5
Name the four layers of the Earth from the outside to the inside
6
What are the crust, the mantle, the outer core, and the inner core?
7
These are the two metals that are found in the core of the Earth
8
What are iron and nickel?
9
This is created by the liquid outer core of the Earth moving around the solid inner core
10
What is the Earth’s magnetic field?
11
This is the plastic, upper portion of the mantle
12
What is the asthenosphere?
13
These two layers of the Earth combine to form the lithosphere
14
What are the crust and the mantle?
15
This is the transfer of heat through empty space
16
What is radiation?
17
This type of force builds up mountains and land masses
18
What are constructive forces?
19
________________ in the asthenosphere cause the movement of lithospheric plates.
20
What are convection currents?
21
Rain, wind, ocean waves, sleet, and hail are examples of these
22
What are destructive forces?
23
This is the heat source for convection in the asthenosphere
24
What is heat from the core of the Earth?
25
This “super- continent” began to break apart 225 million years ago
26
What is Pangaea?
27
He is the father of the theory of Continental Drift (5 bonus points if you know his middle name)
28
Who is Alfred Lothar Wegener?
29
This mountain range follows the coastlines of South America and Africa
30
What is the mid- Atlantic ridge?
31
The shapes of these coastlines provide evidence for Continental Drift
32
What are (S. America and Africa/ Africa and N. America/ N. America and Europe)?
33
Two (of the four) pieces of evidence that Wegener used to prove his theory
34
What are folded mountain ranges, coal beds, glacial deposits, and Glossopteris fossils?
35
The location of the newest/youngest rocks on the sea floor
36
What is close to the mid-ocean ridge?
37
This ocean is shrinking
38
What is the Pacific Ocean?
39
The location where the oceanic crust plunges under the continental crust
40
What is the deep- ocean trench?
41
This is what it’s called when the oceanic crust plunges under the continental crust
42
What is subduction?
43
These are two (of the three) ways that scientists proved that sea-floor spreading occurs
44
What are observing magnetic stripes, sea-floor drilling samples, and recognizing newly- formed rocks at the mid- ocean ridge
45
This is a break in the Earth’s crust where rocks have slipped past each other
46
What is a fault?
48
What is a divergent boundary?
50
What is a convergent boundary?
52
What is a transform boundary?
53
Earthquakes occur at this type of plate boundary
54
What is a transform boundary?
55
This is the name of a volcano in the Portland Area
56
What is (Mt. Tabor, Mt. Hood, the West Hills, Mt. Saint Helens, Mt. Rainier…)
57
This is the small lithospheric plate off the coast of Oregon and Washington
58
What is the Juan de Fuca plate?
59
The coastal mountain range was created by these types of forces
60
What are constructive forces?
61
This mountain range was created by the smashing together of the Juan de Fuca plate and the North American plate
62
What is the cascade range?
63
Mount St. Helens’ most recent eruption occurred in this year
64
What is 1980? (May 18 th, to be exact)
65
Make your wager
66
Draw a convection current in the asthenosphere. Label: lithosphere, mantle, core.
67
Lithosphere
