2
Double Jeopardy List the 5 physical layers of the earth in order according to the diagram Then, list the 3 compositional layers of the earth Extra points if you can remember what materials compose those three layers 1 2 3 4 5
3
1 – Lithosphere 2- Asthenosphere 3 – Mesosphere 4 – Outer Core 5 – Inner Core The compositional layers are – Crust (Silicon/Basalt), Mantle, core (Nickle, Iron)
4
Match Double Jeopardy Crust Mantle Core Lithosphere Asthenosphere Mesosphere Outer Core Inner Core
5
Crust=lithosphere mantle = asthenosphere & mesosphere Core= Inner core & outer core
6
What is the upper part of the mantle called? What is the lower part of the mantle called?
7
Upper=asthenosphere Lower = mesosphere
8
What is the plate tectonic theory or the continental drift theory?
9
It is the theory that the earth was once one continent and that oceanic and continental crusts moved and separated due to convection and sea floor spreading
10
What can happen at a convergent boundary? What can happen at a transform boundary? What can happen at a divergent boundary?
11
Convergent: mountains, earthquakes and volcano’s. Transform: earthquakes and volcano’s Divergent: Sea floor spreading (mid ocean ridges), earthquakes and volcano’s
12
What are the 3 types of boundaries that tectonic plates form?
13
Convergent Divergent Transform
14
What are the 3 types of boundaries that tectonic plates form?
15
Convergent Divergent Transform
16
Using seafloor spreading as a model, describe the relationship between the lithosphere, the asthenosphere and the mesosphere.
17
When the sea floor spreads, the lithosphere (oceanic crust) gets a crack called a trench. The trench is caused by a pull of the asthenosphere (divergent boundary). This allows magma to flow up from the mesosphere (mantle) which was heated up by the core.
18
What causes the mid ocean ridges?
19
The mid ocean ridges are formed at the divergent plate boundaries under the oceans, on the ocean floor or the oceanic crust.
20
Sometimes two plate boundaries meet at a convergent area, and one plate is forced down under the other. What is this process called?
21
Subduction (slab pull)
22
What percentage of water on Earth is drinkable (potable)?
23
1 %
24
What are the main parts of the water cycle?
25
Precipitation evaporation condensation transpiration
26
Double Jeoardy Is all the water that falls to Earth as precipitation return back to the water cycle?
27
No, some is stored as groundwater and some is frozen as ice and snow.
28
Explain runoff
29
The soil is full of water and the excess water from rain flows over the land (causes water erosion)
30
What is exothermic? What is endothermic?
31
Exothermic: heat releasing Endothermic: heat absorbing
32
What are the three states of water?
33
Solid, liquid, gas
34
Explain if it’s an endothermic (absorbing heat) or exothermic (releasing heat) state change: Solid to liquid
35
Endothermic – it absorbs heat to allow the molecules to move
36
Explain if it’s an endothermic (absorbing heat) or exothermic (releasing heat) state change: Liquid to gas
37
Endothermic – it absorbs heat to allow the molecules to move
38
Explain if it’s an endothermic (absorbing heat) or exothermic (releasing heat) state change: Solid to gas
39
That is called sublimation and it’s an endothermic change of state. It has to absorb a lot of heat to allow the molecules to completely break away.
40
Explain if it’s an endothermic (absorbing heat) or exothermic (releasing heat) state change: liquid to a solid
41
Exothermic – it releases heat so the molecules can slow down
42
Where do most earthquakes happen?
43
Along tectonic plate boundaries.
44
Where are most volcanoes’ located?
45
Along tectonic plate boundaries.
46
Along which boundary do most mountains form?
47
Convergent boundaries.
48
What would cause a volcano to GROW?
49
A volcano would grow because of an eruption. The eruption would cause magma to flow and solidify, making the volcano wider and possibly taller.
50
An earthquake produces P and S waves. In what direction do these waves go from the epicenter?
51
All directions.
