Fossil Record Pangaea
Used to develop the geologic time scale. Contains the remains or evidence of a once living organism
Fossil
Builders are planning a housing development in an area near an active plate boundary. Which natural hazard occurs more often at active plate boundaries?
A. ash flows from volcanoes
B. flooding from major rivers
C. forest fires from lightening strikes
D. wind from tropical storms

Waves that cannot pass through liquid
S-waves
Responsible for majority of mass in Solar System
Sun
This type of rock forms from the melting and cooling of magma
Igneous
Supercontinent that is used to support the idea of Continental Drift
Pangea
Plate boundary where two plates collide
Convergent
primary waves
galaxy we are located
Milky way.
List the three types of rocks
Igneous
Metamorphic
Sedimentary
Explain difference between natural selection and artificial selection
Natural- nature chooses
artificial- humans select
Plate boundary associated with the San Andreas Fault
Transform
Energy from an earthquake travels through Earth and is recorded at a seismic station. Which statement explains how the seismic waves will look at a seismic station on the opposite side of Earth?
A. will not record S-waves
B. will not record P-waves
C. will record larger P-waves and S-waves
D. will record smaller P-waves and S-waves
A. will not record S-waves
This goes on the core of stars and is the reason stars shine
Nuclear fusion
These two events are needed to change a sedimentary rock like limestone into a metamorphic rock such as marble
Heat
Pressure
DAILY DOUBLE: Scientist who came up with Continental Drift
Wegener
This plate boundary is most associated with seafloor spreading
Divergent plate boundaries
Location on Earth where an Earthquake is felt the strongest
Epicenter
these two elements make up the majority of stars
Hydrogen
helium
three subatomic particles of an atom
protons
neutrons
electrons
Evidence that confirmed continental drift
Sea floor spreading at mid ocean ridges
This is made up of the crust and upper most portion of the mantle
Lithosphere
Scale the measures true amount of energy experienced during an Earthquake and is most commonly used when reporting information regarding Earthquakes in the news
Richter Scale
the fact galaxies show this behavior, getting farther apart, shows our universe is expanding
Redshift
Negatively charged particles in atom
Electrons
