Earth’s Interior 100 Question: Which layer of earth is the thin, outer shell? Answer: Crust

Earth’s Interior 200 Question: Which interior layer of the Earth is very hot and liquid? Answer: Outer core

Earth’s Interior 300 Question: In what two ways are Earth’s layers categorized? Answer: Composition Physical Properties

Earth’s Interior 400 Question: Which sphere of the Earth contains the upper mantle and crust? Answer: Lithosphere

Earth’s Interior 500 Question: What are three of the four pieces of evidence that tell us about Earth’s interior? Answer: Seismic waves Mantle rocks Meteorites Density & Magnetic field

Tectonic Theory 100 Question: Does plate tectonics research affect society and science? Answer: Yes

Tectonic Theory 200 Question: What is one of the three causes of plate tectonic motion? Answer: Mantle convection Ridge push Slab pull

Tectonic Theory 300 Question: What are two pieces of evidence that supports the continental drift theory? Answer: Shape of the continents Rocks & Fossils Climatic evidence

Tectonic Theory 400 Question: Draw ridge push, slab pull, and convection currents. Answer:

Tectonic Theory 500 Question: How are continental drift and plate tectonics related? Answer: Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth is made up of plates that move. Continental drift is the hypothesis that the continents used to be one. Continental drift is caused by plate tectonics.
