The theory that the Earth is broken up into plates and those plates are consistently moving.
What is plate tectonics?
100
The theory that the Earth's continents were once connected and are slowing drifting apart.
What is continental drift?
100
These are the layers of the Earth from surface down.
What is the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core.
100
These are the three types of plate boundaries.
What are convergent, divergent and transform?
100
These are the three types of volcanoes.
What are shield, composite, and cinder cone?
200
This what caused Pangaea to separate.
What is a divergent boundary?
200
This is clue found in antarctic that tells us that Antarctica was once warm.
What is coal or glossopteris?
200
I am the layer of the Earth that is liquid and solid.
What is the mantle?
200
I’m one plate sinking beneath another
What is subduction?
200
I am a large and broad volcano.
What is shield volcano?
300
I am what caused the Himalayan mountains.
What is a convergent boundary?
300
I am the marks left on continents from glaciers when the continents were connected.
What are glacial striations?
300
I am the solid rock layer of the Earth.
What is the crust?
300
I am what is formed from a continental-continental convergent boundary.
What is mountain formation?
300
I am a small volcano shaped like a cone.
What is a cinder cone volcano?
400
I am what is causing earthquakes in California.
What is a transform boundary?
400
I am three pieces of evidence you used to support continental drift.
What are rock clues, fossil clues, and the shape of the continents.
400
I am the hottest layer of the Earth.
What is the inner core?
400
I am what is caused from a transform boundary.
What are earthquakes?
400
I am made from alternating explosive and non-explosive eruptions.
What is a composite volcano?
500
I am what created Japan.
What is a subduction zone from convergent boundary?
500
I am the scientist who came up with the idea of Pangaea.
Who is Alfred Wegener?
500
I am the reason we know what the Earth is made of.
What are seismographs?
500
I am the liquid layer of the mantle under the solid rock layer.
What is the asthenosphere?
500
I am the location of a cinder cone volcano that we discussed in class.
What is Italy, Mt. Etna?
