Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Convergent plate boundaries are areas where crust is destroyed. The crust plunges back into the
mantle, causing it to melt. These boundaries have volcanoes and earthquakes associated with them.
Information can be found in the section Plates Interact at Plate Boundaries.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Alfred Wegener was a German meteorologist. He proposed the theory of continental drift in 1912 by
suggesting that the continents were joined into a single continent at some point. His theory was not
accepted because his explanation for a force behind the movement was discredited by some.
Information can be found in the section Pieces of Earth's Surface Look Like They Once Fit Together
