Plate Tectonics- 100
Name the 3 main parts of the Earth.
The core, the mantel and the crust.
Plate Tectonics- 200
The asthenosphere and the lithosphere are found are what part of the Earth?
The crust.
Plate Tectonics- 300
What kind of current is responsible for moving the Earth’s crust?
Convection currents.
Plate Tectonics- 400
Who was the first scientist to propose plate tectonics?
A. Wegener
Plate Tectonics- 500
Give 3 pieces of evidence that support the theory of plate tectonics.
The same kind and age of rocks and plant and animal fossils are found on different continents. There are earthquakes and volcanoes.
Earthquakes- 100
What is the focus of an earthquake?
Where the earthquake started.
Earthquakes- DAILY DOUBLE!
What instrument is used to measure the size of an earthquake?
