The Hawaiian Islands are chain of volcanic islands nearly 2000 miles away from the nearest plate boundary. At which location does the movement of tectonic plates form isolated volcanic islands such as Hawaii?subduction zonedivergent boundaryhot spottransform boundary_______________As early as the 1600s, scientists noticed that the continents appeared to fit together like puzzle pieces. The idea that the continents were once together and had drifted apart was not widely accepted. In the 1940s, technology used on submarines led to evidence of continental movement. This radar technology allowed the scientists to do which of these?to explain the causes of continental movementto determine fossil evidence of continental driftto reject theories of continental driftto prevent further movement of continents_________________________________When an earthquake occurs, the speed of the seismic waves changes as they what?are pulled by the force of gravity.lose energy to surrounding rocks.reflect off of boundaries.move through different materials.__________________________The continental crust floats on top of the mantle because the crust is _____.made up of oxygen which is a light element.made of a liquid material.separated from the mantle by a layer of water.____________________________________Which best describes the mantle of Earth?a thin layer that is located on the surfacea solid layer made of iron and nickelthe largest layer between the crust and outer corethe smallest layer that is made up of molten rock15 points.
