Layers of the Earth Types of Boundaries Wegener's Evidence Weathering and Erosion Locating Earthquakes
100
What is the inner core?
This is the inner most layer of the Earth.
100
What is 12?
There are this many major plates on the Earth.
100
What is the shapes of the continents?
This piece of evidence states that all the continents must fit together because their shapes seem to fit together.
100
What is weathering?
This is the process of breaking down rock/crust into smaller pieces.
100
What is a transform boundary?
This is the type of boundary that creates earthquakes.
200
What is increase?
As you go further into the center of the Earth, the temperature ____________.
200
What is a divergent boundary?
This type of plate boundary is created when 2 plates are moving away from each other.
200
What is matching fossils?
This piece of evidence states that the fossils are found on different continents and this supports the the idea that they were once connected.
200
What is erosion?
This is the process of carrying sediments to new places.
200
What is seismology?
This is the study of earthquakes.
300
What is the mantle?
This is the layer where convection currents move heat.
300
What is a transform boundary?
This type of plate boundary is created when the plates slide past each other.
300
What is matching rocks?
This piece of evidence states there are rocks/mountain ranges that continue from 1 continent to another.
300
What is deposition?
This is the process of leaving sediments in a new place.
300
What is a seismograph?
This is the instrument that measures the magnitude of an earthquake.
400
What is plasticy?
This term is used to describe the physical state of the mantle.
400
What is a convergent boundary?
This type of plate boundary is created when the plates are moving towards each other.
400
What is 1915?
This is the year that Wegener proposed the Theory of Continental Drift.
400
What is mechanical weathering?
This is when physical forces break rock into smaller pieces.
400
What is the richter scale?
This is is the scale that measures the magnitude of an earthquake.
500
What is the lithosphere?
This layer contains the solid part of the outer mantle and the crust.
500
What is a trench?
This feature is created when 2 oceanic plates converge.
500
What are glaciers?
This piece of evidence states that the scrape marks left by these shows that the continents were once connected.
500
What is chemical weathering?
This is the process where a chemical reaction changes the color or the surface of a rock.
500
This is the method used to find the epicenter of an earthquake.
This is the method used to find the epicenter of an earthquake.
