Plate Tectonics
It is a single giant landmass that was broken into several continents due to plate tectonics.
Pangea
Outermost Layer of the earth
Crust
Who proposed the Continental Drift Theory?
Alfred Wegener
the scientific study of landforms and the processes that shape them
Geomorphology
Part of the core that is solid because of the pressure.
Inner Core
This happens due to rapid release of energy caused by slippage along a fault
Earthquake
The zone or boundary between the Crust and Mantle?
Mohorovicic Discontinuity
An animal that lived during early Permian period, 286 mya, modern type of reptile similar to a crocodile
Mesosaurus
They are formed by the chemical and mechanical action of the wind.
Aeolian Landform
What instrument records earthquake waves?
Seismograph
The closer the volcano to the hotspot, the younger the volcano,
True or False
True
What builds outer core?
Molten Iron and Nickel Alloy
Due to Glacial tills found in India and South Africa, experts concluded that...
These countries were once beside Antarctica and has the same climate.
What landforms underwent sedimentation, erosion, or deposition on the waterbed
Fluvial and Coastal Landforms
The study of the extended climatic conditions of past geologic ages
Paleoclimatology
His theory states that volcanic chains like the Hawaiian Island result from slow movement of tectonic plate across a fixed hotspot.
John Tuzo Wilson
It occurs when matter solidifies not because of low temperature but because of extreme pressure.
Pressure Freezing
Enumerate the Paleontological Evidences
Mesosaurus, Cynognathus, Lystrosaurus, Glossopteris
Give 2 examples of Erosional Landforms
(Mesas, Butte, Canyon)
The natural physical features on the surface of the Earth formed by the forces of nature as wind, water, ice and tectonic plates
Landforms
Using the formula d = (Td/8secs) x100
What is the distance of the earthquake if the Time Difference is 40 seconds.
40secs/8secs = 5
5 x 100 = 500kms
500KM
