This layer would be the heat source for our Earth.
What is the core?
100
One of the first scientists to hypothesize about the movements of Earth's crust. For a daily double, this was his supercontinent.
Who is Alfred Wegener? What is Pangaea?
100
The plate boundary type where plates collide.
What is a convergent boundary?
100
The separation of two continental plates creates this. Give an example for a daily double.
What is a Rift Valley? What is the Great African Rift Valley?
100
Earthquakes and volcanoes occur most often on these parts of Earth's lithospheric plates. For a Daily Double, name a famous region that we live in that has the most EQs and volcanoes.
What are Plate Boundaries? What is the Ring of Fire?
200
In this layer we find convection currents that support the theory of plate tectonics.
What is the asthenosphere? (Will accept mantle, too.)
200
Using these 4 pieces of evidence, Wegener was able to create his hypothesis of Continental Drift. Will accept 3.
What is fossil evidence, glacier deposits, coal deposits, and continents' puzzle-like structure?
200
The plate boundary type where plates separate.
What is a divergent boundary?
200
The collision of two continental plates creates this type of mountain. Give an example for a daily double.
What are folded mountains? What are the Himalayas?
200
These 3 wave types are produced by earthquakes and create the shaking that we feel.
What are S, P, and Surface Waves?
300
This layer is the combination of the oceanic and continental crusts.
What is the lithosphere?
300
This was the missing piece and why scientists struggled to believe Wegener's hypothesis.
What is not knowing HOW Continental Drift happened?
300
The plate boundary type where plates slide horizontally (not vertically).
What is a transform boundary?
300
The collision of an oceanic plate and a continental plate creates these 2 types of landforms.
What is an oceanic trench at the subduction zone, and volcanic mountains?
300
This is the type of movement of a P-wave. For a Daily Double, P waves travel through what materials?
What is compressional movement? All materials (solids, liquids, gases).
400
As fluid heats it rises and as it cools it sinks because of this. For a daily double, this cycle is called...
What is density? What are convection currents?
400
In 1960 this was found as evidence to support Wegener's hypothesis (evidence found from a boat with sonar).
What is Seafloor Spreading?
400
The three types of interactions at a convergent boundary.
What is oceanic to oceanic, continental to continental, and oceanic to continental?
400
The collision of two oceanic plates creates this. Give an example for a Daily Double.
What are volcanic island chains? What are the Aleutian Islands?
400
The S-wave has this type of movement. For a Daily Double, S waves travel through what kinds of materials?
What is side-to-side or up-and-down movement? What are only solids?
500
The theory (not hypothesis) that Earth's plates are in consistent motion.
What is Plate Tectonics?
500
In addition to Seafloor Spreading, this is another piece of evidence that supports and created the Theory of Plate Tectonics.
What are convection currents?
500
When one plates dives under another and creates an ocean trench and often volcanoes, it occurs in this type of zone.
What is a subduction zone? (Will accept "subduction.")
500
When plates rub against each other at a transform boundary this action is called ... which creates .... an example of this ...
What is shearing...what are faults... what is the San Andreas Fault?
500
Using three locations from seismograph readings will help you find this part of earthquake.
