Name:
Crust
Mantle
Ocean Basin
Tectonic Plate
Period:
Outer Core
Continental Drift
Pangaea
Asthenosphere
________________1. A great depression occupied by the ocean on the surface of the
lithosphere.
________________ 2. a rigid layer of the Earth's crust that is believed to drift slowly.
________________ 3. The movement, formation, or re-formation of continents described by
the theory of plate tectonics.
________________ 4. a theory explaining the structure of the earth's crust and how the
interaction of the rigid lithosphere and underlying asthenosphere causes movement.
_______________ 5. A supercontinent that included all of the land masses of Earth.
________________ 6. Earth’s molten liquid layer found between the inner core and the
mantle.
________________ 7. The thin outer layer of Earth that can be compared to an egg shell or
an apple skin; this is also where life is found on Earth.
________________8. Largest layer of the Earth’s interior structures. Composed of hot
dense rock where heat transfer occurs through convection.
________________ 9. A large segmented area of the lithosphere that reacts to tectonic forces
as one unit.
________________ 10. The solid center of the Earth made up of metals (mostly nickel and
Iron).It remains a solid because it is under great pressure and heat.
________________11. The layer of earth made of the crust and the rigid rock of the upper
mantle which is broken into tectonic plates.
________________ 12. The upper layer of the earth's mantle, below the lithosphere, allows
plate movement and heat transfer through convection.
BONUS: On the back define plate boundary. And explain 3 types.
