| Interior Earth | ||
| #1 | Geologists obtain indirect evidence about Earth's Interior by..... | Seismic Waves |
| #2 | What is the correct order, starting from the surface, of Earth's4 layers? | Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core |
| #3 | The outermost layer of the Earth is called the..... | Crust |
| #4 | Does Pressure increase, does it decrease, or does it stay the same as you move to the center of the Earth? | Increases |
| #5 | What is the part of the mantle that is soft rock that bends like plastic and has convection currents? | Asthenosphere |
| Heat Transfer | ||
| #1 | The transfer of heat by the movement of heated fluid is called | Convection |
| #2 | The transfer of energy through empty space is called | Radiation |
| #3 | When the heat source is removed froma fluid, convection currents in the fluid will.... | Stop |
| #4 | Scientist think that convection currents flow in Earth's outer core and ..... | Mantle or Astenosphere |
| #5 | Which term describes the movement of energy when you touch a hot pot: A. Magnetic Energy, B. Indirect Evidence, C. Subduction, or D. Heat Transfer? | D. Heat Transfer |
| More Heat Transfer | ||
| #1 | Mantle material rises in convection currents because heated materials become MORE or LESS dense? | Less |
| #2 | In the mantle, heat is transferred as soft rock flows slowly in cycles called | Convection Currents |
| #3 | When you touch a hot plate the transfer of heat from the plate to your hand is called... | Conduction |
| #4 | The energy from the sun that warms your face is transferred by a process called | Radiation |
| #5 | Daily Double: Describe how convection currents work using the lava lamp or a pot of boiling water or the Earth's Mantle as an example | 1. Substance closest to the heat source becomes less dense and rises up 2. As the substance moves away from the heat source it becomes more dense and goes back down to the heat source. 3. The process repeats |
| Continental Drift | ||
| #1 | What is the name of the hypothesis that states the continents were once joined together in a single landmass? | Continental Drift |
| #2 | What is the name of the supercontinent that existed millions of years ago? | Pangaea |
| #3 | True or False - Alfred Wegener used the evidence from human remains to prove Continental Drift? | False |
| #4 | Why was Wegener's theory of Continental Drift rejected by scientists? | He could not explain the force moving the continents |
| #5 | Any trace of an ancient organism that has been preserved in rock is called a .... | Fossil |
| Alfred Wegener | ||
| #1 | True or False: Alfred Wegener theory was called "The Shrinking Earth" | False: Continental Drift |
| #2 | True or False: Wegener used fossils to prove his hypothesis of Continental Drift? | True |
| #3 | What did Wegener find on opposite sides of the ocean that meant that the continents of Africa and South America were once connected? |
Fossils of an Extinct Animal or The Same Mountain Range |
| #4 | In the rain forests, near the equators, Wegener found proof of Glaciers being there at one time. How could there be glaciers in the past in Africa and South America? |
Due to Continental Drift, Africa and South America used to be by the South Pole and freezing cold. |
| #5 | To prove Continental Drift, What did Wegener prove when he found that the mountains in North Amreica were the same as the mountains in Europe? |
That North America and Europe were once connected. |
| Final Question | |
What are the four types of evidence that Alfred Wegener used for his theory of Continental Drift? |
1. Continents fit like a puzzle 2. Fossil Correlation or Matching 3. Land Features or Landforms or Mountains and Rocks 4. Climate Change |
