Jeopardy Volcanoes, Mountains, and Earthquakes, Oh My! Wegener, What? Old, Dead Stuff in the Earth Hodge Podge $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $200 $200 $200 $200 $200 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $400 $400 $400 $400 $400 $500 $500 $500 $500 $500 What’s On Your Plate? Final Jeopardy 1 - $100 This move centimeters each year. About as fast as your fingernails grow. What are tectonic (lithospheric) plates? 1 - $200 The type of boundary shown. What is a divergent boundary? 1 - $300 This causes the tectonic plates to move. What are convection currents in the asthenosphere? 1 - $400 The three ways plates can move. What is convergent, divergent, and transform. 1 - $500 This is created along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where two oceanic plates are diverging. What is new ocean floor? 2 - $100 These are often formed when two continental plates collide. What are mountains? 2 - $200 This causes earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building. What is tectonic plate movement? 2 - $300 Convergent and transform boundaries (sometimes divergent, too) can produce this geological event. What are earthquakes? 2 - $400 This plate boundary neither creates nor destroys crust. What is a transform boundary? 2 - $500 What evidence do we use to determine the location of tectonic plate boundaries? What is the location of earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountains? 3 - $100 The name of Alfred Wegener’s theory. What is the Theory of Continental Drift? 3 - $200 Alfred Wegener used the coastlines of these two continents to spark his theory. What is the eastern coast of South America and the western coast of Africa? 3 - $300 The missing piece to continental drift that Alfred Wegener could not explain. What is the force that caused the continents to move? * (We know today that the convection currents in the mantle cause this movement. Lava lamp!) 3 - $400 The location of the Mesosaurus fossil was important to Alfred Wegener’s theory because of this. What is the fact that it was a freshwater creature separated today by the Atlantic Ocean and found where Africa and S. America would have joined? 3 - $500 The presence of coal in Northern Asia and Canada along with Antarctica supports the Theory of Continental Drift because of this. What is coal is found in areas of much plant growth (usually jungles)? 4 - $100 The oldest rock layer is located here. What is the bottom layer? 4 - $200 Fossils are mainly found in this type of rock. What is sedimentary rock? 4 - $300 Fossils in layer 4 are ______ compared to layer 3. What is younger? 4 - $400 Which parts of an organism are commonly fossilized? What are hard parts? (teeth, bones) 4 - $500 Clues we gather from fossils about Earth’s past. What are climate changes, types of organisms, and environmental conditions? 5 - $100 The following picture supports which scientific law? What is the Law of Superposition? 5 - $200 Earth’s strongest earthquakes occur along this type of plate boundary. What is a transform boundary? 5 - $300 This occurs when one plate slides beneath another plate. What is a subduction zone? 5 - $400 The fossils found on a Canadian mountain provide this clue. What is.. – the rock was formed underwater? – the environment has changed? 5 - $500 Volcanic islands, such as Japan, are formed when these types of plates converge. What are both oceanic? Final Jeopardy The rock cycle and tectonic action are related in this/these ways. What is… – Lava from volcanoes = igneous rock – Subduction zones = pressure and heat (metamorphic or igneous. – Divergent boundaries = new crust (rock) Name that Science Word!! convergent boundary sedimentary rock Theory of Continental Drift divergent boundary transform boundary subduction zone
