4. $200 The German scientist who suggested the theory of continental drift

5. $200 Who is Alfred Wegener? Scores

6. $400 Name 2 of the 4 pieces of evidence suggesting the continents used to be joined

7. $400 What are…? 1-fossil 2-shape of the continents3-rock/glacial/salt deposits4-alignment of mountain ranges Scores

8. $600 The name for the super continent that existed 250 million years ago

9. $600 What is Pangaea? Scores

10. $800 The main reason geologists did not believe him was because his theory was lacking this

11. $800 What is a satisfactory explanation of the force that pushes or pulls the continents? Scores

12. $1000 This was Wegener’s actual profession(was not a geologist!)

13. $1000 What is a meterologist? Scores

14. $200 These underwater formations form the largest mountain chain in the world

15. $200 What are midocean ridges? Scores

16. Daily Double

17. $400 At midocean ridges, lava erupts from the __________ and runs the length of a ridge

18. $400 What is the rift valley? Scores

19. $600 The age of the rocks on the ocean floor get progressively ____________ the further away from the mid-ocean ridge.

20. $600 What is older? Scores

21. $800 The process of the oceanic plates moving away from the midocean ridges is known as this

22. $800 What is sea-floor spreading? Scores

23. $1000 Scientists are able to observe “stripes” in the ocean floor because these minerals freeze in different directions when the polarity of the planet changes.

24. $1000 What is magnetite or iron? Scores

25. $200 The process in which crust plunges back into the Earth is called this

26. $200 What is subduction? Scores

27. $400 Deep, V-shaped canyons that occur at areas of subduction

28. $400 What are trenches? Scores

29. $600 This is why oceanic crust is subducted under continental crust (also why older oceanic crust is subducted under newer crust)

30. $600 What is that it is more dense? Scores

31. $800 As crust is subducted, it melts into magma which may rise and eventually form these

32. $800 What are volcanoes? Scores

33. $1000 This is the deepest trench in the world

34. $1000 What is the Marianas trench? Scores

35. $200 There are these many major lithospheric plates

36. $200 What is 7? Scores

37. $400 This is the largest lithospheric plate

38. $400 What is the Pacific plate? Scores

39. Daily Double

40. $600 This method of heat transfer is the driving force behind the plate movement

41. $600 What are convection currents? Scores

42. $800 The Hawaiian Islands were formed by this

43. $800 What is a hot spot? Scores

44. $1000 This type of activity is found at all plate boundaries

45. $1000 What is earthquake (seismic) activity? Scores

46. $200 This is the type of boundary where midocean ridges form

47. $200 What are divergent boundaries? Scores

48. $400 The type of boundary formed by a lateral fault (plates grinding past each other in a horizontal direction)

49. $400 What is a transform boundary? Scores

50. $600 Los Angeles is found on this plate
