Plate Tectonics 17 Jeopardy Template

Volcano	Inside earth	Earthquake causes	Fossils	Mountains
100 How do Volcanoes form? On land, volcanoes form when one tectonic plate moves under another.	100 What is the inner layer of the earth? Inner core	100 What causes a earthquake? sudden movement along faults within the Earth.	100 What is a fossil? any preserved remains	100 What are mountain groups called? A mountain range or hill range
200 How are volcanoes distributed Most are concentrated on the edges of continents, along island chains, or beneath the sea forming long mountain ranges.	200 How many layers are there in the Earth? Three main layers	200 How do earthquakes cause damage? Can cause building to collapse, trigger landslides, avalanches, flash floods, fires, tsunamis.	200 How do fossils form? when a living organism dies and is quickly buried by sediment	200 Mountains provide water. True or False? True
300 Why do volcanoes erupt? Volcanoes erupt when molten rock called magma rises to the surface. Magma is formed when the earth's mantle melts.	300 What is the depth of the inner core of the Earth? 2,900 kilometres (1,802 miles)	300 Does the earth open up during an earthquake? No	300 How do we know the age of fossils? researchers use some type of clock to determine the date it was formed.	300 Mountains can disappear. True or false? True
400 How many active volcanoes are there in the world? 1350	400 What materials make up the inner core? iron and nickel	400 Will more shocks be felt after a strong earthquake? it is quite possible that people may feel more shocks.	400 What is paleontology? the branch of science concerned with fossil animals and plants	400 What are mountains made up of? Mountains formed from Earth's tectonic plates smashing together.
500 What makes lava rise? Magma can rise when pieces of Earth's crust called tectonic plates slowly move away from each other.	500 How deep is the Earth's crust? 5-70km	500 What is the relationship between volcanoes and earthquakes? volcanoes can trigger earthquakes through the movement of magma within a volcano.	500 What is the difference between paleontology and archaeology? Paleontology is the study of fossils, while archaeology is the study of human artifacts and remains.	500 Mountains are known to move and be created through tectonic movement. True or False? True
