What are the points awarded for answering a question about the Plate Tectonic Theory and Continental Drift Theory?

1 answer

The points awarded for answering questions about the Plate Tectonic Theory or Continental Drift Theory can vary depending on the context, such as whether it is a classroom setting, a quiz, or an educational game. Typically, if you are participating in a structured quiz or competition, the scoring system would be defined by the rules of that specific event.

If you're looking for a general idea:

  • Basic Response: 1-2 points for a correct answer that covers fundamental concepts.
  • In-Depth Explanation: 3-5 points for a more comprehensive answer that includes details such as key figures (like Alfred Wegener for Continental Drift) or mechanisms (such as subduction and sea-floor spreading in Plate Tectonics).
  • Application of Concepts: 5+ points if you relate the theories to real-world examples (like earthquakes, mountain-building, or volcanic activity).
