$100 Question from H1
The least dense and solid
portion of the Earth
$100 Answer from H1
What is the crust?
$200 Question from H1
The partially liquid middle
layer of the Earth. Like the
white part of an egg.
$200 Answer from H1
What is the mantle?
$300 Question from H1
This part contains the crust and
upper part of the mantle.
$300 Answer from H1
What is the lithosphere?
$400 Question from H1
These two layers are made
from the mantle. The first is
liquid like and the second is
more solid.
$400 Answer from H1
What is the asthenosphere and
mesosphere? (Must be in that order)
$500 Question from H1
Describe the core, both parts.
(This answer is not in the
traditional Jeopardy format.)
$500 Answer from H1
They are the densest parts of
the Earth. The outer core is
liquid and the inner core is
solid and mostly made out of
iron.
$100 Question from H2
These are extremely fine
pieces of rock that are
made in explosive volcanic
eruptions.
$100 Answer from H2
What is ash?
$200 Question from H2
These are types of pyroclastic
materials that are made when
magma cools in the air.
$200 Answer from H2
What are lapilli and volcanic bombs?
$300 Question from H2
These are large chunks of the
mountainside that are blown
away from the site in an
eruption.
$300 Answer from H2
What are volcanic blocks?
$400 Question from H2
This type of lava forms underwater.
$400 Answer from H2
What is pillow lava?
$500 Question from H2
Ouch! This type of lava is
sharp and jagged.
$500 Answer from H2
What is Aa?
$100 Question from H3
What occurs when two plates
collide.
$100 Answer from H3
What is a convergent boundary?
$200 Question from H3
When an oceanic plate collides
with a continental plate, this
process occurs and this reason.
$200 Answer from H3
What is subduction because the
oceanic plate is more dense?
$300 Question from H3
The major type of this
boundary exists near California
and causes major earthquakes
to happen there.
$300 Answer from H3
What is a transform boundary?
$400 Question from H3
Seafloor spreading and
midocean ridges occur at this
type of boundary.
$400 Answer from H3
What is a divergent boundary?
$500 Question from H3
This type of boundary is
creating the Himalayan
Mountains. Be specific.
$500 Answer from H3
What is a continentalcontinental convergent
boundary?
$100 Question from H4
At one point all the
continents formed one land
mass called this.
$100 Answer from H4
What is Pangaea?
$200 Question from H4
After Pangaea began to split
apart, two large continents were
formed.
$200 Answer from H4
What are Gondwana and Laurasia?
$300 Question from H4
This is how seafloor
spreading creates continental
drift.
$300 Answer from H4
What is by adding new crust at
a midocean ridge and pushing
the old crust further away.
$400 Question from H4
Continental drift also explains
what curiosity about some
fossils in the southern
hemisphere.
$400 Answer from H4
What is how the same fossil
plants and animals can appear
on continents that are separated
by thousands of miles of
ocean?
$500 Question from H4
Another piece of evidence for
seafloor spreading and
continental drift.
$500 Answer from H4
What is the magnetic reversals
in rock on the ocean floor?
$100 Question from H5
In its last eruption, Mt. St.
Helens went through what kind
of eruption?
$100 Answer from H5
What is explosive?
$200 Question from H5
These types of eruptions are the
most common and occur where
in the world.
$200 Answer from H5
What is nonexplosive and at
midocean ridges?
$300 Question from H5
What two chemicals will make a
magma more explosive?
$300 Answer from H5
What is water and silicon?
$400 Question from H5
This type of eruption occurred
most recently at Yellowstone and
this type of eruption of the
Yellowstone volcano has been the
most destructive.
$400 Answer from H5
What is nonexplosive and
explosive? (Must be in that
order.)
$500 Question from H5
Magma can make an eruption
be explosive by doing what
two things.
$500 Answer from H5
What is trapping gas bubbles
and blocking vents?
