The type of boundary shown here: 

What is a divergent boundary? 

100

The three types of thermal energy transfers

What are conduction, convection, and radiation? 

100

The type of rock formed by cooling magma on Earth's surface

What are igneous rocks?

100

The layer of Earth we live on

What is the crust?
100

The motion of Earth around the sun

What is revolution?

200

The type of boundary where volcanoes are most likely to be found

What are divergent boundaries? 

200

The most likely change in an object's molecules after the object is heated from 20 degrees to 35 degrees

What are speeding up and spreading out? 

200

The type of rock formed through heat and pressure under Earth's surface.

What are metamorphic rocks?

200

The largest layer of earth, where convection currents occur.

What is the mantle?

200

The formula made by Newton's 2nd law of motion.

What is F=ma? 

300

The type of boundary where cracks in rock and slip-faults in rock layers are most likely to originate.

What are transform boundaries? 

300

The type of thermal energy transfer that occur when magma reaches Earth's surface and sends heat through the surrounding air or water.

What is convection? 

300

The type of rock most likely to house fossil records. 

What are sedimentary rocks?

300

The materials that comprise the core of the Earth.

What are iron and nickel?

300

Mr. Sheridan's favorite color

What is purple? 

400

The boundary type AND likely outcome of an oceanic plate sliding underneath a continental plate, as shown below. 

What is a convergent boundary (subduction zone)?
What is melting of the oceanic plate and formation of coastal volcanoes, igneous rock, and oceanic trenches? 

400

The heat source responsible for the motion of tectonic plates, and the type of energy transfer responsible for moving that heat.

What is the Earth's core and convection currents? 

400

The process required to turn a metamorphic rock into an igneous rock.

What is melting and cooling? 

400

The large slaps of rock, dirt, and ocean that make up the crust of the Earth.

What are tectonic plates?

400

The rhyme Mr. Sheridan uses to explain Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition.

What is weathering is the break, erosion is the take, deposition makes the rock layer cake? 

500

The type of plate boundary likely located between the North American and Pacific Plates. 

What is a convergent boundary (subduction zone)? 

500

The likely reason an ice cube will melt faster on a metal tray than in a glass cup.

What is thermal conduction / insulation? 

500

The process required to turn an igneous rock into a sedimentary rock. (all 5 steps needed!)

What are weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation?

500

A description of the interaction between core, mantle, and crust that results in tectonic motion. 

What is heat from the core, convection in the mantle, and movement of the crust. 
500

The name of the Greek goddess whose daughter was forced to marry Hades.

Who is Demeter?
