  2. $100 Question from H1 The least dense and solid portion of the Earth

  3. $100 Answer from H1 What is the crust?

  4. $200 Question from H1 The partially liquid middle layer of the Earth. Like the white part of an egg.

  5. $200 Answer from H1 What is the mantle?

  6. $300 Question from H1 This part contains the crust and upper part of the mantle.

  7. $300 Answer from H1 What is the lithosphere?

  8. $400 Question from H1 These two layers are made from the mantle. The first is liquid like and the second is more solid.

  9. $400 Answer from H1 What is the asthenosphere and mesosphere? (Must be in that order)

  10. $500 Question from H1 Describe the core, both parts. (This answer is not in the traditional Jeopardy format.)

  11. $500 Answer from H1 They are the densest parts of the Earth. The outer core is liquid and the inner core is solid and mostly made out of iron.

  12. $100 Question from H2 These are extremely fine pieces of rock that are made in explosive volcanic eruptions.

  13. $100 Answer from H2 What is ash?

  14. $200 Question from H2 These are types of pyroclastic materials that are made when magma cools in the air.

  15. $200 Answer from H2 What are lapilli and volcanic bombs?

  16. $300 Question from H2 These are large chunks of the mountainside that are blown away from the site in an eruption.

  17. $300 Answer from H2 What are volcanic blocks?

  18. $400 Question from H2 This type of lava forms underwater.

  19. $400 Answer from H2 What is pillow lava?

  20. $500 Question from H2 Ouch! This type of lava is sharp and jagged.

  21. $500 Answer from H2 What is Aa?

  22. $100 Question from H3 What occurs when two plates collide.

  23. $100 Answer from H3 What is a convergent boundary?

  24. $200 Question from H3 When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, this process occurs and this reason.

  25. $200 Answer from H3 What is subduction because the oceanic plate is more dense?

  26. $300 Question from H3 The major type of this boundary exists near California and causes major earthquakes to happen there.

  27. $300 Answer from H3 What is a transform boundary?

  28. $400 Question from H3 Seafloor spreading and midocean ridges occur at this type of boundary.

  29. $400 Answer from H3 What is a divergent boundary?

  30. $500 Question from H3 This type of boundary is creating the Himalayan Mountains. Be specific.

  31. $500 Answer from H3 What is a continental-continental convergent boundary?

  32. $100 Question from H4 At one point all the continents formed one land mass called this.

  33. $100 Answer from H4 What is Pangaea?

  34. $200 Question from H4 After Pangaea began to split apart, two large continents were formed.

  35. $200 Answer from H4 What are Gondwana and Laurasia?

  36. $300 Question from H4 This is how seafloor spreading creates continental drift.

  37. $300 Answer from H4 What is by adding new crust at a midocean ridge and pushing the old crust further away.

  38. $400 Question from H4 Continental drift also explains what curiosity about some fossils in the southern hemisphere.

  39. $400 Answer from H4 What is how the same fossil plants and animals can appear on continents that are separated by thousands of miles of ocean?

  40. $500 Question from H4 Another piece of evidence for seafloor spreading and continental drift.

  41. $500 Answer from H4 What is the magnetic reversals in rock on the ocean floor?

  42. $100 Question from H5 In its last eruption, Mt. St. Helens went through what kind of eruption?

  43. $100 Answer from H5 What is explosive?

  44. $200 Question from H5 These types of eruptions are the most common and occur where in the world.

  45. $200 Answer from H5 What is nonexplosive and at midocean ridges?

  46. $300 Question from H5 What two chemicals will make a magma more explosive?

  47. $300 Answer from H5 What is water and silicon?

  48. $400 Question from H5 This type of eruption occurred most recently at Yellowstone and this type of eruption of the Yellowstone volcano has been the most destructive.

  49. $400 Answer from H5 What is nonexplosive and explosive? (Must be in that order.)

  50. $500 Question from H5 Magma can make an eruption be explosive by doing what two things.
