What is outer part of the Earth called that we
live on?
The Crust
What is the name of the center of
the Earth?
Inner Core
What is the name of a scientist that studies rocks and
minerals?
Geologist
Which of the best describes the
Earth’s Mantle? A. Densest of the Earth’s layers
B. Home of all life on Earth
C. Thickest layer of hot rock
D. The thinnest and hottest layer
C. Thickest layer of hot
rock
Tectonic Plates make up Earth’s ..
A.Lower mantle
B.Lithosphere
C.Asthenosphere
D.Inner Core
B. Lithosphere
What is the Atmosphere?
It is a mixture of the gases
that surround the EARTH.
What does the HYDROSPHE make up on the
EARTH.
The Hydrosphere is made up of all the
water on the oceans, lakes, glaciers, rivers,
and streams.
What is a System?
An organized group of parts
that form a whole.
What major system makes up all life on Earth, in the air, on the land, and in the
waters. .
BIOSPHERE
What are the 4 layers of the Geosphere?
1. Crust2. Mantle3. Outer Core4. Inner Core
What is has more density? A
lead brick or wood size brick?
Lead Brick has a greater
density.
What is Convection?
Convection is a process by which energy is transferred in
gases and liquids, occurring when a warmer, less dense area of gas or liquid is pushed up by a cooler, more dense area of the
liquid or gas.
What is Continental
Drift?
The hypothesis that the Earth’s
continents move on Earth’s surface.
What does Subduction mean?
The process when by which an oceanic plate sinks under another plate into
the mantle.
What can occur at a Convergent Boundary?
Mountains or Volcanoes can form from the
plates collision.
What is a Tectonic Plate?
One of the large, moving pieces into the Earth’s
Lithosphere is broken and which commonly carries
both oceanic and continental crust.
Where is the LITOSPHERE made of?
It made of the CRUST and the top of the MANTLE.
The lithosphere is broken up into many
large rocks/slabs. What is the name of the
rocks/plates that move on it?
TECTONIC PLATES.
What was the name of GIANT continent that
existed 200 million years ago. It was made
of all 7 contents.
PANGAEA
DAILY DOUBLE
What is CONTINENTAL DRIFT? Give 3 examples of evidence that it happen.
A hypothesis that the EARTH’S continents
were once join in single landmass and gradually drifted or moved apart.
Evidence: Fossils, Climate, and Geology
.
How would you describe the speed of plate movement?
A.Rapid
B.Non existent
C.Inner Core
D.Very small or slow
D. Very small or slow
Plate motion is caused partly by?
A.Magnetic Reversals B.Convection CurrentsC.Continental DriftD.Volcanic Hot Spots
B. Convection Currents
.
When 2 plates collide together in a Convergent
Boundary, what do they form? Name one
example.
They form very large mountain ranges.
Mt. Everest Rocky Mountains
What is the difference between a Divergent
Boundary and a Convergent Boundary?
Divergent Boundary is where the plate pull apart.
Convergent Boundary is when the plates push
together.
Explain what a Hot Spot is and
what is capable of making.
A Hot Spot is an area where a column of hot material rises from deep within a plant’s mantle and heat s the lithosphere above it,
often causing volcanic activity at the surface. This is how HAWAII
was formed.
