  1. Three (3) Types of Plate Boundary  Convergent Plate Boundaries  Divergent Plate Boundaries  Transform Plate Boundaries
  2. Five (5) Proof of Continental Drift Theory  Fit of the continents  Distribution of fossils in different countries  Ancient Climates with two continents  Similar sequence of rocks at numerous locations  Apparent wandering of Earth’s Polar regions
  3. Two (2) types of body wave  Compressional waves (P-waves)  Shear waves (S-Waves)
  4. Two (2) types of surface waves  Love Waves  Rayleigh Waves
  5. Give at least Three (3) Type of Volcanic Eruption  Hawaiian  Vulcanian  Plinian  Pelean  Vesuvian Part III: ____________ 1 The theory stating that the Earth’s outer mechanical layer, the lithosphere, is divided into large continent-sized plates that are constantly moving. ____________ 2. The rigid, brittle portion of Earth’s interior, and moves as tectonic plates. ____________ 3. The location directly above it on the surface of the earth/ Point on the earth's surface that is directly above the focus, the point and earthquake originates. ____________ 4. Point on the fault where the rupture occurs and the location from which seismic waves are released. ____________ 5. He developed the Continental Drift Theory in 1912 and said that continents move around on Earth’s surface and that they were once joined together as a single supercontinent. ____________ 6. It was a supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. ____________ 7. A sudden and violent shaking of the ground, sometimes causing great destruction, as a result of movements within the earth's crust or volcanic action. ____________ 8. The process of a material that can move and flow may develop convection currents. ____________ 9. There are cracks on the earth where sections of a plate/s are moving in different directions.
