The Mantle What is the name of the thin layer that the crust and upper part of the mantle make up? The lithosphere The rock that makes up the mantle is similar to a certain substance. What is it? Silly Putty Name all 4 layers of the Earth, in order, starting from the outer most layer. Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core The Richter Scale measures the intensity of earthquakes. What is the lowest rating and the highest rating? 1-10 Seismic waves are the vibration that travels through the earth carrying energy that is released during an earthquake. What is the name of the instrument that measures these waves? Seismograph What is the term for the area where pressure is released through a crack in the Earth’s crust? A fault What are the three major types of faults? Normal Fault, Reverse Fault, Strike-Slip Fault What type of fault would create a waterfall? A normal fault What is the term for a mixture of gases and hot molten rock? Magma What is the name of liquid magma that reaches the surface of the Earth? Lava What is the name of area in the Pacific Ocean where many volcanoes and earthquakes occur? The Ring of Fire What do you call a huge piece of molten rock that can blast out of a volcano? Volcanic bomb What are three shapes of volcanoes? Shield, Composite Cone, Cinder Cone What is the name of an ancient organism that has been preserved in rock? Fossil This is the term for the study of Earth’s origin, history, and culture. Geology What erupts from a geyser? Hot steamy water True or False. The inner core of the Earth is hotter than the surface of the sun. True What are three types/stages of volcanoes? Active, Dormant, Extinct Who is the man that came up with the theory of continental drift? Alfred Wegener What was the name of the supercontinent? Pangea Floating pieces of the Earth’s lithosphere are called, what? (Remember the broken eggshell pieces represented these) Plates This is the theory that states that pieces of the Earth’s lithosphere are in a constant, slow motion, driven my currents in the mantle. Plate tectonics What is one piece of evidence that supports continental drift? * Fossils * Climate Change- glaciers formed deep scratches
