A Little Bit of This and That
100
this man created the Theory of Continental Drift.
Who is Alfred Wegner
100
Thick and not very dense. Rises above other plates during subduction.
What is continental crust?
100
magma outside of the Earth.
What is lava?
100
Found at this type of boundary.
What is a transform boundary?
100
the sphere that humans belong to
What is biosphere?
200
This theory suggested that Earth was once a giant supercontinent.
What is Continental Drift Theory
200
Two plates colliding to form a mountain.
What is a convergent boundary?
200
Causes lava to flow differently.
What does silica content do?
200
Earthquakes can be predicted using this tool.
What is a seisomgraph?
200
the air we breathe is made of 78% this.
What is Nitrogen?
300
The name of the giant supercontinent was this.
What is Pangaea
300
Two plates moving past each other creating stress and friction.
What is a transform boundary?
300
Type of lava a violent eruption would have.
What is thick lava?
300
Primary waves move faster than this wave.
What is a Secondary wave.
300
This killed many people in the city of Pompeii, not the lava.
What is the toxic air?
400
The Theory of Plate Tectonics was supported by evidence from these.
What are volcanoes and earthquakes?
400
Two plates coming together at a subduction zone.
What is a convergent boundary?
400
Famous chain of volcanoes along the Tonga Trench in the Pacific Ocean.
What is the Ring of Fire?
400
Both primary and secondary waves can move through solids. Only primary waves can move through this.
What is a liquid?
400
This is the deepest known part of the ocean.
What is the Marianna's Trench?
500
something that is accepted at true because there is evidence to support it and nothing to prove it is false.
What is a theory?
500
two plates pulling away from each other.
What is a divergent boundary?
500
The Hawaiian Islands formed because of this.
What is a hot spot?
500
This causes many casualties during and earthquake.
What is man made buildings.
500
burning garbage would be an example of the biosphere effecting this
What is the atmosphere?
