes b. No --- **18.

Who was Alfred Wegener?** a. a German geologist b. a French glaciologist c. a German atmospheric scientist d. a British Cartographer --- **20. What is "Convection" and how does it relate to Plate Tectonics?** a. a type of oven and it is an analogy to plates rising because of heat b. a process of heat movement in the mantle and it may help move the plates c. It is the reason magnetism happens and it is magnetism that moves the plates d. a process of heat in the atmosphere and it helps move the plates --- **21. What are "Subduction Trenches"?** a. they are dug to look for magnetic reversals b. these are at the midocean ridge c. they are linear depressions on the seafloor where ocean plates sink d. they are a curved, but connected series of lava tubes at the spreading center --- **22. Which scientist(s) used an analogy of a torn newspaper being put back together to read?** a. Harry Hess b. Albert Einstein c. Vine and Mathews d. Alfred Wegener --- **23. One of the reasons that seafloor spreading was accepted as fact was __________.** a. because midocean ridges were present b. because of a deep sea drilling program involving a ship called the Glomar Challenger c. the seafloor is much older than the continents on either side of the oceans d. that if there was not a deep sea spreading then the oceans would not be able to keep their present shapes from when earth formed --- These questions aim to assess your understanding of foundational concepts in plate tectonics, the historical context, and the scientific principles that underpin our current understanding of Earth's geological processes.
