The Hawaiian Islands are made up of this type of volcano
What are shield volcanoes?
100
Scientist that theorized continental drift.
Who is Alfred Wegener?
100
In this lab we experienced the movement of the asthenoshere.
What is the oobleck/goo activity? (cornstarch & water)
200
The layer of molten rock on which the tectonic plates move
What is the Asthenosphere?
200
The direction convergent plates move
What is toward each other?
200
Built from layers of lava that flowed slowly out of the Earth and has sides that are not very steep.
What is a shield vocano?
200
The super continent that existed millions of years ago.
What is Pangaea?
200
In this lab we demonstrated the different layers of the Earth and used this as a model.
What is the hard-boiled egg?
300
The liquid layer of the Earth
What is the outer core?
300
Scientists monitor these two things that occur mostly at plate boundaries
What are volcanoes and earthquakes?
300
Composed of cinders.
What is a cinder cone volcano?
300
Many scientists rejected the continental drift hypothesis because it did not explain how the continents did this.
What is move/drift?
300
In this lab we showed the movement of tectonic plates and explored the different types of plate boundaries.
What is the Graham Slam Lab?
400
The layers of the Earth from the surface to the center
What is crust, mantle, outer core, inner core?
400
The San Andreas fault occurs at this type of plate boundary
What is a transform boundary?
400
Usually cone-shaped and is built up of layers of hardened lava and rock fragments.
What is a composite volcano?
400
This was evidence that was found to support Wegener's theory of continetal drift.
What are fossils?
400
This lab was used to show the movement of seismic waves.
What is the slinky lab?
500
The reason the Earth's layers settled in there current positions
What is density?
500
When one plate sinks below another plate
What is subduction?
500
Daily Double
Describe what happens during an Earthquake and discuss how scientist track them. Be sure to include the different types of wave and use your vocabulary:)
500
This is also evidence of Wegener's theory.
What is the geology of the continents? (Ex. Appalachain Mountains) OR climate change?
500
We charted a series of earthquakes and volcanoes on a map to represent this.
