This is easyyyyyyy. What do you call continents that move?

Hint: It is NOT tectonic plates. There is another meaning for tectonic plates.

Continental Drift

100

This is so simple. What are the two known cores below us?

Inner core and outer core

100

In our lab, Going Going Gone, what happened to the sugar before and after water was added? Did it disappear? Did the color change?

Various answers. Each group could have different results.

100

Sedimentary rocks include sandstone, mudstone, and gravel. True or false?

False. Sedimentary rocks include sandstone AND mudstone.

200

Two tectonic plates moving AWAY from each other.

Divergent boundary

Let's go back in time to Subunit 1. Where were the fossils on the map? The ocean? In Antarctica? Alaska? Where?

Throughout the continents.

200

The crust and the upper mantle forms the . . .?

Lithosphere

200

In our lab, Crayon Rock Materials, what happens to the "rocks" when energy is transferred to them?

OUR ANSWER! WAIT TILL LAB EXPERIMENT!

200

Why is it important to give a claim, evidence, and reasoning?

Various answers :)
300

The asthenosphere is another hard, long word for the mantle. True or false. Be careful with your answer

False! The asthenosphere is the upper part of Earth's mantle and below the lithosphere.

300

Wegener, an explorer, figured out at least two evidence that continents have drifted over time. What was one of them. 

Fossils and rocks/coal

300

You should know that both continental and oceanic crusts are less dense than the mantle. Though which is denser between the two crusts? Continental crust or Oceanic Crust?

Oceanic Crust

300

Igneous rocks are formed when . . .?

Magma (lava) cools down below or on Earth's surface.

300

What did Wegener found out about the continents?

The continents seemed to fit together 

or

The continents were once next to each other

400

People who study earthquakes.

Seismologists

400

Rewind! Could most of the fossils (animals) swim across the ocean?

No. Some couldn't swim and some could ONLY swim in fresh water.

400

Yay! TRICK question: In the convection current video, it explain that the currents travel around the world. How long did it take?

A. A million years

B. Thousands of years

C. Unpredictable

D. One second

Video said only thousands of years.

If you said C, that is also correct, for it could take a whole decade or just a year.

400

Metamorphic rocks can:

A. Melt

B. The minerals INSIDE can change

C. Can turn invisible

D. Can't do anything above

B, the minerals INSIDE can change.

400

This is hard! List in order, the structure of Earth's layers. IN ORDER! Also, DON'T try and cheat :) You can say at least 5 layers or more!

Hint: There are 2 cores . . .

1. Crust

2. Lithosphere

3. Asthenosphere

4. Mantle

5. Outer core

6. Inner core

500

A rock changed by energy transfer (heat) forms . . .?

Metamorphic rocks

500

Multi Answer! Why did most scientists disapprove Wegener's hypothesis?

A. They just said random words

B. They didn't listen to him

C. They thought that the continents would be deformed

D. Most scientists didn't disapprove. They actually agreed with him.

C, they thought the continents would be deformed if the continents moved over time.

500

This will be simple if you READ the science textbooks. What are the 3 boundaries called? Explain which direction each boundary goes.

1. Transform boundary - Past each other

2. Divergent boundary - Move AWAY

3. Convergent boundary - Comes closer to each other

500

What did seismologists found out about the cause of earthquake damage to buildings?

Ground shaking is the primary cause of damage to buildings.

500

Can you stump other tables with your own SCIENCE RELATED question (from Units 1-2) ...? 

Answer . . . dun dun dunnnnn


I don't know. This question was random because I ran out of ideas. :(
