Continental Drift
This man is the person who originally proposed the idea of Continental Drift.
Who is Alfred Wegener?
This is defined as mass per unit volume.
What is density?
Sea floor spreading happens at this type of boundary.
What is divergent?
This type of rock is formed when magma erupts and cools into lava on the surface of the Earth.
What is igneous?
The area in the Pacific where most earthquakes and volcanic activity occur.
What is the "Ring of Fire"?
Scientists believe that at one time all the continents formed one giant landmass called this.
What is Pangaea?
This is calculated by dividing mass by volume.
What is density?
The mid-Atlantic Ridge is an example of this type of boundary.
What is divergent?
This type of rock is formed through a series of processes: erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation.
What is sedimentary?
This device is used to measure the strength of an earthquake.
What is a seismograph?
This layer of the Earth is believed to be responsible for moving the tectonic plates.
What is the Asthenosphere?
What method of heat transfer is based on warm, less dense liquids, gases, or solids rising and falling as they cool?
What is convection?
This man was one of the first to come up with the theory of Sea Floor Spreading.
Who is Harry Hess?
This type of rock is formed from heat and pressure deep beneath Earth's surface.
What is metamorphic?
Name a liquid that is more viscous than maple syrup.
What is honey?
Together, the crust and upper mantle form this layer.
What is the Lithosphere?
The mass of an object is 35 gm and its volume is 7 cubic centimeters. What is the density of the object?
What is 5 gcm3?
The newest rock formed by mid-ocean ridges is found here.
What is closest to the opening of the rift?
This is the type of rock the dinosaur footprints at Dinosaur State Park were made in.
What is sedimentary?
This type of boundary is responsible for a lot of earthquake activity.
What is a transform boundary?
The 3 clues that led Alfred Wegener to his theory of Continental Drift.
What are fossil(animal and plant), geographical, and land shape?
Harry is holding an object that has a mass of 75 g and a density of 3 g cm3. What is its volume?
What is 25 cm3?
What is 2 pieces of fruit roll-up and frosting and pulled them away from each other; the fruit roll-ups symbolized ocean crust and the frosting was the magma that rose up out of it.
This is the name of the metamorphic form of limestone.
What is marble?
The Hawaiian Islands were formed by this type of volcano.
What is a hot spot volcano?
