a supercontinent that was believed to be all the continents together.
What is Pangea?
200
crust and upper mantle
What layers make up the lithosphere
200
igneous rock
What type of rock is formed when lava cools and hardens?
200
.chemical weathering, mechanical weathering, soil erosion, water erosion, and deposition
What are the 5 geologic processes that shape the Earth as we know it today
200
convergent
What is the name of the boundary that has plates collide?
200
convection currents in the mantle
What is the energy source for the continental drift theory?
300
it increases
What happens to the heat and pressure as you go deeper into the Earth
300
?a rock Formed when sediments accumulate and compact and cement together.
What is a sedimentary rock
300
gravity, water, wind, ice (glacier)
What are the four types of erosion
300
divergent
What is the name of the boundary that has plates move away from each other?
300
a German polar researcher, geophysicist and meteorologist
Who is Alfred Wegener and what was his job?
400
the surface
Magma becomes lava when it reaches ___________
400
younger
Do rock layers become older or younger as you move deeper within the crust?
400
Weathering or erosion
The appalachian mountains which extend from Canada to Alabama were much taller in the past than they are today. Name a geologic process that decreased their height.
400
?under water volcano.
What is another name for a volcano formed from two plates colliding
400
Shape of continents, fossil records, rock and mountain formation, past climate data.
What are the four pieces of evidence that support Alfred Wegener's Theory of Continental Drift
500
?The outer core
Which layer of the earth is the heat source for convection currents in the mantle
500
Model the rock cycle
500
Chemical weathering alters the chemical makeup of rocks while physical alters the appearance. Ex: a rock will become holy in chemcial weathering, whereas a rock becomes sediments is physical.
What is the difference between chemical and mechanical weathering. give an example
500
.the two plates slip suddenly past one another creating a fault.
Describe how an earthquake happens at a transform boundary
500
They refused to believe that the Earth was moving and that is was firmly in its place. Plus, the scienctific community was very one track minded.
Why didn't the scientific community believe Alfred Wegener's idea about Continental Drift?
