Answer the assignment questions using the World Geology map in this lesson and/or the earth's lithospheric plates map in the assignment document. You can also do an Internet keyword search for U.S. Geological Survey Plates of the Earth Map to find some really good images that can be used as a reference for this assignment.

1. Wegener formed the theory of continental drift in 1912. What prevented research of the ocean floor, paleomagnetism, and earthquakes at that time?

2. If many different observations can all be explained by the same theory, does that make the theory true? Does it make the theory more likely? Explain your answer.

3. What evidence is there to suggest that the Earth is composed of tectonic plates?

4. What evidence is there to suggest that tectonic plates move?

5. Select Topography and Major Plates on the World Geology map. Describe the topography at the boundaries between the following pairs of plates: South American and Nazca, Indian and Eurasian, and Pacific and North American.

6. Observe the border between the Indian plate and the Somali plate. Do you see the same landforms as at the boundary between the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate? Explain.

7. Select Earthquakes and Major Plates on the World Geology map and observe earthquake activity around the South American plate. Based on your observations, what can you conclude about lithospheric motion of the South American plate with the Nazca plate and the African plate? Explain your answer.

8. How certain do you feel that the theory of plate tectonics is correct? What evidence would you use to support your opinion?

which of the following is a term for the process of rock being broken down into pieces by wind or moving water?

A: Deposition
B: Compaction
C: Weathering
D: Cementation

Electric Charge (guided inquiry)
Purpose: To show how matter becomes charged by induction
Materials: comb, sink with working faucet

Predict: Predict what you think will happen to the charges of the comb and water if the comb comes in contact with the water. Record your hypothesis before following the directions below to carry out the lab experiment. The charges would attract. How and why is what I don’t know.
Directions:
1. Turn on a faucet just enough to allow a thin stream of water to flow.
2. Have a student volunteer-run a comb through his/ her hair a few times.
3. Observe. Tell the student to hold the comb near, but not touching, the stream of water.
4. Answer all questions below in complete sentences, using the R.A.C.E. strategy.
Ask and record your findings: What do you observe? Describe. I observed the stream of water bend toward the comb. I gave the comb electric charge by passing a comb through my sister’s hair and that allowed the comb to bend the stream of water.


Ask and record your findings: What does this indicate (show)? Explain. I

Written response please read all and answer in complete sentences will give BRAINLIEST
Observe:
1. To test students’ predictions, have the student volunteer pass the comb through the water.
2. Then have them move the comb so that it is near but not touching the water.
Ask and record your findings: What do you observe? Describe. WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST

Hi! Can you guys help me on my Re-do test I don’t want to fail. Ten points plus Brainliest if all are correct. Thanks!

You are a light ray and have just struck a mirror.

Use what you have learned about light and explain what will happen to you as you strike the mirror.

Look at the picture below to answer. If u answer correctly i will mark you as brainliest! To answer the question use a PERIODIC TABLE OF THE ELEMENTS.

Please help me with my science work

Can something move horizontally and vertically at the same time? Yes! Why? No! Why not?

Which of the following statement is true?

b.Energy lost transforms to heat energy
c.Energy is never wasted
d.Energy unused is recycled in the atmosphere.

this is due in 45 minutes :,)
