Plate Tectonics Quiz
Plate Tectonics Quiz takes you beneath the surface, literally. In 1977, scientists discovered hydrothermal vents at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, oozing superheated water rich with minerals. What shocked them wasn’t just the temperature or chemistry; it was the vibrant life thriving there without sunlight. These vents exist because of tectonic activity at mid-ocean ridges, proving how plate movement shapes life in unexpected ways. The tectonic plates quiz explores the invisible forces beneath our feet, sometimes powerful enough to rearrange continents. It’s an earth science quiz that’s more about movement than memorization, and it’s full of the kind of facts that shift your understanding, like the plates themselves.
