What is the name of the supercontinent formed by all 7 current continents years ago.?
Pangea
Which layer is on top for the geosphere?
Crust
True or False: The Earth is one solid slab of rock
False
Where one plate submerges below another plate.
Subduction
Density
Mass/Volume
How are oceanic and continental crusts different?
The oceanic crust is more dense and thinner than the continental crust.
Which layer is made of liquid metal and is just before the Inner Core?
Outer Core
What sphere is the most dense
Geosphere
This plate reaction creates mountains and is where plates push together
Convergent
Mass is measured by
Triple Beam Balance
What is the water cycle? Designate one member to do the dance.
1.) Evaporation
2.) Condensation
3.) Precipitation
4.) Run-off
This layer is made of liquid magma and slides the plates around due to convection.
This is the smallest of the spheres
biosphere
What type of crust is older Oceanic or Continental?
Continental Crust. Oceanic is still formed every day due to lava being repeatedly cooled.
Evaporation from Trees/Plants.
Transpiration.
This results in volcanoes.
This is the inner most layer of geosphere
Inner Core
This sphere protects us from the Sun's rays and also is the least dense
atmosphere
This type of sliding plate interaction creates earthquakes.
Transform
Liquid to a gas
Evaporation
Drop, cover, hold
The theory proposed by Alfred Wegner about the continents drifting to their respective positions after being part of Pangaea is called...
Continental Drift Theory.
Water, frozen water, all water.
This plate interaction pulls apart and results in volcanoes.
Divergent
Scale that measures disaster
Richter scale.
