Plate Boundaries
Earth's Layers
Tremors, Eruptions, & Landforms...Oh My!
Supercontinent
100

This boundary occurs when tectonic plates slide past one another.

Transform Boundaries 

100

This layer of the Earth is right under your nose (or should I say...Feet?)

Crust

100

Volcanoes form most often at this type of tectonic plate boundary.

Convergent Boundaries 

100

All of our continents used to be connected as one. The name given to this "supercontinent" is ________.

Pangea 

200

This boundary occurs when tectonic plates come together. 

Convergent Boundaries 

200

The center of the Earth.

Core

200

Earthquakes occur most often at this type of boundary.

Transform Boundaries

200

True or False: Everyone believed Wegener's theory of Pangea right away

300

This landform, which rhymes with "bench," occurs at convergent plate boundaries and causes seafloor spreading. 

Trench

300
Proof of Pangea includes the fact that many of the continents fit together like a sort of ________. 

Puzzle 

400

This type of boundary is mostly found in the oceans because it causes mid-ocean ridges, trenches, and seafloor spreading. 

Divergent Boundaries 

400

There are two types of crust. The first is continental. The second is _______. 

Oceanic 

400

Earthquakes occur most often at this type of line.

Name the three type of tectonic plate boundaries. 

Convergent, Divergent, Transform

500

The Earth's mantle is mostly made up of this substance that is made up of melted rock.

magma

500

This process happens at convergent boundaries when one plate slides under another plate.  

Subduction

The man who came up with the theory of Pangea.
