Grade 6 gradeScience subjectFree quiz

Sixth-grade Earth's history and tectonics links Earth's layers to moving plates. The crust and rigid uppermost mantle form plates that collide, pull apart, or slide. Mountains, earthquakes, volcanoes, and matching fossils on separated coasts are evidence. The core is Earth's center; plates do not float on the inner core.

What you practice

These are the Grade 6 Earth's History & Tectonics skills this quiz is built around.

Name crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core in order.
Describe convergent, divergent, and transform plate motions in student language.
Use fossils, earthquakes, or mountain belts as evidence of plate motion.

A useful tip

Plates move on a soft part of the mantle, not on the inner core. Colliding continents can pile crust into mountains. Matching fossils on Africa and South America support a former land connection.
