100
It is this type of wave.
What is a P-wave?
100
They are the three compositional layers of the earth from the outside to the inside IN ORDER.
What are the crust, mantle, and core?
100
It is this type of plate boundary.
What is a convergent plate boundary?
100
It is this.
What is a seismograph?
100
It is the name for a giant wave caused by seismic activity on the ocean floor.
What is tsunami?
100
It is this.
What is Pangea?
200
It is this type of wave.
What is an S-wave?
200
They are the mechanical layers of the earth from the outside to the inside.
What are the lithosphere, asthenosphere, mantle, outer core, and inner core?
200
It is the name for this type of boundary.
What is transform?
200
It is what this measures.
What are seismic waves?
What are vibrations in the earth?
200
He was the first scientist to come up with the Theory of Continental Drift.
Who was Alfred Wegener?
200
It is the name for the theory that all the continents were once connected.
What is the theory of continental drift?
300
They are the faster of the two seismic wave types.
What are P-waves?
300
It is the ridged outer mechanical layer of the earth that is split into tectonic plates.
What is the lithosphere?
300
It is the name for the phenomenon of an oceanic plate moving under a continental plate.
What is subduction?
300
This is why you need data from at least 3 seismographs to locate the epicenter of an earthquake.
What is there are TWO possible epicenters if you only use data from 2 seismographs?
300
It is the time between the arrival of P-waves and the arrival of S-waves.
What is lag time?
300
These are evidence that the continents were once connected.
What are fossils?
400
They are the waves that pass through solids, but not liquids or gasses.
What are S-waves?
400
It is the spinning liquid layer that gives the earth its magnetic field.
What is the outer core?
400
It is what happens at convergent boundary between two continental plates.
What is the formation of mountains?
400
A seismograph can tell a scientist THIS about an earthquake. (BE SPECIFIC.) 
What is the distance from the epicenter?
400
It is the reason that oceanic plates subduct under continental plates.
What is, they are more dense?
400
Evidence of these are also evidence to support the theory of continental drift.
What are glaciers?
500
This is also known as 'lag time' and is used to determine a seismograph's distance from an epicenter.
What is the time between the arrival of the P-waves and the S-waves.
500
It is plastic-like layer on which the tectonic plates float.
What is the asthenosphere?
500
It is the plate boundary type that makes new ocean floor.
What is a divergent boundary / mid-ocean ridge?
500
A student, who is 50 miles from the epicenter of an earthquake which measures 6.7 on the Richter Scale, experiences mild shaking for a few seconds. This number, 6.7, refers to THIS about the earthquake. (Magnitude or Intensity)
What is magnitude?
500
This is the relationship between the age of the ocean floor and the distance of that ocean floor from the closest mid-ocean ridge.
What is, the further from the ridge, the older the ocean floor?
500
This is the name for the giant rigid slabs of the Earth's surface that drifted apart.
What are tectonic plates?
