What is Pangea? A 100
This is the thinnest, outermost layer of the Earth. A 200
What is the crust? A 200
The hypothesis that continents have moved slowly to their current location is called this. A 300
What is continental drift? A 300
A 400 This is why continental drift occurs.

New crust is formed at this type of boundary. B 400
What is divergent? B 400
The collision of continental- continental plates is this type of boundary. B 500
What is convergent? B 500
Rocks formed from molten material C 100
What are igneous rocks? C 100
C 200 Rocks formed by changes in heat and pressure or the presence of hot, watery fluids.
What are metamorphic rocks? C 200
Process by which large sediments are glue together by dissolved minerals to form rock. C 300
What is cementation?
DAILY DOUBLE C 400 DAILY DOUBLE Place A Wager
Of the types of sedimetary rock, this type was formed from material that was once living. C 400
What is organic ? C 400
The movement of weathered rock fragments that helps to form sedimentary rocks. C 500
What is erosion? C 500
D 100 This glassy igneous rock has tiny holes

The underground center of an earthquake. E 500
What is the focus? E 500
F 100 Large, rising bodies of magma not at plate boundaries. These are associated with the formation of the Hawaiian Islands.
F 100 What are hot spots?
