Layers of the Earth
Plate Tectonics
Plate Boundaries
Sea Floor Spreading
Other
100
The layer in between the inner core and the mesosphere. The "O" in LAMOI.
What is the Outer Core
100
This is the super-continent that split apart millions of years ago.
What is Pangaea.
100
These plate boundaries slide past each other.
What are Transform Boundaries
100
During sea floor spreading, the oceanic crust moves away from [this].
What is a Mid-Ocean Ridge
100
This term is used to describe that the youngest rocks are on the top, and the oldest are on the bottom.
What is Superposition
200
This layer is between Outer Core and the Asthenosphere. The "M" in LAMOI.
What is the Mesosphere
200
These can be created when two plates collide.
What are mountains
200
These plate boundaries pull away from each other.
What are Convergent Boundaries
200
The process of the sea floor moving away from the mid-ocean ridge
What is Sea floor spreading
200
When the Earth's [this] is normal, a compass will point north.
What is Magnetic Polarity
300
The uppermost layer of the Earth. The "L" in LAMOI.
What is the Lithosphere
300
Plates are deformed as a result of [this].
What is Folding
300
These plate boundaries collide.
What are Convergent Boundaries
300
The [blank] nearest to the mid-ocean ridge is the youngest.
What are Rocks / Crust
300
[This] happens when the Earth magnetic poles change direction.
What is a Magnetic Reversal
400
This is the layer between the Lithosphere and the Mesosphere. The "A" in LAMOI.
What is the Asthenosphere
400
Pangaea split apart in a process called [this].
What is Continental Drift
400
When plates collide, [this] process can happen.
What is Subduction
400
[These] can form at mid-ocean ridges. {Hint: Deals with lava}
What are Volcanoes
400
These lie along tectonic plates. Are a source of Earthquakes.
What are Faults
500
This is the innermost layer of the Earth. The "I" in LAMOI
What is the Inner Core
500
The borders of the plates are called [this].
What are Plate Boundaries
500
The plates on the Earth create [this] concept.
What is Plate Tectonics
500
Mid-ocean ridges form when [this] type of plate movement happens.
What is Convergent
500
[This] is when the ground shakes violently. Usually happen near major faults.
What are Earthquakes
