  3. When the earth ruptures and suddenly releases energy Seismic Movement 100 What is an earthquake?

  4. Waves generated by an earthquake. Seismic Movement 200 What are seismic waves?

  5. First seismic wave to reach a seismograph station. Seismic Movement 300 What is a primary or p -wave?

  6. Seismic body waves that move side to side. Seismic Movement 400 What are secondary or s - waves?

  7. Waves that travels on or near the surface of the earth. These waves can cause extensive damage to buildings. Seismic Movement 500 What are surface waves?

  8. Location where an earthquake occurs and energy is released. Locating an Earthquake 100 What is the focus?

  9. The point on the surface of the earth directly above the focus of an earthquake. Locating an Earthquake 200 What is the epicenter?

  10. Scientists use data recorded from ______________ to figure out where an earthquake occurred. Locating an Earthquake 300 What are seismograph stations?

  11. The term used to describe how three seismograph stations are used to determine an epicenter . Locating an Earthquake 400 What is triangulation?

  12. The reason three seismograph stations are used to triangulate an earthquake. Locating an Earthquake 500 What is accuracy? Three locations are needed to find ONE intersecting point. (circle lab)

  13. The place where plates meet. Down Under! 100 What is a plate boundary?

  14. A warmer less dense plate. Down Under! 200 What is a continental plate?

  15. This dense plate sinks and slides under the continental plate. Down Under! 300 What is an oceanic plate?

  16. Plates float on a flowing, taffy-like, solid upper mantle called _________. Down Under 400 What is the asthenosphere?

  17. A trench or deep valley is formed. Down Under! 500 What is when an oceanic plate moves under another plate ?

  18. When heat moves through liquid or gas. Convection Within 100 What is convection?

  19. The core of the earth heats this substance causing a convection cell to occur. Convection Within 200 What is magma?

  20. The layer in the earth where a convection cell is located. DAILY DOUBLE - Convection Within 300 What is the mantle?

  21. Magma begins to cool as it rises and comes in contact with this layer of the earth. Convection Within 400 What is the crust OR rigid mantle OR Lithosphere?

  22. The liquid outer core of the earth is made from this element. Convection Within 500 What is iron?

  23. A fracture in rock, along which rock on opposite sides of the fracture move. Faults and Boundaries 100 What is a fault?

  24. Place where broken pieces of the lithosphere meet. Faults and Boundaries 200 What is a plate boundary?

  25. A theory that plates float on the asthenosphere and that interactions among the plates are related to earthquakes and volcanic activity. Faults and Boundaries 300 What is plate tectonics?

  26. Faults only exist along plate boundaries. (true or false) Faults and Boundaries 400 What is FALSE?

  27. A mountain like landform that develops when plates separate and new ocean lithosphere is formed. Faults and Boundaries 500 What is a mid-ocean ridge?

  28. FINAL JEOPARDY! The German scientists that proposed the theory of continental drift (Pangaea). Who is Alfred Wegener?
