4 Layers of the Earth Hot Forces! Sea-Floor Spreading Pushing Boundaries Local Celebrities 10 Point 20 Points 30 Points 40 Points 50 Points 10 Point 20 Points 30 Points 40 Points 50 Points 30 Points 40 Points 50 Points Continental Drift

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?

47

48 What is a divergent boundary?

49

50 What is a convergent boundary?

51

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
