Away Back to Game Plate Tectonics for $200 A plate boundary where the plates move together or crust is destroyed as one plate dives under is called a(n) ________________ boundary. Convergent Back to Game Plate Tectonics for $300 Plate boundaries that slide against each other often form faults are called a(n) _________ boundary. Transform Back to Game Plate Tectonics for $400 When two continental plates collide or converge _____________ are formed. Mountains Back to Game Plate Tectonics for $500 What causes the plates motion and where does this happen? Convection currents in the upper mantle cause the plates to move. Back to Game Sea-Floor Spreading for $100 The process in which molten material adds new oceanic crust to the sea floor. Sea-floor spreading Back to Game Sea-Floor Spreading for $200 What are the two types of crust? Oceanic and Continental Back to Game Sea-Floor Spreading for $300 Which crust is the most dense? Oceanic Back to Game Sea-Floor Spreading for $400 What occurs when continental and ocean crust collide? (what is the process called?) Subduction Back to Game Sea-Floor Spreading for $500 What are the three ways plates interact? Transform, Divergent, Convergent Back to Game Vocabulary for $100 What are the remains of once living organisms called? Fossils Back to Game Vocabulary for $200 A person who studies fossils is a…. Paleontologist Back to Game Vocabularyfor $300 The name of the single land mass that broke apart 225 million years ago into what is now our continents. Pangaea Back to Game Vocabulary for $400 The large pieces that the Earth’s lithosphere is broken into are called… Plates Back to Game Vocabulary for $500 A break or crack in the earths lithosphere along which rocks move is a…. Fault Back to Game Weather and Erosion for $100 The cycle which has caused the continents to change shape is what cycle? W-W-W Weathering Back to Game Weather and Erosion for $200 What are the three steps in the weathering cycle? Weathering Erosion Deposition Back to Game Weather and Erosion for $300 The process by which water, wind, ice or gravity moves fragments of rock and soil is…. Erosion Back to Game Weather & Erosion for $400 Give an entire example of the weathering cycle. Many possible answers… Back to Game Weather and Erosion for $500 What were the last two continents to break apart? South America And Africa Back to Game Contour Maps for $100 What do contour maps tell us about landforms? Their Elevation Back to Game Contour Maps for $200 When lines are really close together, what does it mean? The area is steep. Back to Game Contour Maps for $300 What color are highways on a contour map? Red Back to Game Contour Maps for $400 On this map what can the highest elevation be? 349 Back to Game Contour Maps for $500 What is the contour interval on the map? 10 How much do you want to risk? Who theorized the idea of plate tectonic? Alfred Wegener Which team won?
