2
Plate Tectonics II $ 200 What landform is created when two continents collide?
3
ANSWER: mountains
4
Plate Tectonics II $400 How do the plates move at a divergent boundary?
5
ANSWER: Move away from each other
6
Plate Tectonics II $600 Subduction is associated with which part of the ocean floor?
7
ANSWER: Trench
8
Plate Tectonics II $800 When two oceanic plates collide, which oceanic plate is subducted? WHY?
9
ANSWER: More dense is subducted, because it is older.
10
Plate Tectonics II $1000 What type of plate boundaries created each of the following landforms? a.Aleutian Islands b.Mid-Atlantic Ridge c.Andes Mountains
11
ANSWER: a. Aleutian Islands = Convergent b. Mid-Atlantic Ridge = Divergent c. Andes Mountains = Convergent
12
Volcanoes $200 What type of volcanoes have alternating layers of ash and lava and exist around the Ring of Fire?
13
ANSWER Composite volcanoes
14
Volcanoes $400 What type of volcano is the gradual sloping Mauna Loa volcano located on the Big Island of Hawaii?
15
ANSWER: Shield volcano
16
Volcanoes $600 Dust, ash and cinders mixed with extreme heat traveling down a volcano are an example of a______________________.
17
ANSWER: Pyroclastic flow
18
Volcanoes $800 What TWO ingredients are found in magma that creates violent explosive eruptions?
19
ANSWER: Silica AND water
20
Volcanoes $1000 Why are volcanoes considered constructive and destructive forces?
21
ANSWER: Create crust with lava eruptions; destroys crust with explosive eruptions
22
Rocks $200 What is the name of the clastic sedimentary rock that feels like sandpaper?
23
ANSWER: sandstone
24
Rocks $400 What is the name of an organic sedimentary rock that is made from ancient plant material?
25
ANSWER: Coal
26
Rocks $600 Granite has a texture of large crystals so it is classified as an ____________________ igneous rock.
27
ANSWER: Intrusive igneous rock
28
Rocks $800 Which rock type is most likely to have fossils preserved in it?
29
ANSWER: Sedimentary rock
30
Rocks $1000 What metamorphic rock will shale become under tremendous heat and pressure?
31
ANSWER: slate
32
Continental Drift $200 What is the name of the super continent that existed 250 million years ago?
33
ANSWER: Pangaea
34
Continental Drift $400 Who came up with the theory of Continental Drift?
35
ANSWER: Alfred Wegener
36
Continental Drift $600 How do coal deposits found in Antarctica support the theory of Continental Drift?
37
ANSWER: Coal forms in tropical areas, therefore Antarctica must have been located closer to the equator at one time.
38
Continental Drift $800 What ocean began to form 250 million years ago and continues to split apart the continents today?
39
ANSWER: Atlantic Ocean
40
Continental Drift $1000 Before the theory of Continental Drift became accepted, how did most scientists explain how similar fossils were found on continents like Africa and South America?
41
ANSWER: Land bridges
42
Geology Vocab $ 200 What type of volcanic activity created the Hawaiian Islands?
43
ANSWER: Hot Spot
44
Geology Vocab $ 400 What is the name of the scale that measures the magnitude of an earthquake using a seismograph?
45
ANSWER: Richter Scale
46
Geology Vocab $ 600 What term is defined as a naturally occurring solid mixture of minerals or organic matter?
47
ANSWER: A rock
48
Geology Vocab $ 800 Give one example of a destructive force found in geology besides volcanoes.
49
ANSWER: Erosion & weathering OR Subduction
50
Geology Vocab $ 1000 What is the name of the soft layer of the mantle that the lithospheric plates move on?
51
ANSWER: asthenosphere
52
Final Jeopardy Folded mountains usually form at the edge of tectonic plates. How can you explain folded mountain ranges located in the middle of continents?
53
ANSWER: These interior mountains must have one time been on the edge of a plate boundary that collided with another plate and fused together.
