What is a change to earth surface that is fast
100
The naturally occurring "building blocks" of rocks.
What are MINERALS
100

What is vent or Crater 
100
The Theory that says Earth began as one supercontinent.
What is Continental Drift
200
The part inside the Earth's that is the hottest
What is THE INNER CORE
200
This type of sudden change has a focus and an epicenter
What is an EARTHQUAKE
200
Mohs hardness scale goes to what number? Which mineral is the hardest?
What is 10, Diamond is the hardest
200
What is the rock cycle?  
it shows how rocks and created and transformed
200
The two types of Plates (think about the crust)
What are OCEANIC PLATES, and CONTINENTAL PLATES
300
This inner part of the Earth has an upper and Lower
What is MANTLE
300
This type of sudden change is a result of the plates moving and it contains magma and lava


What is a VOLCANO
300
THREE of the properties we use to describe mineral?
What are Colour, Lustre, Streak, Fracture and Cleavage, Transparency, Hardness.
300
Who proposed the theory of continental drift?
Who is Wegner 
300
How are the plates moving/why do the continents move (same thing for both)
What is Convection currents in the mantle


400
What are all the layers of the Earth, and are they solid or liquid?
SOLID Inner core, LIQUID Outer Core, Mantle (Half - Liquid, Half- Solid). SOLID Crust.
400
The difference between Lava and Magma in a volcano is?
What is Magma is molten rock stored in the Earth's crust Lava is magma that reaches the surface of our Earth.
400
The three classes of rocks.
What are IGNEOUS, SEDIMENTARY, METAMORPHIC
400
Where do a lot of natural disasters happen?
What is at plate boundaries
400
What are the three type of plate boundaries and briefly describe them
Divergent- away

Convergent- together

Transform- slide

500
What part of the Earth do we live on?
What is the CRUST
500
What is the difference bettween a sudden change and a gradual change? Give an example of both of them.
Sudden- Fast ex. earthquake, tsunami, volcano etc

Gradual- Slow ex. glacier, moving water, 


500

How are sedimentary rocks created? How are igneous rocks created? How are metamorphic rocks created? 

Sedimentary- compaction (squeezing)

Igneous- magma and lava cooling 

Metamorphic- heat and pressure

500
Why is Hawaii so unique?
formed on a hot spot (in the middle of a plate)
500
Three forms of evidence for the "Supercontinent" Theory. 
Fossils, climates, landforms, rocks etc
