Answer 2

PLEASE HELP

Answer 3

these are a considerable amount of questions, give me some time and I'll see which ones I can help you with...
meanwhile, most of the questions are common sense, so what do you think some answers are?

Answer 4

for the first one... molten rock = lava
what do you think when you think lava?

Answer 5

hot and dangerous ? im not sure I suck and science ..
?

Answer 6

what does lava come out of?

Answer 7

at *

Answer 8

volcanoes??
Hot spot

Answer 9

volcanoes is correct :)

Answer 10

I feel like im in kindergarten.;)

Answer 11

but isn't a volcano formed by a hot spot ?

Answer 12

u there ??

Answer 13

now for the second one, a convergent boundary is when a plate of earth's crust sinks under another, like a puzzle piece that doesn't fit, so it ends up with a dip or "ridge" so out of the options of
> an ocean ridge
> an aperture
> a rill
> an earthquake
what do you think?

Answer 14

A?

Answer 15

yup :)

Answer 16

im not sure >.<

Answer 17

now for 3...
3. The theory of plate tectonics states that the earth’s surface is __________.
> one solid piece
> broken into many pieces
> mostly covered in water
> very thick
have you been taught the theory?
I'd like to think of earth as a giant shifting puzzle that's missing some pieces so it doesn't exactly fit... so what do you think?

Answer 18

c?
because half of the maintains are covered by the water

Answer 19

mountains *

Answer 20

it is true that earth's surface is covered in water
but the question is asking what "the theory of plate tectonics states"
which was what I was trying to hint by saying
"I'd like to think of earth as a giant shifting puzzle that's missing some pieces so it doesn't exactly fit..."

Answer 21

b broken into pieces

Answer 22

u actually make science easier I wish u where my teacher :)

Answer 23

so for 4. Plate tectonics explains which of the following?
> mudslides (falling rocks)
> tornadoes (spinning air)
> ocean currents (moving water)
> trenches (dips in earth's crust)
now that you kind of understand the theory of plate tectonics,
think of how puzzle pieces overlap each other when they don't fit, they make dips or ridges right?
I put an easier to understand synonym to help.
which do you think it is then?

Answer 24

@armine you still there?

Answer 25

5. Alfred Wegener suggested that earth’s continents are moving. Which evidence supports this theory?
> different types of of rocks on opposite coasts
> close geometric correspondence of continental coastlines
> revolution of the Earth
> similarities in human fossils
option one, different rocks in different places doesn't prove anything
option two, means that the shapes of the continents fit together like a puzzle piece
option three, well the earth spins every day...
option four, humans are everywhere

you can use process of elimination or you can think like this:
so if you take two puzzle pieces that fit each other and take them away, they still keep their shape right?

Answer 26

6. What forms when the earth’s plates slide past each other?
> a volcano
> a glacier
> an ocean mountain
> an earthquake
try thinking about it this way, if you take two rough surfaces like sandpaper and rub them against each other, it doesn't move smoothly doesn't it? It would move jerkily.
which of the options do you think involves such movement?

Answer 27

yeah I am sorry my computer shut down and it wasn't coming up

Answer 28

it's alright :)

Answer 29

so number 4 is I think c or d im not really sure but c makes more sense to me

Answer 30

ocean currents are mainly affected by the gravitational pull from the moon, not the movement of earth's crust

Answer 31

so its c

Answer 32

nope because the question is asking what the moving of earth's crust causes.
and the moving of earth's crust causes dips, ridges, or trenches.

Answer 33

ok I got its d?
right >.<
???

Answer 34

yep :)

Answer 35

ok
so for number 5
its B

Answer 36

yep :)

Answer 37

and number 6 its D

Answer 38

yes :)

Answer 39

7. How did Wegener explain the fact that ancient horse fossils showed up on different continents?
> The horses swam between the two continents.
> The continents were at one time joined together.
> The fossils were moved by humans.
> The fossils must be of different species.
and this one is kind of the same concept as question 5

Answer 40

and 7 is B??

Answer 41

yes :D

Answer 42

and 8 is B??

Answer 43

right ?

Answer 44

yes :D yay

Answer 45

and 9 is B?
volcanic islands

Answer 46

yep :)

Answer 47

I am not sure about 10 but im guessing its A???

Answer 48

:0

Answer 49

is it ?

:/

Answer 50

I'll go check, cause I don't know either lol :P

Answer 51

lol

Answer 52

yeah, I think it's A for 10 :)

Answer 53

number 11 is confusing meh :0 cuz I think.
isn't It the top part of the earth surfaces that drive the movements of the surface ??? so its like D
???

Answer 54

what drives the movement would be the part right below where the movement is happening

Answer 55

so its c since its below the surface ?

Answer 56

yep :)

Answer 57

u could see the diagram right??

Answer 58

yep :)

Answer 59

and for number 12 the top surface is called ?? the cryosphere ??

Answer 60

wait isn't is the curst >>???

Answer 61

crust*

Answer 62

it's the crust lol I've been calling it that for the previous questions haven't I?

Answer 63

oh lol yeah

Answer 64

u should be a tutor
:)

Answer 65

lol I have no patience in real life, I would have rug your neck by now if we were talking in person :P
for 13...
ever had that moment when you're pushing or pull on a stuck door with all your might and then all of a sudden it jerks free and you trip over?

Answer 66

yeah lol ur funny

Answer 67

I wish u were my best friend

Answer 68

so number 13 is D??
right

Answer 69

yup :)

Answer 70

lol I just realized that I put this question in math lol

Answer 71

haha yeah, but you probably wouldn't have gotten it answered if you had put it anywhere else :P most people on this site just do math.

Answer 72

oh sorry for making u waste a lot of ur time
u really have helped me ...
my teacher doesn't explain anything
she just post the things online and then I have to do it

im homeschooled

Answer 73

I hate it .. but my sister loves it

Answer 74

ah, I see. I don't mind procrastinating on my homework to help people out :P
and you're more than welcome to ask me more questions in the future :)

Answer 75

do u go to regular school ???

Answer 76

yep :) but I'm mostly just the nerd in the corner lol

Answer 77

Im not a nerd but I have a lot of friend that are nerd tho they don't help others

Answer 78

Well I suppose I've learned to take example from the best of all nerds ;)

Answer 79

yeah I wish I was a nerd

Answer 80

what is ur fav book ??

Answer 81

what does it look like? lol
harry potter

Answer 82

how old are you?

Answer 83

mines the mortal instruments <3

Answer 84

im 14

Answer 85

how old do I look like ??

Answer 86

idk teenager :P
I was wondering because I had learned the plate tectonic stuff in 8th grade

Answer 87

lol I did not play attention to anything in 8th

Answer 88

I thought I hadn't either until I looked at the questions on this site and realized just how much I actually learned :P

Answer 89

well ur smart that is the difference

Answer 90

ok then talk to u later BYE thank you for helping you really helped me a lot

Answer 91

your welcome :) and you're more than welcome to ask me more questions in the future

Answer 92

THANK YOU very much

Answer 93

Please post the question in correct section.

Answer 94

and if you read in the comments @goformit100 we've already discussed this

Answer 95

"lol I just realized that I put this question in math lol "
"haha yeah, but you probably wouldn't have gotten it answered if you had put it anywhere else :P most people on this site just do math."
