1,1 Earth Layers: $100 Answer: What is the outer core? This is the only liquid layer of the Earth

1,2 Heat Transfer: $100 Answer: What is conduction? This type of heat transfer involves materials touching

1,3 Continental Drift: $100 Answer: What is Pangaea? This is the name that Alfred Wegener gave to the ancient supercontinent

1,4 Seafloor Spreading: $100 Answer: What is a mid-ocean ridge? This is the physical feature that results from seafloor spreading

1,5 Plate Boundaries: $100 Answer: What is a transform boundary? This type of plate boundary involves plates sliding past one another

2,1 Earth Layers: $200 Answer: What is the inner core? This layer is made of a dense ball of solid metal

2,2 Heat Transfer: $200 Answer: What is radiation? This is what’s happening when you are warmed by a fire

2,3 Continental Drift: $200 Answer: What are fossils of tropical species? One clue to support continental drift was the fact that these were found on an island in the Arctic

2,4 Seafloor Spreading: $200 Answer: What is subduction? This is the process by which old ocean crust is destroyed

2,5 Plate Boundaries: $200 Answer: What is a convergent boundary? India is moving northward into Asia at this type of boundary.

3,1 Earth Layers: $300 Answer: What are pressure and temperature? These two measurements increase as you go deeper into the Earth

3,2 Heat Transfer: $300 This type of heat transfer relies on changes in temperature and density Answer: what is convection?

3,3 Continental Drift: $300 Why is it significant that fossils such as mesosaurus are found on opposite sides of the Atlantic? Answer: since they could not have swam across, the continents must have once been joined

3,4 Seafloor Spreading: $300 This is what determines which plate will sink into the mantle at a trench Answer: the older, denser plate will sink

3,5 Plate Boundaries: $300 An island arc is a clue that you are looking at this kind of boundary. Answer: What is an ocean/ocean convergent boundary?

4,1 Earth Layers: $400 The lithosphere consists of these two Earth layers. Answer: what are the upper mantle and the crust?

4,2 Heat Transfer: $400 These two types of heat transfer occur within and between Earth’s layers Answer: what are conduction and convection?

4,3 Continental Drift: $400 This is what Wegener inferred from evidence of glaciers in Africa Answer: Africa was once closer to the South Pole – The climate of Africa had been much colder in the past

4,4 Seafloor Spreading: $400 This is where the youngest ocean crust is in relation to the MOR Answer: closest to the MOR

4,5 Plate Boundaries: $400 The Mid Atlantic Ridge is an example of this type of boundary Answer: what is a divergent boundary?

5,1 Earth Layers: $500 Fill in the Blanks: The Theory of Plate Tectonics The earth’s crust is broken up into many _________ that float on the ______________. These plates are moved around by ____________ _____________. New seafloor is created at _________ boundaries and recycled at ____________ zones at convergent boundaries.

5,2 Heat Transfer: $500 This is the reason why your furnace is in your basement and not your attic Answer: heated air is less dense and therefore rises to warm the rest of the building

5,3 Continental Drift: $500 This is what Wegener lacked that would have made other scientists accept his theory Answer: what is an explanation of how the continents moved?

5,4 Seafloor Spreading: $500 Fill in the blank: Hess Evidence Hess’ research showed that the ocean crust was ________ at the mid-ocean ridge and _________ next to the continents. The oldest ocean crust is only _________ of million of years old while the oldest continental crust was 4 billion years old.

5,5 Plate Boundaries: $500 Fill in the blanks – Wegeners Evidence: The shorelines of __________ and __________ appeared to fit together like a ____________. __________ of the same animals that could not swim across oceans were found on different continents. The Appalachian Mountains fit together in a long chain with mountains in ____________ and __________. The mountains were the same ________ and ________. __________ ___________ were found on continents that are now warm.
