This volcano has a gentle slope, is nonexplosive, and the lava is runny and spreads over a wide area.

What is a shield volcano?

100
Rock formed from cooling of melted rock (magma/lava)
What is igneous?
100

The first planet in the solar system.

What is mercury?

100
The outermost layer of Earth
What is the crust?
100

Convergent, Divergent, and Transform are types of this.

What are tectonic plate boundaries?

200

This volcano is explosive with pyroclastic flow and has a short lifespan (slope is around 500 meters).

What is a Cinder Cone Volcano?

200
Rock formed from heat and pressure on any other kind of rock
What is metamorphic?
200

What is the red planet called?

What is Mars?

200
What many scientists think is responsible for the movement of plates
What are convection currents?
200

This is the scientist who thought of Pangaea (the idea of all the continents being once joined in a single huge continent).

Bonus: The hypothesis of continents once formed a single landmass, broke up, and drifted to their present locations. +100

Who is Alfred Wegener?


Bonus: What is the Continental Drift?

300

This volcano has a long lifespan, the explosions have the greatest damage including pyroclastic flow and lava, and has a height of about 1,000-4,000 meters.

What is a Composite Volcano?

300
Bits of weathered rock that have been compacted and cemented together
What is sedimentary rock?
300

What planet has life?

What is Earth?

300
Detected by a compass and caused by the metal in the core
What is Earth's magnetic field?
300

The process by which new oceanic lithosphere forms as magma rises toward the surface and solidifies.

What is Sea Floor Spreading?

400

This is a body of molten rock deep underground that feeds a volcano.

What is the Magma Chamber?

400
The type of rock where fossils generally form
What is sedimentary rock?
400

What are the gas giants?

What is Jupiter and Saturn?

400
The majority of earthquakes and volcanoes occur here.
What is the edges of the tectonic plates?
400

This is a chain of underwater mountains that runs through the center of the Atlantic Ocean and where sea floor spreading takes place.

What is the Mid-Ocean Ridge?

500

This is how lava flows and affects the surface of lava in different ways.

Bonus: This is a type of lava that has a high viscosity and flows slowly (wax and glassy). +100

What is Viscosity?



Bonus: Pahoehoe

500

Two factors that destroy fossils in other types of rock

What are heat and pressure?

500

Where does Earth fall in the order of the planets?

What is the 3rd planet?

500
The layer of molten metals that is responsible for the Earth's magnetic field
What is the outer core?
500

What happens when a plate with oceanic crust collides with a plate with continental crust, and the oceanic crust sinks into the asthenosphere. (Not a type of plate boundary)

What is a subduction zone?
