Answer 1

A detailed explanation of various tectonic plate concepts

Step-by-step explanation:

12. The zone where two plates collide is called a convergent boundary.

13. The formation of the San Andreas fault is a result of a transform boundary.

14. If you visit a place along converging plates in the Pacific, you should not expect to see rift valleys.

15. When two tectonic plates collide, the oceanic crust usually undergoes subduction.

16. The lithosphere is made up of the crust and the upper mantle.

17. According to the plate tectonics theory, the uppermost mantle along with the overlying crust behaves as a strong, rigid layer.

18. The movement of lithospheric plates is facilitated by the asthenosphere.

19. The German meteorologist who proposed the continental drift theory in 1912 was Alfred Wegener.

20. The word that means "ALL EARTH" in Greek is Pangea.

21. The scientists who proposed the theory of seafloor spreading in the early 1960s were Harry Hess and Robert Dietz.

22. Scientists believe that the core is responsible for Earth's magnetic field.

23. Tectonic plate movement is driven by convection currents.

24. Compared to ocean crust near deep-sea trenches, crust near ocean ridges is younger.

25. The rising of hot magma near the core towards the surface forms volcanoes.
