Plate Tectonics
Hot on the Inside
100
Wegener named his 'Super Continent' this term which means "All Lands."
What is Pangaea?
100
They are the three categories of rocks
What are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic?
100
It is the point directly above the focus of an earthquake.
What is the epicenter?
100
When rocks break, they move along these surfaces.
What are faults?
100
These are Earth's layers in order beginning from the inside.
What is the inner core, outer core, mantle, crust.
200
This is the name given to Wegener's hypothesis.
What is Continental Drift?
200
These rocks are formed from erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation and they may contain fossils.
What is sedimentary rock?
200
These kinds of questions cannot be answered by science.
What are questions of ethics or moral values?
200
Compression forces produce this kind of fault.
What is a reverse fault?
200
This is the only liquid layer of Earth.
What is the outer core?
300
These are three types of evidence that support Wegener's idea.
What are climate change, fossils, and land forms?
300
This category of rock forms from high heat and pressure.
What is metamorphic?
300
S and P waves
What are two typesof earthquake waves?
300
This is the area in the Pacific Rim where many volcanoes and earthquakes occur.
What is the Ring of Fire?
300
Convection currents in this layer are thought to cause continental drift.
What is the mantle?
400
Continental Drift gave rise to this theory.
What is Plate Tectonics?
400
It is a term given to igneous rocks that form when magma hardens beneath Earth's surface.
What is intrusive igneous rock?
400
The amount of material in an object.
What is Mass?
400
This describes plates that are moving apart from each other.
What is divergent?
400
This inner core is made up mostly of these metals.
What are iron and nickel?
500
This occurs at mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity and then gradually moves away from the ridge.
What is seafloor spreading?
500
This is the hardest mineral on the Mohs scale.
What is diamond?
500
These are the three types of volcanoes.
What are shield, cinder cone, and composite volcanoes?
500
This plate is subducting under the edge of South America.
What is the Nazca Plate?
500
This type of boundary occurs where two plates slide past each other.
What is a transform boundary?
