Continental Drift Theory: The continents have moved over time.
What evidence supports this?
The continents fit together like pieces of a puzzle
Mountain ranges and similar rock types separated by large bodies of water line up
Glacial striations match up - evidence of glacier movement (scars on the rock) line up
Fossils of similar species separated by large bodies of water found near each other
The Earth’s crust is broken up into tectonic plates that float on top of
the mantle. The transfer of heat in the Earth’s interior generates
convection currents that drive the motion of the tectonic plates.
This is the theory of...?
Plate Techtonics
Sea Floor Spreading
Continental Drift
Heat Transfer
Write the density equation (use "p" key for density)
(a)
What makes up the outer core? Identify one major feature.
Solid iron and nickle
Convection currents in this layer are the source of Earth’s magnetic field
Liquid iron and nickle
Convection currents in this layer are the source of Earth’s hot-spots
Plate Boundary - Plates slide against each other
Divergent
Convergent
Subduction
Transform
Define Buoyant force.
An object in fluid with no forces
The force a fluid exerts on an object submerged in the fluid
What makes up Earth's inner core? Identify one major feature.
Solid iron and nickel
Liquid iron and nickle
Heat is trapped from the early formation of our solar system
Heat is trapped from the surrounding outer core
The Earth's core is in contact with the lower mantle, which is heated through
direct contact
Conduction
Convection
Radiation
What makes up the Earth's crust? Identify one major feature.
The thinnest, top most layer of Earth's surface
Composed of indigenous, sedentary, and Mediterranean rock
Composed of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rock
The thinnest, second top most layer of Earth's surface
(a) is the process by which the Earth's interior evolved to have distinct layers.
Earth's layers are differentiated by...
Mother Nature
density
composition
physics properties
What makes up the Earth's mantle? Identify one major feature.
Makes up only 80% of Earth's volume

Transfer of energy through light waves.
Convection
Radiation
Emission
Conduction
When the warm mantle rises it's because density is less and the
cold mantle sinks.
