The upper mantle and the crust
move together forming this feature
of the Earth______________.
Earth's Interior for 400
The thickest layer of the Earth.
Earth's Interior for 600
If you were to send a probe from the surface
to the center of the Earth, what differences
in temperature and pressure would it
measure?
Earth's Interior for 800
The lithosphere includes all of the
_____________ and part of the mantle.
Earth's Interior for 1000
Name the interior layers of the Earth.
Movement and the Mantle for 200
The tectonic plates are able to move
because of this rising and sinking of
the hot materials in the mantle.
Movement and the Mantle for 400
Heat is transferred from __________ to
the mantle, which is an example of
convection.
Movement and the Mantle for 600
Heat transfer by the movement of a
heated fluid is called _____________.
Movement and the Mantle for 800
The lithosphere moves on top of the
lower mantle so the mantle is either
more dense or less dense than the
lithosphere.
Movement and the Mantle for 1000
The movement of Earth’s tectonic plates has
this effect on the surface of the Earth.
Mountain Building for 200
The landform caused by plates pushing
against one another.
Mountain Building for 400
This type of mountain is formed on the
sea floor over a hot spot in the
mantle.
Mountain Building for 600
This type of mountain is formed when
plates move away from each other.
Mountain Building for 800
This longest mountain chain in the world is
found in the ocean.
Mountain Building for 1000
Name the two mountain ranges in the United
States and tell which one is older and tell
why.
Sea-Floor Changes for 200
This is the zone where the oceanic
crust sinks beneath continental crust.
Sea-Floor Spreading for 400
What is happening on the sea floor
where mid-ocean ridges usually
form?
Where two plates are diverging.

material to the ocean floor is
_____________________.

an oceanic plate meets a continental plate.
Tell why.
Broken Plates
for 200
California has two plates sliding past
each other, which results in these
catastrophic events.
Broken Plates for 400
The theory that states that the
continents move over time as a result
of sea floor spreading and subduction
of plates.
Broken Plates for 600
The Appalacian Mountains were
formed as a result of this impact.
The Theory of Plate Tectonics for
800
Continental plates crashing together
cause this type of mountain to form.
