Geology Nightmares
This is the type of volcano you should build your Hawaiian house by!
What is an extinct volcano?
These are what move just below the crust causing boundaries.
What are tectonic plates?
The PROCESS when oceanic crust slips under continental crust and the oceanic crust is "eaten" by the mantle at a convergent boundary.
What is subduction?
This is the type of heat transfer inside a pot of boiling water.
What is convection?
The place where two plates move away from each other (divide apart).
What is a divergent boundary?
The reason Californians, on transform boundaries, should bolt book cases to the wall and the house to its foundation.
What are Earthquakes?
This is the most outer layer of the earth.
What is the crust?
At a divergent boundary where the mid-ocean ridge is made.
What is sea-floor spreading?
The property of matter that explains why hot fluid rises and cool fluid sinks.
What is Density?
This is the liquid layer surrounding the solid core.
What is the outer core?
This is what causes a tsunami.
What is an underwater earthquake?
This is the solid innermost layer made of iron and nickel.
What is the inner core?
This scientific theorist used sea-floor spreading to confirm Alfred Wegener's Theory.
Who is Harry Hess?
The boundary where two plates come together, or toward each other.
What is a convergent boundary?
This scientific theorist didn't know what pushed or pulled the continents, which means his theory was rejected.
Who is Alfred Wegener?
The reason to remove heavy items from above your bed by the San Andreas Fault.
What is earthquake safety?
This is the largest layer of the Earth.
What is the mantle?
TRIPLE JEOPARDY
Alfred Wegener used these three things as evidence for continental drift.
What are fossils, landforms, and climate?
The plate boundary where two plates move away or divide apart from each other.
What is a divergent boundary?
Magma from the subducting oceanic crust pushes against the less dense and weak continental crust causing these to form along convergent boundaries.
What are volcanoes?
This instrument is used to measure the magnitude of earthquakes.
What is a seismograph?
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
These are the two layers within the Mantle.
What are the asthenosphere and lithosphere?
This is the process that occurs at the mid-ocean ridge.
What is sea-floor spreading?
The continental crust is _____ _____ then oceanic crust.
What is less dense?
The plate boundary where two plates slide past each other, like the San Andreas Fault.
What is a transform boundary?
