Question

1.) Wegener's original name for the supercontinent was _______.
2.) When two tectonic plates converge and one slips under the other, a _______ zone is formed.
3.) The movement of a tectonic plate away from a mid-ocean ridge can be measured by the orientation of the _______ field.
4.) The process of heating the mantle from the core of the earth causes expansion and movement of material in a _______ cell, which is partly responsible for the movement of continents.
5.) Gravity is also responsible for the movement of continents in two ways: through _______ at subduction zones as gravity drags a plate downward, and through _______ as gravity pushes plates downslope, away from the center.
6.) When two opposing plates meet and scrape against one another at a fault, stress is created when the two moving plates catch or stick together. As this stress is released, a/an _______ occurs.
7.) The Ring of Fire is a region of intense volcanic and seismic activity that borders the _______ Plate.

Answer 1

The given Fill in the Blanks can be answered as below:

Explanation:

1) Wegener's original name for the Super-Continent was Pangea.

2) When two tectonic plates converge and one slips under the other,a Subduction zone is formed.

3) The movement of a tectonic plate away from a mid-ocean ridge can be measured by the orientation of Earth's Magnetic field.

4) The process of heating the mantle from the core of the earth causes expansion and movement of material in a Mantle Convection cell,which is partly responsible for the movement of continents.

5) Gravity is also responsible for the movement of continents in two ways: through Oceanic Lithosphere at subduction zones as gravity drags a plate downward,and through the Mantle as gravity pushes plates downslope,away from the center.

6) When two opposing plates meet and scrape against one another at a fault,stress is created when two moving plates catch or stick together.As this stress is released,a/an Earthquake occurs.

7) The Ring of Fire is a region of intense volcanic and seismic activity that borders the Pacific Basin.

Answer 2

The answers have been written below.

Explanation:

1) Pangea

2) Subduction zone

3) Earth's Magnetic field

4) Mantle Convection cell

5) Oceanic Lithosphere; Mantle

6) Earthquake

7) Pacific Plate

• The subduction zone is the part of the Earth's crust that is the marking point of the tectonic plates.
• Earth's magnetic field is the magnetic field that is created from the interior part of the earth towards space.
• An earthquake is a natural disaster which is the result of the movement of the tectonic plates.
