Earth Layers: $100
This is the only liquid layer of
the Earth
Answer: What is the outer core?
1,1
Heat Transfer: $100
This type of heat transfer
involves materials touching
Answer: What is conduction?
1,2
Continental Drift: $100
This is the name that Alfred
Wegener gave to the ancient
supercontinent
Answer: What is Pangaea?
1,3
Seafloor Spreading: $100
This is the physical feature that
results from seafloor spreading
Answer: What is a mid-ocean
ridge?
1,4
Plate Boundaries: $100
This type of plate boundary
involves plates sliding past one
another
Answer: What is a transform
boundary?
1,5
Earth Layers: $200
This layer is made of a dense
ball of solid metal
Answer: What is the inner core?
2,1
Heat Transfer: $200
This is what’s happening when
you are warmed by a fire
Answer: What is radiation?
2,2
Continental Drift: $200
One clue to support continental
drift was the fact that these were
found on an island in the Arctic
Answer: What are fossils of
tropical species?
2,3
Seafloor Spreading: $200
This is the process by which old
ocean crust is destroyed
Answer: What is subduction?
2,4
Plate Boundaries: $200
India is moving northward into
Asia at this type of boundary.
Answer: What is a convergent
boundary?
2,5
Earth Layers: $300
These two measurements
increase as you go deeper into
the Earth
Answer: What are pressure and
temperature?
3,1
Heat Transfer: $300
This type of heat transfer relies on
changes in temperature and density
Answer: what is convection?
3,2
Continental Drift: $300
Why is it significant that fossils such
as mesosaurus are found on opposite
sides of the Atlantic?
Answer: since they could not
have swam across, the continents must
have once been joined
3,3
Seafloor Spreading: $300
This is what determines which plate
will sink into the mantle at a trench
Answer: the older, denser plate
will sink
3,4
Plate Boundaries: $300
An island arc is a clue that you are
looking at this kind of boundary.
Answer: What is an ocean/ocean
convergent boundary?
3,5
Earth Layers: $400
The lithosphere consists of these
two Earth layers.
Answer: what are the upper
mantle and the crust?
4,1
Heat Transfer: $400
These two types of heat transfer occur
within and between Earth’s layers
Answer: what are conduction
and convection?
4,2
Continental Drift: $400
This is what Wegener inferred from
evidence of glaciers in Africa
Answer: Africa was once closer
to the South Pole – The climate of
Africa had been much
colder in the past
4,3
Seafloor Spreading: $400
This is where the youngest ocean
crust is in relation to the MOR
Answer: closest to the MOR
4,4
Plate Boundaries: $400
The Mid
Atlantic Ridge is an example of
this type of boundary
Answer: what is a divergent boundary?
4,5
Earth Layers: $500
Fill in the Blanks: The Theory of
Plate Tectonics
The earth’s crust is broken up into many
_________ that float on the ______________.
These plates are moved around by
____________ _____________ . New
seafloor is created at _________ boundaries
and recycled at ____________ zones at
convergent boundaries.
5,1
Heat Transfer: $500
This is the reason why your furnace
is in your basement and not
your attic
Answer: heated air is less dense
and therefore rises to warm
the rest of the building
5,2
Continental Drift: $500
This is what Wegener lacked that
would have made other scientists
accept his theory
Answer: what is an explanation of
how the continents moved?
5,3
Seafloor Spreading: $500
Fill in the blank: Hess Evidence
Hess’ research showed that the ocean crust
was ________ at the mid-ocean ridge and
_________ next to the continents. The
oldest ocean crust is only _________ of
million of years old while the oldest
continental crust was 4 billion years old.
5,4
Plate Boundaries: $500
Fill in the blanks – Wegeners Evidence:
The shorelines of __________ and __________
appeared to fit together like a ____________.
__________ of the same animals that could not swim
across oceans were found on different continents. The
Appalachian Mountains fit together in a long chain
with mountains in ____________ and __________.
The mountains were the same ________ and
________. __________ ___________ were found on
continents that are now warm.
