  4. Plate Techs - 100 • Continents move around because of these currents in partly melted material below them. Answer

  5. Plate Techs - 200 • Convection currents that move the continents happen in this sub-layer of the Earth. Answer

  6. Plate Techs - 300 • This is the interface between the crust and the asthenosphere. Answer

  7. Plate Techs - 400 • This is the name given to the process of an oceanic plate sliding under a continental plate. Answer

  8. Plate Techs - 500 • This is the most common type of plate boundary in the middle of the oceans. Answer

  9. Reference Tables - 100 • This is the name of the upper mantle. Answer

  10. Reference Tables - 200 • This is the depth at the mantle outer core boundary?. Answer

  11. Daily Double!

  12. Reference Tables - 300 • The temperature at the inner core/outer core interface. Answer

  13. Reference Tables - 400 • The name of the plate that is 130 °E and 20 °N. Answer

  14. Reference Tables - 500 • The hemisphere (north or south) that most of the USA was in 458 million years ago. Answer

  15. Waves - 100 • Stops when it hits the outer core and WHY? Answer

  16. Waves - 200 • This wave vibrates perpendicular to its direction of propagation. Answer

  17. Waves - 300 • A P-wave will travel this far in 7 minutes. Answer

  18. Waves - 400 • A seismic station on the other side of the Earth will only pick up this type of wave. Answer

  19. Waves - 500 • This type of wave is made by compressing and expanding the rock material. Answer

  20. A Drift'n - 100 • When looking at Africa and South America, this was the first clue that the continents were once joined. Answer

  21. A Drift'n - 200 • This type of plate boundary causes the continents to split apart. Answer

  22. A Drift'n - 300 • This is the direction that the South American Plate is moving. Answer

  23. Daily Double!

  24. A Drift'n - 400 • Stripes on the ocean floor caused by this give further evidence that the continents are splitting. Answer

  25. A Drift'n - 500 • Since the continents have split, this type of crust is younger. Answer

  26. Earthquakes - 100 • This is the spot within the Earth where an earthquake starts. Answer

  27. Earthquakes - 200 • This rating system tells how much energy is released in an earthquake. Answer

  28. Earthquakes - 300 • This is how far away is the epicenter if the difference in arrival times between the P wave and S wave is 2 minutes. Answer

  29. Earthquakes - 400 • This is the minimum number of seismic stations needed to locate the epicenter of an earthquake. Answer

  30. Earthquakes - 500 • Hawaii is an example of this type of active region that is not on the edge of a crustal plate. Answer

  31. Answer Plate Techs - 100 • What are convection currents?

  32. Answer Plate Techs - 200 • What is the asthenosphere?

  33. Answer Plate Techs - 300 • What is the Moho?
