What is geology?

A 100

These are the two forces that shape Earth’s landforms.

A 200

What are constructive and destructive?

A 200

These are the waves that are produced by earthquakes.

A 300

What are seismic waves?

A 300

These are the three main layers that make up the

Earth’s interior.

A 400

What are the crust, the mantle, and the core?

A 400

This causes Earth’s magnetic field.

A 500

What is the inner core spinning faster than the rest

of the Earth?

A 500

This is the movement of energy from a warmer object

to a cooler object.

B 100

What is heat transfer?

B 100

These are the three types of heat transfer.

B 200

What are radiation, conduction, and convection?

B 200

This is an example of radiation.

B 300

What is heat from the sun or heat from a fire?

B 300

This is an example of conduction.

B 400

What is a spoon heating up in a pot of soup?

B 400

This is an example of convection.

B 500

What is the movement of soup in a heating pot? (Heat moves up the middle, cools,

and then moves down the inside edge of the pot.)

B 500

This is the name for the supercontinent of all lands

joined together.

C 100

What is Pangea?

C 100

This is the name of the scientist who developed the Theory of Continental Drift.

C 200

Who is Alfred Wegener?

C 200

Any trace of an ancient organism preserved in rock is

called this.

C 400

This is the scientific term for an educated guess.

C 500

What is a hypothesis?

C 500

This is the longest chain of mountains in the world.

D 100

What is the mid-ocean ridge?

D 100

This is the device that bounces sound waves off

underwater objects.

D 200

What is sonar?

D 200

This is what sonar is used for.

D 300

What is determining the distance to an object and mapping the ocean floor?

D 300

These are the three types of evidence for sea-floor

spreading.

D 400

What are molten material magnetic stripes

and drilling samples?

D 400

This is the name for deep, underwater canyons.

D 500

What are deep-ocean trenches?

D 500

This is the name for the broken sections of the

lithosphere.

E 100

What are plates?

E 100

These are the lines where different pieces of the

lithosphere meet.

E 200

What are plate boundaries?

E 200

This is a deep valley that forms when two plates pull

apart.

E 300

What is a rift valley?

E 300

This is a break in the Earth’s crust where rocks have slipped past each other.

E 400

What is a fault?

E 400

This is the boundary caused by plates moving apart.

E 500

What is a divergent boundary?

E 500

This is the boundary caused by plates moving together, or

“colliding”.

F 100

What is a convergent boundary?

F 100

This is the boundary caused by plates moving past each other in opposite directions.

F 200

What is a transform boundary?

F 200

As the plates collide, this determines which plate comes

out on top.

F 300

What is density?

F 300

This is the word for one plate moving under another.

F 400

What is subduction?

F 400

This landform is created when two continental plates

collide.

F 500

What is the formation of mountain ranges?

F 500
