100
When two plates rub against each other it is this type of tectonic movement
What is Transforming (Transformative)
100
There are currently this many continents
What is 7
100
This is the type of activity (starts with an S) that signifies an earthquake
What is seismic
100
True/False: All volcanic options are alike
What is false
100
The plates sit on this molten liquid
What is magma
200
When two plates pull apart it is this type of tectonic movement
What is Divergent
200
This is the man who developed the theory of continental drift in 1915
Who is Alfred Wegener
200
This is the machine used to measure an earthquake
What is a seismograph
200
There are this many types of volcanos
What is three
200
This is the outer layer of the earth
What is crust
300
When two plates push together it is this type of tectonic movement
What is convergent
300
This is the theory of plate movement that confirmed Continental Drift
What is Plate Tectonics
300
This is the scale that measures how strong an earthquake is
What is Richter
300
A volcano that will not erupt anymore is called this
What is extinct
300
This is the center of the earth
What is core
400
When an oceanic plate converges with another plate and goes underneath it is this type of tectonic movement
What is subduction
400
This is the name of the single continent that existed before Continental Drift occurred
What is Pangea
400
This is the process that causes both earthquakes and volcanos
What is plate movement/tectonics
400
A volcano that has not erupted recently but still may (is is "sleeping") is called this
What is dormant
400
This is the layer of the earth that is mostly magma
What is mantle
500
Plates move as a result of these types of currents
What are convection currents
500
Plates go from the crust into the mantle. This area is named this "L" word
What is lithosphere
500
Most earthquakes and volcanoes happen around this specific area of the world (Ring of...)
What is the ring of fire
500
This is the dormant volcano where people are thinking about storing nuclear waste in Nevada
What is Yucca Mountain
500
There are this many parts of the earth's core
What is 2 (Inner and Outer)
