Earth Layers
100
Where the crust is created and the plates moves apart.
What is a divergent boundary?
100
This human developed the Theory of Continental Drift.
Who is Alfred Wegener?
100
Type of volcano found near a divergent boundary.
What is fissure volcanoes?
100
The study of earthquake waves.
What is seismology?
100
The outer most layer of the Earth.
What is the crust?
200
Where the crust is destroyed and the plates comes together.
What is a convergent boundary?
200
300 million years ago all the continents were connected as one large landmass.
What is Pangaea?
200
Type of volcano found near a convergent boundary.
What is composite volcanoes?
200
How big an earthquake was, is, or is going to be.
What is magnitude?
200
The only liquid layer in the Earth.
What is the outer core?
300
Where you find most earthquakes and the plates slide beside each other.
What is a transform boundary?
300
A dead organism (non-renewable) source of energy.
What is a fossil?
300
Type of volcano found near hot spots.
What is shield volcanoes.
300
Huge tidal waves that wipe out anything in its way.
What is a tsunami?

The inner most layer of the Earth.
What is the inner core?
400
Divided into 10 Major Tectonic Plates.
What is the Earth's lithosphere?
400
Puzzle like fit, fossil evidence, ancient climates, and rock features.
What is continental drift evidence?
400
Silicon and oxygen rich, sudden, high viscosity, and melting continental crust.
What is explosive volcanoes?
400
The center of an earthquake that generates wave fronts.
What is the focus of an earthquake?
400
The plates of the lithosphere move on this hot, malleable semiliquid zone in the upper mantle, directly underneath the lithosphere.
What is the asthenosphere?
500
This causes the tectonic plates to move back and forth and side to side.
What is seafloor spreading?
500
Mountain ranges in North America and Eurasia line up; also, similar coal fields match in North America and Eurasia.
What is rock features?
500
Very small but VERY violent, can appear in days, and thin crustal areas or shallow subduction areas.
What is cinder cone volcanoes?
500
A sudden and violent shaking of the ground, sometimes causing great destruction.
What is an earthquake?
500
The layer before the crust and after the outer core (the middle layer).
