$300 Answer
The Mantle
$400 Question
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
Name the layer that contains
convection currents caused by the
rising and falling of magma:
$400 Answer
The Mantle
$500 Question
Why is the Outer Core
Liquid, and the Inner
Core solid, if both layers
have the same
composition?
$500 Answer
The Inner Core is under
a greater amount of
pressure, which causes it
to be compressed into a
solid state
$100 Question
• Pressure, temperature and density ALL
increase the deeper you go into earth’s
layers.
A. True
B. False
$100 Answer
True

TRUE OR FALSE: The continents (land) are less
dense than Tectonic Plates. The continents sit
above the Mantle and are never pushed below the
surface, unlike the Tectonic Plates, which can be
pushed and melted below the surface.
$500 Answer
True!
$100 Question
The scientist who proposed the
Theory of Continental Drift was
named _______ _________.
$100 Answer
Alfred Wegener
$200 Question
Which of the following was not EVIDENCE
that supported Wegner’s theory of
Continental Drift?
A. Fossils
b. Mountain Chains
c. Convection Currents
d. Continents fit like puzzle pieces
$200 Answer
c. Convection currents
$300 Question
Explain how Wegner used fossils of
tropical plants found on the
continent of Antarctica to support
his theory of Continental Drift.
$300 Answer
The presence of Tropical Plants
proves that Antarctica used to
be closer to the equator (& had
a warmer climate), so it must
have moved
$400 Question
Wegner’s theory of Continental Drift was not
widely accepted for decades because it failed
to explain HOW the continents drifted apart.
Current theories explain that the Tectonic
Plates move because :
a. Hot Spots under the Crust
b. Convection Currents in the Mantle
c. Hot Magma in the Inner Core
$400 Answer
b. Convection
Currents in the
Mantle
$500 Question
Name three of the four pieces of evidence Wegner
used to support his theory
$500 Answer
1. Continents appear to fit together like puzzle pieces
2. Fossils of the same species found on different
continents
3. Mountains chains, like the Appalachians, begin on one
continent and match up to another continent
4. Evidence of glaciers discovered on continents close to
the equator
$100 Question
Name the super continent that
existed on earth approximately
300 million years ago
$100 Answer
Pangaea
$200 Question
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
TRUE / FALSE: Plates below
us, and all over the world are
