Question
which of the following can be used as evidence to show that earths tectonic plates and continents are continually moving? (choose 2)
earthquakes
volcanoes
ocean currents
wind currents
Brief Explanations
- Earthquakes occur due to the movement of tectonic plates as they interact (collide, slide, or move apart), releasing energy.
- Volcanoes often form at plate boundaries (or hotspots related to plate movement) where magma rises due to plate motion.
- Ocean currents are driven by factors like wind, temperature, and salinity, not plate movement.
- Wind currents are due to atmospheric pressure differences, unrelated to tectonic plates. So the two correct options are Earthquakes and Volcanoes.
