Theory of Continental Drift - 100
The scientist who developed the theory is this
person.
10
Theory of Continental Drift - 200
This is the supercontinent.
11
Theory of Continental Drift - 300
Landforms, climates, and this evidence support
the continental drift theory.
12
Theory of Continental Drift - 400
What force is believed to have moved the plates.
13
Theory of Continental Drift - 500
Give one example of evidence from climate.
14
Layers of the Earth - 100
This is the layer that has the most pressure.
15
Layers of the Earth - 200
This layer is mostly made up of large rocks of
basalt and granite.
16
Layers of the Earth - 300
As depth beneath Earths surface increases, both
temperature and pressure do this.
17
Layers of the Earth - 400
Convection currents are in this part of the
mantle.
18
Layers of the Earth - 500
The layer that is made out of hot, solid rocks is
called this.
19
Boundaries - 100
This boundary occurs along the mid-ocean ridge.
20
Boundaries - 200
The crust near the mid-ocean ridge is this when
compared to the older crust that is far away from
the ridge.
21
Boundaries - 300
This landform develops when two convergent
boundaries of continental crust collide.
22
Boundaries - 400
The place where two plates slip pass each other.
23
Boundaries - 500
The place where two plates of continental crust
diverge forms this landform?
24
Plate Tectonics - 100
When oceanic crust collides with oceanic crust
the older crust is subducted because of this.
25
Plate Tectonics - 200
This is how many major plates is Earth divided
into.
26
Plate Tectonics - 300
This ocean is shrinking because it has many long
subduction zones.
27
Plate Tectonics - 400
This is the name of at least 3 major plates.
28
Plate Tectonics - 500
Explain the relationship between plate boundaries
and the occurrence of earthquakes and volcanoes.
29
Pot Luck - 100
This is the process where older ocean crust
pushes under and melts into magma.
30
Pot Luck - 200
The technology that mapped the ocean floor.
31
Pot Luck - 300
The ship that took rock samples from the ocean
floor.
32
Pot Luck - 400
This part of the Earth is made up of the crust
and part of the mantle.
33
Pot Luck - 500
This is the geologic event that occurs at
transform boundaries.

53
CATEGORY 4 - 500
Earthquakes and volcanoes are located along plate
boundaries because this is where the crust is
being moved or subducted?

FINAL CATEGORY
What is sea-floor spreading? At the mid-ocean
ridge, new molten material rises. The material
cools. Then it is separated in both directions
as more new, molten rises. The material at the
center of the ridge is younger and as you move
away from the ridge, it becomes older.
