1. Please enter your first and last name |
YOUR NAME |
2. What was the name of the theory that the continents were joined
together in one land mass called?
| CONTINENTAL DRIFT |
|
3. What were 3 pieces of evidence that supported continental drift?
| CLIMATE (plants from
warmer climates were found further north), FOSSILS (from distant
continents), LANDFORMS (coastlines fit together like a puzzle) |
|
4. What was the scientist’s name that came up with Continental
Drift?
| ALFRED WEGENER |
5. What was the name of the supercontinent that used to
be one
land mass?
| PANGAEA |
6. The process of sea-floor spreading happens along
which
boundary? |
DIVERGENT |
7. A weak spot in the Earth's crust where molten
material rises
is called a ______________? |
HOT SPOT |
|
8. Which boundary has crust that is neither created nor destroyed? |
TRANSFORM |
9. Convection currents in the mantle layer of the Earth are caused
by heat from which layer? |
CORE (the outer core portion of the core is believed to be molten) |
|
10. A spreading boundary is also called a _______________ boundary. |
DIVERGENT BOUNDARY |
|
11. A subduction zone is located at a _______________ boundary. |
CONVERGENT BOUNDARY |
|
12. The mid-ocean ridge is a place where __________ crust is formed. |
NEW |
13. The subduction zone at a convergent is a place where _________
crust is recycled. |
OLD |
|
|
|
14. What type of boundary is located at A? |
CONVERGENT BOUNDARY |
|
15. What type of boundary is located at B? |
DIVERGENT BOUNDARY |
|
16. What happens at boundary A? |
OLD CRUST IS RECYCLED, the dense oceanic crust dives
under the
less dense continental crust |
|
17. What happens at boundary B? |
NEW CRUST IS FORMED, sea-floor spreading |
18. The heat rising from the core of the Earth heats the mantle
causing what to occur? |
CONVECTION CURRENTS IN THE MANTLE, heated mantle rises and
cooler mantle falls |
|
19. Where is new crust formed? |
DIVERGENT BOUNDARY, mid-ocean ridge |
|
20. Where is old crust recycled? |
CONVERGENT BOUNDARY, subduction zone |
|
21. What type of boundary forms a fault? |
TRANSFORM IF THE TEMPERATURE OF THE ROCK INCREASES, THEN THE DENSITY OF THE
ROCK WILL DECREASE |
|
22. Seafloor spreading occurs at what type of boundary? |
DIVERGENT BOUNDARY |
23. What will happen if continental crust collides with
oceanic
crust? |
OCEANIC CRUST WILL SINK UNDER THE CONTINENTAL CRUST |
|
24. What is true about the density of rock? |
IF THE TEMPERATURE OF THE ROCK INCREASES, THEN THE DENSITY OF THE
ROCK WILL DECREASE |
|
25. Where is older rock located? |
NEAR SUBDUCTION ZONES NEAR CONVERGENT
BOUNDARY |
|
26. What will form if 2 continental plates collide? |
MOUNTAIN RANGE |
|
|
|
27. What is layer C called? |
OUTER CORE |
|
28. What is layer D called? |
INNER CORE |
|
29. What is layer B called? |
MANTLE |
|
30. What is layer A called? |
CRUST |
