This is Earth Science Jeopardy Jeopardy Earth's Interior Movement and the Mantle Mountain Building Sea-Floor Spreading Broken Plates Fossil Evidence 200 200 200 200 200 200 400 400 400 400 400 400 600 600 600 600 600 600 800 800 800 800 800 800 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 Earth's Interior for 200 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. Sea-Floor Changes for 600 The process that continually adds new material to the ocean floor is _____________________. Sea-Floor Changes for 800 Where does volcanic activity build mountains on the sea floor? Sea-Floor Changes for 1000 Describe which plate will sink below when 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. Broken Plates for 1000 Fault block mountains can be described as having _________, ___________ peaks and are formed by this action. Fossil Evidence for 200 What evidence supported Wegener’s hypothesis of Continental Drift? Fossil Evidence for 400 Finding a fossil of a tropical plant on a frozen continent shows evidence of... Fossil Evidence for 600 What do fossils reveal about Earth’s climate and surface features? Fossil Evidence for 800 How are the ages of fossils found in bottom layers of sedimentary rock in the Grand Canyon compared to fossils found near the surface layers of sedimentary rock? Fossil Evidence for 1000 What do ocean fossils found in mountains show about that land? DAILY DOUBLE!! DAILY DOUBLE!! DAILY DOUBLE!! DAILY DOUBLE!! Final Jeopardy This is the definition for a scientific theory.
