This quiz will be given on Thursday for B and C classes and Friday for D, E, and A classes.
Review your reading "The Theory of Plate Tectonics" and the table we did to go along with it. You could also use the online textbook as well as this quiz. There may be some questions from previous quizzes on this quiz.
Please study the following:
*The theory of plate tectonics
*The three types of plate boundaries and what happens at each one
~Subduction, sea-floor spreading, mid-ocean ridge, rift valley, earthquakes
*Hot Spot
