Volcanic
Tectonic
Prehistoric
Inside the earth
100
the name of molten rock before it comes to the surface
magma
100
was the name of the first super continent
Pangea
100
the era of dinosaurs
Mesozoic
100
Is what we are standing on
the crust
200
these are the two types of volcanoes found on the earth
shield strato
200
plate tectonics is defined as
The motion of solid plates on top of the Earth's mantle
200
the most resent of the three latest eras
Cenozoic
200
is like hot fudge
the mantle
300
On this planet the highest volcano and mountain in the solar system is found extra 100 points if you can remember the name
Mars Olympus Mons
300
Is the first clue that suggested to scientist's that the Earth's crust is not static
The continents appear to fit together
300
This era has six periods and its beginning came before life had evolved on land
What is the Paleozoic
300
generates the earth's magnetic field and comes in two parts
the core
400
Is the reason why shield volcanoes are broad and flat
low viscosity lava, i.e it is runny and flows down the slope of the volcano making a flat warrior's shield like profile
400
Are two of the three types of plate movement
Divergent Convergent Transform
400
The period modern humans evolved in (also it is really hard to say)
What is the Quaternary
400
the technical name of the Earth's crust and the top of the upper mantel
the lithosphere
500
This is the name of the convergent plate motion that allows magma pockets to form
Subduction
500
Is the remains of a larger plate now subducting under the edge of North America's west coast
Juan de Fuca
500
Is what studying geologic time tells us about the Earth
That it is dynamic
500
are like hot molten conveyors driving plate tectonics in the mantle
What is convection currents
