Vocabulary100This is the thinnest least dense layer of Earth
Vocabulary200The description of Continental-continental collision
What is when a continental plate collides with another continental plate?
Vocabulary400The boundary where two plates scrape past each other.
Vocabulary500Scientists think that this is the main driving force of plate tectonics.
Earth has several layers100Earth's layers from the center to the surface.
Earth has several layers200One of these could best be used to model Earth's layers?A. a peach pit B. the skin of a peach C. an eggshell D. a hard-boiled egg
Earth has several layers300The layers of the Earth from coolest to hottest.
Earth has several layers400The difference in composition of the Earth’s layers.
What is the crust is made of cool rock, the mantle is made of heated softer rock, the outer core is molten or hot liquid metals and the inner core is solid metal?
Earth has several layers500Earth’s layers from most dense to least dense.
Continents change position over time100The name that Wegener gave the land mass that was believed to be all of the current continents joined together.
Continents change position over time200Wegener’s hypothesis of Continental Drift states this.
What is Earth’s continents were once in a single landmass and gradually moved apart
Daily Double!!! Continents change position over time300 Wegener used these three facts to support his theory of continental drift.
What is (1)Mesosaurus fossils found only in Brazil and West Africa,(2) rock formations in Brazil match those in western Africa; limestone formations in the Appalachian mountains match those the Highlands of Scotland,and (3) fossils of tropical plants are found in Greenland; rocks in South Africa were scratched by sheets of ice?
Continents change position over time400The discovery of these helped scientists prove Wegener’s hypothesis of Continental drift correct.
Continents change position over time500Scientists combined Wegener’s hypothesis of Continental Drift and mapping of the sea floor to develop this.
Plates move apart100The name of the boundary where plates move apart.
Plates move apart 200At a mid-ocean ridge, the pattern formed by magnetic mineralsA) is randomly arranged at the ridge B) shows that hot spots in Earth's mantle cause volcanoes to formC) is the same on either side of the ridgeD) is older along mid-ocean ridges and younger near ocean trenches
Plates move apart300This is why scientists believe that the Earth’s magnetic poles have changed several times over the history of the Earth.
What is the rock on both sides of a mid-ocean ridge or rift valley aligns with the poles then switches direction of polarity several times as you move further away from the ridge?
Plates move apart400This is how hot spots can be used to track plate movement.
What is the hot spot stays in the same spot while the plate moves which creates a chain of volcanic islands?
Plates move apart500The names of three different types of boundaries and what they do.
What is 1) Divergent boundary where plates move apart2) convergent boundary where plates come together 3) Transform boundary where plates scrape past each other?
Plates converge and scrape past each other100This is called Continental-Continental collision and an example of what it forms.
What is two continental plates colliding, crumpling and folding the rock in between. The Alps and Himalayas are examples of this.
Plates converge and scrape past each other200The type of plates that are colliding at D in the diagram below.
Plates converge and scrape past each other300This is the name of the boundary at A and what happens at that boundary
What is transform boundary where plates slide past each other and crust is neither created nor destroyed?
Plates converge and scrape past each other400This happens when an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide.(name the collision and give an example of what forms there)
What is oceanic-continental collision? It forms deep ocean trenches and costal mountains.
