PLSSS ANSWER ALL SIX I GIVE 40 points Now that you have learned about plate tectonics, you should be able to answer the following focus questions:

1. How was the theory of plate tectonics developed?

2. What evidence supports the theory of plate tectonics

3.Where are the tectonic plates located on Earth?

4. How do the tectonic plates interact?

5. How do the tectonic plate interactions build mountains and cause volcanic
eruptions?

6.How do the tectonic plate interactions cause earthquakes?

when Alfred Wegener proposed his theory of "continental drift."

Evidence from fossils, glaciers, and complementary coastlines helps reveal how the plates once fit together

The outermost part of Earth's structure is known as the lithosphere. The lithosphere consists of the crust and small portion of the upper mantle.

They can move toward one another, or converge; move away from one another, or diverge; or slide past one another, a movement known as transform motion

he crust on the plate that is pushed under is subjected to the high temperatures of the mantle below and the crust melts

Tectonic earthquakes occur at plate tectonic boundaries. Tectonic plates are constantly moving slowly, but sometimes friction between them causes them lock together and become unable to move The waves of released energy move through the Earth's crust and cause the shaking we feel at an earthquake site.

Explanation:

igneous rocks which formed by the crystallization of magma at the surface of the earth called extrusive rocks. they are characterized by fine-grained textures because the rapid cooling at or near the surface did not provide enough time for large crystals to grow.
