Here are the matches for Column A and Column B based on the descriptions provided:
-
The rise of hot less dense magma and the fall of cooler, more dense magma in the asthenosphere creates this process:
Match: n. Thermal Convection -
Animal Fossils that were found on several different continents, that could not have swam the ocean to get there:
Match: p. Lystrosaurus & Mesosaurus -
Tropical Plant fossil found in Antarctica that suggests the climate of Antarctica has changed from tropical to arctic!
Match: k. Glossopteris -
The name of the process that creates new ocean crust at the Mid-Ocean Ridge:
Match: m. Sea Floor Spreading -
Wegener's unsupported Theory that the continents were all one big landmass, and then moved apart to present day:
Match: s. Continental Drift Theory -
The name of the Supercontinent:
Match: f. Pangaea -
Plate boundary that collides together:
Match: r. Convergent Boundary -
Plate boundary that separates:
Match: j. Divergent Boundary -
Conservative Plate boundary that doesn't create landforms, but just slides past each other:
Match: h. Transform Boundary -
Two oceanic plates collide, resulting in this string of volcanoes out in the middle of the ocean:
Match: c. Island arc -
Point underground where an Earthquake originates:
Match: l. Focus -
Point on the surface, directly above where the earthquake originated. This is where the magnitude is felt the most:
Match: g. Epicenter -
Theory that explains why the Continents have moved: Convection in the asthenosphere have moved the plates in the lithosphere:
Match: d. The Theory of Plate Tectonics -
In a convergent boundary between two crusts of different densities, the more dense crust will sink down. This is called_____________:
Match: e. Subduction -
When oceanic crusts subduct under another crust, this DEEP landform in the ocean is created. If you flew above it, it would be a dark line in the water:
Match: i. Trench -
Geologist and Naval officer Harry Hess discovered the longest underwater mountain range when he was looking for enemy submarines during World War II. He named it the _________________________:
Match: q. Mid-Ocean Ridge -
A plate boundary that results in Earthquakes is called a _________________ (San Andreas has a famous one...):
Match: t. Fault -
Hawaii was made from one of these, where magma plumes upward through the middle of a plate, instead of seeping out at a plate boundary:
Match: a. Hot spot -
A study of ocean floor rocks, and how the iron and nickel alignment suggest the Earth's poles have reversed several times:
Match: b. Paleomagnetism -
Convergent boundary of two continental crusts (with similar density) uplift to form this landform. Ex: Himalayas and Appalachians:
Match: o. Mountain (non-volcanic)
