The study/mapping of the Earth's Surface is known as

Minerals are hard, __________ substances found in nature
Inorganic

FIRST AND LAST NAME (SPELL IT RIGHT)
Who came up with the theory of Pangea and who came up with the theory of Seafloor Spreading?
Alfred Wegener and Harry Hess
I do not have locks, but I have keys. I have no room, but I have space. You cannot go outside, but you can enter. What am I?
A keyboard
On a topographic map, the highest point of elevation is the ______________ shape on the map
Smallest
Which characteristic of minerals are you observing when you use a scratch plate, usually made of porcelain?
Streak
Which process directly result in small pieces of rock being sent to the earth's surface, compacting them underground over hundreds of thousands to millions of years eventually creating sedimentary rocks?
Erosion
How does Seafloor Spreading confirm Continental Drift?
What is one question that will get different answers at different times and yet would still be correct?
"What time is it?"
The difference between one level in elevation and the one above or below it on a Topographic Map is called the
Contour Interval
Why is color the least reliable way to identify minerals?
Because minerals can be different colors, or different minerals can be the same color.
What is the word for a rock that has layers in it, and which of the 3 types of rocks most consistently has layers?
Foliated
Metamorphic
Which type of boundary is most commonly associated with earthquakes?
Transform Boundary
What is something that you get to keep after you give it to someone?
Your word/A promise
What critical mapping point runs through Greenwich, England?
International Date Line
What is the name of the scale used to measure hardness of minerals and what are the softest/hardest minerals?
Mohs Scale
Talc/Diamond
The two types of Igneous Rocks are __________ and __________
Which type contributes to Seafloor Spreading and why?
Extrusive and Intrusive
Extrusive because it leaves the earth's mantle and goes above the surface
What is the name of the ocean that once surrounded Pangea and covered the entire world?
Panthalassa
I have no mouth but I always reply when you speak to me. What am I?
An echo
How is Seafloor Spreading related to Topographic Mapping?
EXPLAIN IN SOME WAY THAT MAPPING ALLOWED US TO UNDERSTAND CONTINENTAL DRIFT AND WAYS TO MAP OUR OWN WORLD
Name 2/3 processes in which minerals are formed
Crystallization
Evaporation
Precipitation
How do veins affect what is inside of both metamorphic and igneous rocks?
Minerals run through cracks in rocks, filling in the gaps and crystallizing inside of those rocks (due to extreme heat). When those rocks continue to be exposed to heat and pressure they either become metamorphic rocks or melt into magma, becoming igneous rocks
How does the invention of Sonar contribute to/advance Topographic mapping?
Sonar allows us to better understand the surface of the earth, both on the surface and underwater. Creating more accurate maps.
Name 3 consecutive days (they follow one another) without naming a day of the week
Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
