Hot on the Inside
100
Wegener named his 'Super Continent' this term which means "All Lands".
What is Pangaea?
100
This is the theory that Continental Drift gave rise to
What is plate tectonics?
100
It is the point directly above the focus of an earthquake.
What is the epicenter?
100
It surrounds the Pacific Plate.
What is the Ring of Fire?
100
These are Earth's layers in order beginning from the inside.
What is the inner core, outer core, mantle, crust.
200
This is the name given to Wegener's hypothesis.
What is Continental Drift?
200
Oceanic plates that diverge form this feature.
What is a mid-ocean ridge?
200
Earthquakes usually occur at this type of boundary.
What is a transform boundary? (strike slip fault)
200
The name of the feature in Africa where continental crust is diverging.
What is the Great Rift Valley?
200
This is the only liquid layer of Earth.
What is the outer core?
300
These are three types of evidence that support Wegener's idea.
What are climate change, fossils, and land forms?
300
This forms near a subduction zone where plates converge
What is a trench?
300
The Hawaiian Islands formed over this feature.
What is a hot spot?
300
These are the three stages of volcanoes.
What are extinct, dormant, and active?
300
It is a section of the mantle just below the lithosphere
What is the asthenosphere?
400
Continental Drift gave rise to this theory.
What is Plate Tectonics?
400
This is a transform boundary in California.
What is the San Andreas Fault?
400
The Cascade Mountains formed because of this type of boundary.
What is a convergent boundary where subduction occurs.
400
It's the zone where the more dense crust gets pushed down underneath the less dense crust when plates converge.
What is a subduction zone?
400
This inner core is made up mostly of these metals.
What is iron and nickel?
500
They are the names of the dinosaur and plant fossils found in S. America and Africa that support Wegener's hypothesis.
What is the mesosaurus and glossopteris?
500
This land feature forms over millions of years when oceanic crust converges with oceanic crust.
What is an island arc?
500
These are the three types of volcanoes.
What are shield, cinder cone, and composite volcanoes?
500
This is the force that moves the lithospheric plates as well as the location of that force.
What are convection currents in the asthenosphere?
500
Oceanic crust consists mostly of this type of rock?
What is igneous rock, basalt?
