This is the hottest layer.
What is the inner core?
100
An instrument used to measure earthquakes.
What is a seismograph?
100
This is the study of the movement of plates.
What is plate tectonics?
200
This occurs when two plates move against each other.
What is a transform boundary?
200
This theory stated that Pangaea split and the pieces drifted into their present day location and will continue to move.
What is the Continental Drift Theory?
200
This is the thinnest layer of earth.
What is the crust?
200
The type of boundary that creates a volcano when an oceanic plate moves under another plate.
What is a convergent boundary?
200
The earth is constantly doing this.
What is moving?
300
This occurs when an oceanic plate moves under another plate.
What is a convergent boundary?
300
Name one item of evidence supporting the idea of continental drift.
What is the earth looking like a puzzle, rock evidence, or fossil evidence?
300
This layer is made of a solid that flows like a liquid.
What is the mantle?
300
The type of boundary that creates a volcano when two plates move away from each other.
What is a divergent boundary?
300
The crust, the mantle, the core
What are the three layers of the Earth?
400
When molten rock rises and falls beneath the earth’s crust it causes movement of these.
What are plates?
400
This German scientist authored a book on the Continental Drift Theory.
Who is Alfred Wegner?
400
This layer is liquid iron and nickel.
What is the outer core?
400
These are created as a plate continually moves over a hot spot.
What are volcanic chains?
400
A bend in the rock.
What is a fold?
500
Oceanic and Continental
What are the two types of crust?
500
These are the names for the two continents that Pangaea split into.
What are Laurasia and Gondwanaland?
500
This is the cause of the inner core being solid iron and nickel.
What is pressure?
500
A break in the earth's crust caused by stress or movement.
What is a fault?
500
An instrument used to measure Earthquakes.
