Final Jeopardy
$100 Answer
The thinner, denser type of crust.
$100 Question
What is oceanic crust?
$200 Answer
The rigid layer is made up of
the crust and upper portion of the
mantle.
$200 Question
What is the lithosphere?
$300 Answer
A method scientists use to indirectly
study the interior of the Earth.
$300 Question
What are seismic
waves/Earth’s magnetic
field?
$400 Answer
The dense layer of solid iron and
nickel.
$400 Question
What is the inner core?
$500 Answer
The most massive of all
of Earth’s layers.
$500 Question
What is the mantle?
$100 Answer
The direct transfer of
energy through space.
$100 Question
What is radiation?
$200 Answer
A type of heat transfer
between materials
that are in contact.
$200 Question
What is conduction?
$300 Answer
Measure of how much mass there is
in a volume of a substance.
$300 Question
What is density?
$400 Answer
The transfer of heat by the
movement of a fluid (liquid or gas).
$400 Question
What is convection?
$500 Answer
Convection currents are found
in these two layers of the Earth
(be specific!)
$500 Question
What is the outer core and
mantle (asthenosphere)?
$100 Answer
The last supercontinent landmass.
$100 Question
What is Pangaea?
$200 Answer
He was one of the first to
propose the theory of
Continental Drift.
$200 Question
Who is Alfred Wegener?
$300 Answer
The reason the continental drift hypothesis
was initially rejected by the scientific
community.
$300 Question
What is no explanation for a force
that can move continents?
$400 Answer
Any trace of an ancient organism
that has been preserved in rock.
$400 Question
What is a fossil?
$500 Answer
All three main pieces of evidence
that support continental drift.
$500 Question
What is evidence from land features,
fossils, and climate.
$100 Answer
Location of sea-floor
spreading.
$100 Question
What are mid-ocean ridges?
$200 Answer
Process by which ocean
floor sinks beneath a deepocean trench and back into
the mantle.
$200 Question
What is subduction?
$300 Answer
Causes the ocean floor to
move like conveyer belts, creating
new land.
$300 Question
What is sea-floor spreading?
$400 Answer
The device used to map the
mid-ocean ridges.
$400 Question
What is sonar?
$500 Answer
The three main pieces of evidence
that support sea-floor spreading.
$500 Question
What are evidence of molten
material, magnetic stripes,
and drilling samples that show
old and new rock?
$100 Answer
Separate sections of the lithosphere.
$100 Question
What are tectonic plates?
$200 Answer
Type of boundary where
one plate can sink beneath
the other.
$200 Question
What is a convergent
boundary?
$300 Answer
Type of boundary where rift
valleys form.
$300 Question
What is a divergent
boundary?
$400 Answer
Type of boundary
where two plates slip
past each other, moving
in opposite directions.
$400 Question
What is a transform boundary?
$500 Answer
The types of plates that
collide to form large, folded
mountain ranges.
$500 Question
What are continental
plates?
Final Jeopardy
He is known for discovering
ocean ridges and proposing
the idea of sea-floor spreading.
