$300 Name the three compositions of the mantle. Jeopardy Menu Earth’s Interior 1)Lithosphere  like the crust 2)Asthenosphere  soft, can bend like plastic 3)Lower mantle  solid

$400 A _______ ________ forms when the force of gravity at the surface closest to the moon is ___________ than the force of the moon’s gravity on Earth as a whole. Jeopardy Menu Tides General High tide, stronger

$500 Explain why the tide cycle is ~25 hours. Jeopardy Menu Tides General As the Earth rotates, the moon revolves around the Earth in the same direction.

$100 Fossils of Mesosaurus have been found in South America and Africa. Mesosaurus lived in freshwater and on land. How do Mesosaurus fossils support the past existence of Pangaea? Jeopardy Menu Theory of CD and SS Since Mesosaurus could only travel in freshwater, it could not have passed through oceans (salt water). Mesosaurus must have lived on both continents when they were joined.

$100 What is the difference between a focus and an epicenter of an earthquake? Jeopardy Menu Seismic Waves The focus is below the ground where the earthquake originated. The epicenter is the location directly above the focus where surface waves originate.

$200 Name one unique feature of surface waves. Name one unique feature of P waves. Name one unique feature of S waves. Jeopardy Menu Seismic Waves 1)Surface waves are the most destructive. They also are received last. 2)P waves travel faster than S waves and can travel through solid and liquid. 3)S waves cannot travel through a liquid.
