Final Jeopardy
$100 Sea-Floor Spreading
This geologist suggested the hypothesis
of Sea-Floor Spreading.
Answer
• Who is Harry Hess?
$200 Sea-Floor Spreading
The center of a Mid-Ocean Ridge.
Answer
What is a Rift?
$300 Sea-Floor Spreading
This geologist who named the process when
new ocean lithosphere forms at a Mid-Ocean
ridge when magma rises.
Answer
Who is Robert Dietz?
$400 Sea-Floor Spreading
Discovered in the 1960’s this evidence
would support Sea-floor spreading
Answer
What is paleomagnetism?
$500 Sea-Floor Spreading
This rises and forms new ocean lithosphere.
Answer
What is Magma?
$100 Paleomagnetism
Residual magnetism of rock.
Answer
What is Paleomagnetism?
$200 Paleomagnetism
These are when the magnetic poles switch.
Answer
What are Magnetic Reversals?
$300 Paleomagnetism
This is when the magnetic minerals in rocks
point magnetic North.
Answer
What is Normal Polarity?
$400 Paleomagnetism
This is the pattern scientist created to
figure the polarity of rocks.
Answer
What is the geomagnetic reversal time scale?
$500 Paleomagnetism
This supported Hess’s theory by matching the
magnetic reversals to the patterns of the sea-floor.
Answer
What is Magnetic Symmetry?
$100 Plate Tectonics
This is the upper layer of the mantle
on the Earth’s crust.
Answer
What is the Lithosphere?
$200 Plate Tectonics
This form of crust is very dense and
filled with iron and magnesium.
Answer
What is Oceanic Crust?
$300 Plate Tectonics
This is the amount of major
tectonic plates scientist have found.
Answer
What is 15?
$400 Plate Tectonics
This is a sudden shift at a plates boundary.
Answer
What is a Earthquake?
$500 Plate Tectonics
This is the particular plate where the
Pacific Ring of Fire is found.
Answer
What is the Pacific plate?
$100 Plate Boundaries
This is the line between plates.
Answer
What is a Plate Boundary?
$200 Plate Boundaries
The boundary where to plates move
away from each other.
Answer
What is divergent boundary?
$300 Plate Boundaries
This is the boundary between two
plates that are colliding.
Answer
What is a convergent boundary?
$400 Plate Boundaries
The boundary between plates that are
sliding past each other horizontally.
Answer
What is a transform boundary?
$500 Plate Boundaries

Answer
What is subduction?
$100 Supercontinent Cycles
This is a supercontinent that formed
300 million years ago.
Answer
What is Pangaea?
$200 Supercontinent Cycles
This is the ocean that covered most of
Earth when Pangaea was present.
Answer
What is Panthalassa?
$300 Supercontinent Cycles
The process by which supercontinents
form and break up.
Answer
What is the supercontinent cycles?
$400 Supercontinent Cycles
These two continents formed approximately
150 million years after the breakup of Pangaea?
Answer
What are Gondwanaland and Laurasia?
$500 Supercontinent Cycles
This formed when Laurasia drifted
North and rotated slowly.
Answer
What is a rift?
Final Jeopardy
If continental drift plays out as it
should this peninsula will end up
in the current location of Alaska.
