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.
