26. Miscellaneous $200 Use space bar or right arrow on keyboard to see answer. Using any materials you have available, demonstrate the law of superposition. Older rock layers are always below newer rock layers, unless deformation has occurred. GAME BOARD

27. Miscellaneous $300 Use space bar or right arrow on keyboard to see answer. Explain this photo of the Hawiian Islands (how they were produced,their positions, etc.).FYI: those at top are oldest. GAME BOARD

28. Miscellaneous $300 Use space bar or right arrow on keyboard to see answer. Due to the hot spot beneath the Pacific Plate, as the plate moves in a north westerly direction, magma continuesto flow up throughthe plate creatingnew islands. Answer GAME BOARD

29. Miscellaneous $400 Use space bar or right arrow on keyboard to see answer. Describe the role of the asthenosphere in the movement of tectonic plates. Be sure to include the following terms in your description: convection, lithosphere, asthenosphere, putty-like, slow moving liquid. The slow moving, putty-likeliquid of the asthenosphere causes the tectonic plates of the lithosphere to continually move. This movement is caused by the rise and fall of the magma of the asthenosphere due to the convection current created by the intense heat of the earth’s core, GAME BOARD
