Name: _______________________________________ Date: __________________ Period: ______ Study Guide for Outcome 7.4 Assessment: Continental Drift, Plate Tectonics, and Layers of the earth Directions: In order to be prepared for this assessment, you will need to be able to answer the questions on this study guide. Some items you can use as resources to help you study are… 1. Your “What Would Wegener Say?” speech bubbles 2. Your Alfred Wegener reading 3. Your “Reuniting Pangaea” map 4. How do you stack up activity 5. Your model and notes for sea floor spreading 6. Your cut and paste notes for plate boundaries 7. Your colored plates map 8. Your notes on plate tectonics 9. Your Looking for Patterns activity (maps for the activity are on the website) 10. Your Layers of the Earth diagram 11. Your notes on Layers of the Earth 12. Your Outcome 7.4 vocab sheet 13. How Water Changes Earth’s Surface Reading 14. Your weathering and erosion cut and paste Vocabulary Words to know… Continental Drift Theory Plate Tectonic Theory Sea-Floor Spreading Subduction Zone Mid-Ocean Ridges Convergent Boundary Divergent Boundary Transform Boundary YMS 7th Grade Science 2015-2016 Convection Currents Mantle Core Oceanic Crust Continental Crust Lithosphere Asthenosphere Study Guide for the Outcome 7.4 Assessment Name: _______________________________________ Date: __________________ Period: ______ Continental Drift 1. Can you identify similarities and differences between the Continental Drift theory and the Plate Tectonics theory? 2. Can you use evidence from a map to prove Continental Drift? a. This would be similar to your Reuniting Pangaea activity. 3. Can you determine the age of fossils based on a column of rock? a. This would be similar to your How do You Stack Up? activity. 4. The five pieces of evidence Wegener used to support Continental Drift theory correct. 5. What is continental drift? 6. How are the mid-ocean ridges related to sea floor spreading? Plate Tectonics 1. What are the three types of plate boundaries? 2. Which direction do the three types of plate boundaries move? 3. What features (mountains, volcanoes, earthquakes, subduction zones, trenches, etc) are associated with each type of plate boundary? 4. Can you determine areas of the United States that are at high risk for earthquakes by looking at an earthquake map? a. This would be similar to your Looking for Patterns activity. 5. What is plate tectonics theory? 6. Can you determine the type of plate boundary given a real-life picture? 7. Can you explain how a boundary creates a feature or landform? a. EXAMPLE – How does a convergent boundary between continental plates create a mountain range? Layers of the Earth 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Where is the lithosphere? What is the lithosphere made of? Where is the asthenosphere? What is the asthenosphere made of? Where is the mesosphere? What is the mesosphere made of? What is a convection current and how does it move the plates? How do convection currents cause sea-floor spreading? Weathering and erosion 1. Can you identify weathering and/or erosion from a picture? 2. Can you explain how the Earth was weathered and/or eroded from a picture? YMS 7th Grade Science 2015-2016 Study Guide for the Outcome 7.4 Assessment
