If you were to dig to the center of the Earth, you would be in this layer.
What is the crust?
100
Place in the volcano where lava and ash are released into the air?
What is the vent?
100
Landforms that are made from convergent plate boundaries.
What are mountains and volcanoes?
100
True or False. All of the sea-floor was found to be the same age?
What is false?
100
Term for the ability to do work or cause change.
What is energy?

These are two types of Crust.
What is continental and oceanic?
200
Volcano that has steep sides and hardened lava chunks called cinders.
What is a cinder cone volcano?
200
Large landmass where all of the continents were thought to have come together.
What is Pangea?
200
New material that is added to the ocean floor through sea-floor spreading.
What is crust?
200
The two basic forms of energy.
What is potential and kinetic?

5,000 degrees Celsisus
What is temperature of the inner core?
300
Volcano that is wide and gently sloping with smooth and runny lava.
What is a shield volcano?
300
Underwater mountain range in the Atlantic Ocean that confirmed the theory of Continental drift.
What is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge?
300
Process in which mid-ocean ridges continually add new material to the ocean floor.
What is sea-floor spreading?
300
True or false. Most forms of energy can be transformed into other forms.
What is true?

This is what happens to the density of the Earth as you go towards its center.
What is the density increases?
400
Layer of Earth where magma is located.
What is the mantle?
400
Boundary where plates move apart, or diverge from each other
What is divergent ?
400
Process that "destroys" sea-floor.
What is subduction?
400
Microwaves and sunlight are examples of this type of energy?
What is electromagnetic energy?
500
Convection currents occur over/in this section of the Earth.
What is the mantle?
500
The difference between magma and lava.
What is magma is inside the Earth and lava is outside the Earth.
500
Boundary where plates come together, or converge.
What is convergent?
500
If you were looking above a mid-ocean ridge, where would the older rock be found?
What is fartherest from the ridge; new rock would be closer to the mid-ocean ridge.
500
This is how you find an object's mechanical energy.
What is the sum of an object's potential and kinetic energy?
