This is the name of the "Supercontinent" proposed to have existed around 200 million years ago
What is Pangaea?
100
Where the seafloor is spreading this underwater chain of volcanic mountains forms
What is a mid-ocean ridge?
100
The Earth's plates are made from this layer which is rigid, solid rock.
What is the lithosphere?
100
At this type of plate boundary, plates move away from one another and new crust is formed
What is divergent?
100
Mr. Margetan has a beautiful wife. True or False.
What is TRUE!
200
This meteorologist was the first to develop the Theory of Continental Drift
Who is Alfred Wegener?
200
This geologist was the first to develop the Theory of Seafloor Spreading
Who is Harry Hess?
200
This is the layer below the lithosphere which provides the energy for the plates to move
What is the asthenosphere?
200
At this type of plate boundary, plates slide side-by-side past one another, often resulting in Earthquakes
What is transform?
200
Mr. Margetan has this many cats.
What is 0.
300
The best fossil evidence to support continental drift was of life forms that were (landlocked, strong swimmers, or could fly)
What is land-locked?
300
Due to seafloor spreading, the crust farther away from mid-ocean ridges are (older, younger)
What is older
300
This is the transfer of heat as particles expand and rise
What is convection?
300
When continental-continental convergence occurs, these features are produced
What are mountains?
300
Mr. Margetan was born in this city in Western PA.
What is Johnstown?
400
This landmass seems to have traveled the furthest from Pangaea and has now collided with Asia to form the Himalaya Mountains
What is India?
400
This ocean contains the majority of the Earth's mid-ocean ridge system
What is the Atlantic?
400
This type of crust is dense due to compression from water pressure
What is oceanic crust?
400
This is the term for one plate moving below another plate and being destroyed
What is subduction?
400
This is Mr. Margetan's favorite type of food.
What is Chinese?
500
These are the four different types of evidence established to support the Theory of Continental Drift
What are coastlines matching like a puzzle, fossil records, rock layers, and climate records?
500
Other than the age of rock, this feature of rock was found to match on both sides of mid-ocean ridges and help support the Theory of Seafloor Spreading.
What is the magnetic polarity?
500
This is the largest plate on Earth, but is currently decreasing in size due to subduction
What is the Pacific Plate?
500
During oceanic-continental convergence, these two features are formed
What are trenches and volcanoes
500
This is Mr. Margetan's favorite NHL team, which happens to be the best team ever and much better than the horrible and embarrassing Flyers.
