100 Alfred Wegener Who is the person responsible for .Theory of Continental Drift	100 convergent, divergent, transform What are the three MAIN boundaries?	100 Continental Crust Which layer of crust is more dense than the other?	100 Fossil Correlation . Alfred Wegener cited 4 pieces of evidence for his theory of continental drift, one piece of evidence was that the Mesosaurus was found on the continents of Africa and South America - but they could not have crossed the Atlantic Ocean. What is this piece of evidence called in scientific terms?	100 Fault A break in a body of rock along which one block of rock slides past another block of rock is called a ___________.
200 Pangaea The supercontinent that existed about 200 million years ago was called _______.	200 When 2 plates come together What is a Divergent Boundary?	200 Mantle The thickest layer of the Earth is the ___________.	200 Apparent fit of the continents Alfred Wegener cited 4 pieces of evidence for his theory of continental drift, one piece of evidence was that the continents appeared to fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. What is this piece of evidence called in scientific terms?	200 Mid-ocean ridges Mountain chains found on the ocean floor are called ___________.
300 Continental Drift The theory that states that the continents once formed a single landmass, broke up and drifted to their current locations is called ___________.	300 Transform The San Andreas Fault is an example of what boundary?	300 Crust, Mantle, Outer core, inner core Which of the following correctly lists the four layers of the Earth from least dense to most dense?	300 Rock and mountain correlation Alfred Wegener cited 4 pieces of evidence for his theory of continental drift, one piece of evidence was that he found mountains in North America that were similar in age and made of the same material of mountains that were in Europe. What is this piece of evidence called in scientific terms?	300 seismic waves Some kinds of ___________ __________ cannot travel through liquids, that is how scientists know that the outer core is liquid.
400 German Meteorologist What was Alfred Wegener?	400 Plate Tectonics What is the theory that states that Earth’s lithosphere is broken into many pieces, tectonic plates, that move slowly over the asthenosphere?	400 Liquid Iron and Nickel What is the state of matter of the outer core? What is it made of	400 Paleoclimate data Alfred Wegener cited 4 pieces of evidence for his theory of continental drift, one piece of evidence was that coal was found in a place that is now cold and that glacial striations were found in places that are now hot. What is this piece of evidence called in scientific terms?	400 Mantle Convection currents occur in what layer of the Earth
500 1. Apparent Fit of the Continents 2. Fossil Correlation 3. Rock and Mountain Correlation 4. Paleoclimate Data What are Wegener's 4 pieces of evidence to explain Continental Drift	500 Convergent boundaries Mountains and Volcanoes are features of which plate boundary?	500 Mostly Solid What is the state of matter of the mantle?	500 Mesosaurus What is the name of the dinosaur whose fossils were found on different continents?	500 Thickest layer of the Earth What is a characteristic of the mantle?
