Convection in this layer of the earth is responsible for forces driving plate 1) crust 2) inner core 3) mantle 4) outer core 5) lithosphere which of these is not a line of evidence in support of plate tectonics or continental drift? 1) symmetrical pattern of magnetic reversals recorded as alternating stripes in the ocean crust the coastlines of the continents look as if they could fit together like a jigsav 2) puzzle 3) tracks of hot spots, such as the hawaiian island-emperor seamont chain 4) data obtained from gps (global positioning system) satellites 5) different rock types and mountain belts on opposite sides of the atlantic ocean which location corresponds to an oceanic-continental subduction zone? a c. o1) a 2) b o3) c 4) d 5) e which tectonic block diagram represents a convergent plate boundary? b plate plate sthanosphere 1) a 2) b 3) c which location corresponds to an oceanic ridge spreading center? d c. 1) a 2) b 3) c 4) d 5) e question 1 (2 points) saved if new crust is continually being produced at ocean ridges, why is the earth's crust not increasing in size? 1) new crust is destroyed at convergent plate boundaries faster than it is produced. old crust is created at divergent plate boundaries so that new crust is 2) destroyed at subduction zones. 3) old crust is destroyed at convergent plate boundaries to produce a balance. 4) new crust is created and destroyed at ocean ridges only. the earth's crust is increasing in size. crust is destroyed faster than it is created. the earth's crust is decreasing in 5) size.
