Earth's Layers
This is the Outermost layer of the Earth
What is the Crust?
The only liquid layer of the Earth.
What is the core/Inner and outer core?
True or False: the continents have always been apart and unconnected.
What is False?
This is the place where two plates meet
What is a boundary?
This is the plate near Africa.
What is the African plate?
This is the Innermost layer of the Earth.
What is the Inner Core?
Volcanoes are caused when mountains are above these.
What are hot spots?
This is formed when two continental plates converge.
What are mountains?
This is the plate by Europe and Asia.
What is the Eurasian plate?
This is the plate to the West of the Americas by the ocean.
What is the Pacific plate?
This is the second Outermost layer.
What is the Mantle/Upper Mantle?
What parts of the Earth the lithosphere is made up of.
What is the crust and the Upper Mantle?
When the continents were together 250 million years ago, this is what the supercontinent was called.
What is Pangaea?
This is the boundary when plates are moving away from each other.
What is a divergent boundary?
This is the boundary when two plates are colliding.
What is a convergent boundary?
This is the second Innermost layer.
What is the Outer Core?
The zone under the lithosphere that the plates move on.
What is the semi-liquid zone/Asthenosphere?
This person came up with the theory of a supercontinent.
Who is Alfred Wegener?
This is the boundary when plates slide past each other.
What is a transform boundary?
This is what convergent boundaries cause.
What are mountains or volcanoes?
This is the Middle layer.
What is the Mantle/Lower Mantle?
The difference between these two things is that one is on land and one is under water, but they both occur because of divergent boundaries.
What are ridges and rifts?
The theories of plate movement have developed this theory.
This is what transform boundaries cause.
What are earthquakes and faults?
This is what divergent boundaries cause.
What are sea-floor spreading, mid-ocean ridge, and rifts?
