  4. True/False: Earth’s interior is composed of the crust, mantle, core and atmosphere? A 100

  5. False- Crust, Mantle, Core A 100

  6. How many ways do scientists determine what the inside of the Earth looks like and explain each A 200

  7. Rock Samples and Seismic waves A 200

  8. Describe each layer of the Earth in detail A 300

  9. Crust- Layer of Earth that forms Earth’s outer skin Mantle- Solid layer of hot rock underneath the crust. Split in to two parts (Lithosphere, Asthenosphere) Lithosphere- uppermost part of the mantle and crust together form a rigid layer Asthenosphere- Softer, but still solid layer underneath the lithosphere Core (Inner and outer) Inner- Solid dense ball Outer- made of liquid (Molten Rock) A 300

  10. The core is mostly made of what two elements? What does the core affect? A 400

  11. Nickle and Iron. The core affects the magnetic fields. (North and South Pole) A 400

  12. What is the difference between the lithosphere and the asthenosphere? Where are they located? A 500

  13. The lithosphere is the uppermost part of the mantle; it’s rigid. The asthenosphere is the layer directly below the lithosphere; it’s hotter and under more pressure A 500

  14. Describe Earth’s crust B 100

  15. Layer of solid rock that includes both the dry land and the ocean floor B 100

  16. What is Radiation? B 200

  17. Transfer of energy through space B 200

  18. Describe Conduction and Convection. Give an example. B 300

  19. Conduction- Heat transfer within a material or between materials that are touching Convection- Heat transfer by the movement of currents in a fluid B 300

  20. Describe the mantle and core. *Don’t forget to mention heat and pressure* B 400

  21. Mantle made up of rock and is very hot. Two layers: lithosphere, asthenosphere Core made mostly of nickel and iron. Two layers: inner and outer core B 400

  22. What are plates? Who discovered plates B 500

  23. Plates are pieces of the lithosphere broken into sections J. Tuzo Wilson B 500

  24. What is Continental Drift theory and who said it? C 100

  25. All the continents were once joined together in a single landmass and have since split apart Alfred Wegener C 100

  26. True/False: The supercontinent in Wegener’s hypothesis is called Algae C 200

  27. False, Pangea C 200

  28. What does Pangea mean? C 300

  29. “All Lands” C 300

  30. DAILY DOUBLE DAILY DOUBLE Place A Wager C 400

  31. What are the different types of evidence that Wegener used to support his theory? C 400

  32. Fossils, Land Features and Climate C 400

  33. Was Wegener’s Hypothesis Accepted by his peers? Why or Why not? C 500

  34. His theory was rejected because he was not able to describe the force that pushes or pulls the continents. The theory that helped explain this was the Plate Tectonic Theory C 500

  35. How does temperature and pressure change as you go deeper in the Earth? D 100

  36. They Increase D 100

  37. What is the process the powers plate tectonics? D 200

  38. Convection D 200

  39. True/False: Slow Movements of mantle rock called radiation transfers heat in the mantle D 300

  40. Convection D 300

  41. Why are there Convection currents in the mantle? D 400

  42. Rocks near the bottom of the mantle gets very hot, and over millions of years, moves upward. Rocks near the top cool and sink. D 400

  43. What is a theory? Name a theory which is accepted and a theory which is not. D 500

  44. A well tested concept that explains a wide range of observations. Continental drift theory is not accepted, while Plate Tectonics theory is accepted. Observations were supported by evidence D 500

  45. What is the Theory of Plate Tectonics? E 100

  46. It explains the formation, movement, and Subduction of Earth’s Plates E 100

  47. What is the major force of plate movement? E 200

  48. Convection currents in the Mantle E 200

  49. What are the different types of Plate Boundaries? Explain each E 300

  50. The place where two plates move apart , or diverge is called divergent boundaries The place where two plates come together, or converge is called convergent boundary A place where two plates slip past each other, moving in opposite directions called Transform Boundaries. E 300
