Earth's Interior for 200
Continental crust consists mainly of
the rock ______________.
Earth's Interior for 400
Scientists who study the forces that
make and shape the planet Earth are
called _____________________
Earth's Interior for 600
The _________________ is the part of the
mantle that can bend like plastic.
Earth's Interior for 800
The lithosphere includes all of the
_____________ and part of the mantle.
Earth's Interior for 1000
Name each of the layers of the Earth’s
interior from innermost layer to outermost
layer.
Convection and the Mantle for 200
In the convection current of a pan of
soup, the cooler, denser fluid ______
to the bottom.
Convection and the Mantle for 400
The transfer of energy through space is
called _________________.
Convection and the Mantle for 600
Heat transfer by the movement of a
heated fluid is called _____________.
Convection and the Mantle for 800
________________ is a measure of
how much mass there is in a volume
of a substance.
Convection and the Mantle for 1000
This is a description of what sets convection
currents into motion.
Drifting Continents for 200
This is who first proposed the theory of
continental drift.
Drifting Continents for 400
The supercontinent that began to break
apart a long time ago is called
___________.
Drifting Continents for 600
Fossils of tropical plants found on an
island in the Arctic Ocean are
evidence for Wegener’s hypothesis of
_________________.
Drifting Continents for 800
Scientists rejected Wegener’s theory
because he could not explain what force
pushes or pulls __________________.
Drifting Continents for 1000
Describe what scientists now know about
Earth that would have answered the
scientists who rejected Wegener’s theory.
Sea-Floor Spreading for 200
This is the process by which oceanic
crust sinks beneath trenches.
Sea-Floor Spreading for 400
This is what erupts through the valley
of the mid-ocean ridge.
Sea-Floor Spreading for 600
The process that continually adds new
material to the ocean floor is
_____________________.
Sea-Floor Spreading for 800
As oceanic crust moves away from the
___________________, it cools and
becomes more dense.
Sea-Floor Spreading for 1000
Describe the process of sea-floor spreading.
The Theory of Plate Tectonics for
200
A break in Earth’s crust where rocks
have slipped past each other is called
a ______________.
The Theory of Plate Tectonics for
400
Earth’s lithosphere is broken into
separate sections called __________.
The Theory of Plate Tectonics for
600
A _____________ boundary is a place
where two plates slip past each other.
The Theory of Plate Tectonics for
800
A rift valley forms along a __________
boundary on land.
The Theory of Plate Tectonics for
1000
In our model of sea-floor spreading, describe which type of
plate boundary was found at each of the two areas of
activity and tell which plate boundary was not
represented in the model.
Capture the Chapter for 200
This is where the lithosphere is located
on a model of the Earth’s interior.
Capture the Chapter for 400
This is the major difference between
the inner core and the outer core.
Capture the Chapter for 600
If a divergent boundary occurred on land,
this is the name of the land form it would
eventually create.
Capture the Chapter for 800
These are the three different types of
convergent boundaries that could occur on
Earth’s surface.
Capture the Chapter for 1000
This is the reason the oceanic and
continental crusts have different densities.
