produced by earthquakes.
A 300
What are seismic waves?
A 300
These are the three main
layers that make up the
Earth’s interior.
A 400
What are the crust, the
mantle, and the core?
A 400
This causes Earth’s magnetic
field.
A 500
What is the inner core
spinning faster than the rest
of the Earth?
A 500
This is the movement of
energy from a warmer object
to a cooler object.
B 100
What is heat transfer?
B 100
These are the three types of
heat transfer.
B 200
What are radiation,
conduction, and convection?
B 200
This is an example of
radiation.
B 300
What is heat from the sun or
heat from a fire?
B 300

conduction.
B 400
What is a spoon heating up in
a pot of soup?
B 400
This is an example of
convection.
B 500
What is the movement of
soup in a heating pot? (Heat
moves up the middle, cools,
and then moves down the
inside edge of the pot.)
B 500
This is the name for the
supercontinent of all lands
joined together.

D 100
What is the mid-ocean ridge?
D 100
This is the device that
bounces sound waves off
underwater objects.
D 200
What is sonar?
D 200
This is what sonar is used for.
D 300
What is determining the
distance to an object and
mapping the ocean floor?
D 300
These are the three types of
evidence for sea-floor
spreading.
D 400
What are
molten material

different pieces of the
lithosphere meet.
E 200
What are plate boundaries?
E 200
This is a deep valley that
forms when two plates pull
apart.
E 300
What is a rift valley?
E 300
This is a break in the Earth’s
crust where rocks have
slipped past each other.
E 400
What is a fault?
E 400
This is the boundary caused
by plates moving apart.
E 500
What is a divergent
boundary?
E 500
This is the boundary caused
by plates moving together, or
“colliding”.
F 100
What is a convergent
boundary?
F 100
This is the boundary caused
by plates moving past each
other in opposite directions.
F 200
What is a transform
boundary?
F 200
As the plates collide, this
determines which plate comes
out on top.
F 300
What is density?
F 300
This is the word for one plate
moving under another.
F 400
