The fit of the continents, the fossil record, and mountain chains across different continents.
What is evidence that supports the theory of plate tectonics?
100
This is a large area of molten rock beneath the earth's crust that is under intense pressure.
What is a magma chamber?
100
This type of rock is formed from the weathering and erosion of other rocks that form sediments that are cemented together by burial and compaction.
What is sedimentary rock?
100
This sample seems to be made of all the same material. It takes the shape of a crystal.
What is a mineral?
100
Fuels like gas, oil, and coal.
What are Fossil Fuels?
200
A machine that is used to measure earthquake vibrations and predict volcanic eruptions.
What is a seismograph or seismometer?
200
This is molten rock that is still beneath the surface of the earth.
What is magma?
200
This type of rock is formed from cooling molten rock.
What is Igneous Rock?
200
This sample seems to be made of different color and shape materials.
What is a Rock?
200
Energy produced by the heat of the earth?
What is geothermal energy?
300
An event where two plates get stuck on each other, build pressure, and then break past each other releasing energy.
What is an earthquake?
300
This type of lava will form a shield volcano because it is more runny.
What is low viscosity lava?
300
This type of rock is formed when existing rock is exposed to extreme heat and pressure due to being near a magma chamber or near a convergent boundary.
What is a metamorphic rock?
300
This landform carved by the Colorado River was formed as the result of the destructive process of erosion.
What is the Grand Canyon?
300
This rock sample has flat grains and banded layers.
What is a Metamorphic Rock?
400
This type of wave can travel through both liquids and solids. It is the fastest seismic wave.
What is a p-wave?
400
This type of lava is responsible for cinder cone volcanoes because it is thick and sticky.
What is high viscosity lava?
400
This type of rock will form from cooling magma and have larger crystals.
What is an intrusive igneous rock?
400
Streak, Hardness, Luster, and color are all examples of this.
What is properties of rocks and minerals?
400
This is a transform fault in California.
What is the San Andreas Fault?
500
This is responsible for the movement of tectonic plates.
What is convection in the mantle or asthenosphere?
500
This type of volcano is often very tall and picturesque like Mt. Fuji.
What is a composite volcano?
500
This type of rock will form from molten rock that cools very quickly above the surface of the earth and will form little to no crystals.
What is extrusive igneous rock?
500
This type of sediment is likely to be found in the deepest part of the ocean.
What is a very small sediment like clay or fossils from sea life?
500
Tectonic plates sink beneath other tectonic plates due to this property of matter.
