This is the “ology” that means the study of planet Earth.
What is geology? A 100
These are the two forces that shape Earth’s landforms.
What are constructive and destructive?
Rift valleys occur at these type of boundaries.
What are divergent boundaries?
These are the three main layers that make up the Earth’s interior.
What are the crust, the mantle, and the core?
Heat from the Earth’s interior is transferred to its crust by which type of current in the mantle?
What is convection current?
This is the movement of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object.
What is heat transfer? B 100
These are the three types of heat transfer. B 200
What are radiation, conduction, and convection? B 200
This is an example of radiation. B 300
What is heat from the sun or heat from a fire? B 300
This is an example of conduction. B 400
What is a spoon heating up in a pot of soup? B 400
This is an example of convection. B 500
What is the movement of soup in a heating pot What is the movement of soup in a heating pot? (Heat moves up the middle, cools, and then moves down the inside edge of the pot.) B 500
This is the name for the supercontinent of all lands joined together.
What is Pangea? C 100
This is the name of the scientist who developed the Theory of Continental Drift.
Who is Alfred Wegener? C 200
Any trace of an ancient organism preserved in rock is called this.
What is a fossil? C 300
DAILY DOUBLE DAILY DOUBLE Place A Wager C 400
These are three areas of evidence that support the Theory of Continental Drift.
Landforms Fossil Distribution Climate What are: Landforms Fossil Distribution Climate C 400
This is the scientific term for an educated guess.
What is a hypothesis? C 500
This is how plates split apart. D 100
What are divergent boundaries?
This is the crust that makes up the oceans. D 200
What is oceanic crust? D 200
This is the direction plates move in a convergent boundary.
What is towards each other?
Normal faults are the result of this type of stress. D 400
What is tension stress (rock pull apart)? D 400
This is where most major geologic events occur. D 500
What are plate boundaries?
This is the name for the broken sections of the lithosphere.
What are plates? E 100
These are the lines where different pieces of the lithosphere meet.
What are plate boundaries?
This is a deep valley that forms when two plates pull apart.
What is a rift valley? E 300
This is a break in the Earth’s crust where rocks have slipped past each other.
What is a fault? E 400
This is the boundary caused by plates moving apart.
What is a divergent boundary?
This is the boundary caused by plates moving together, or “colliding”. F 100
What is a convergent boundary? F 100
This is the boundary caused by plates moving past each other in opposite directions. F 200
What is a transform boundary?
As the plates collide, this determines which plate comes out on top. F 300
What is density? F 300
This is the word for one plate moving under another.
What is subduction? F 400
This landform is created when two continental plates collide.
What is the formation of mountain ranges?
