Holes drilled several kilometers
into Earth’s crust provide direct
evidence about Earth’s interior in
the form of
rock samples.
Geologists obtain indirect evidence
about Earth’s interior by
recording and studying seismic waves.
What is the correct order (starting
from the surface) of Earth’s layers?
crust, mantle, outer core, inner core
Earth’s inner core
is made of
a dense ball of solid metal.
Using data from seismic waves,
geologists have learned that Earth’s
interior is made up of several
layers.
When you touch a hot pot or
pan, energy moves from the
pot to your hand. This is
called
heat transfer.
The transfer of energy through
empty space is called
radiation.
Heat transfer within a
fluid takes place by
convection currents.
When the heat source is removed
from a fluid, convection currents
in the fluid will
eventually stop.
The transfer of heat by the
movement of heated fluid is called
convection
According to Wegener’s
hypothesis of continental
drift,
the continents were once
joined together in a single
landmass.
What is Pangaea?
the name Alfred Wegener gave the
supercontinent that existed millions of
years ago
Alfred Wegener provided evidence from
landforms, fossils, and climate in support
of his theory of
continental drift
To support his hypothesis, Alfred
Wegener provided evidence from
_______________, traces of ancient
organisms preserved in rock.
fossils
Alfred Wegener provided evidence from
____, _____, and ____ in support of his
theory of continental drift
.
landforms, fossils, and climate
Where are Mid-ocean ridges are
found in_________________.
all of Earth’s oceans
What technology did scientists use in
the mid-1900s to map the mid-ocean
ridge?
sonar
The process by which the ocean floor
sinks beneath a deep-ocean trench and
back into the mantle is known as
subduction
Old oceanic crust is more dense than
new oceanic crust because it is
cool.
If subduction occurs faster than oceanic
crust can be created, an ocean will
shrink
The geological theory that states that
pieces of Earth’s lithosphere are in
constant, slow motion is the theory of
plate tectonics.
A place where two plates slip past each
other, moving in opposite directions, is
known as a
transform boundary
strike-slip boundary
conservative boundary.
The formation of volcanoes and
mountain ranges can be explained by the
theory of
plate tectonics
Along a ______ boundary, two plates slip
past each other, moving in opposite
directions.
Transform
strike-slip
conservative
A continental plate collides with an
oceanic plate at a(n) ________ boundary.
convergent
destructive
