| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is GEOLOGY | The study of planet earth |
| What is a FORCE | a push or pull |
| What is a CONSTRUCTIVE FORCE | Shape the surface by billing up land masses |
| what is a DESTRUCTIVE FORCE | Force that slowly wears away land/landmasses |
| What is TEMPERATURE | rack starts out cool, but warmer every 20 meters |
| What is PRESSURE | the deeper you go, the more pressure is pushing on you (weight of the rock above you) |
| What is SEISMIC WAVES | a form of energy |
| What is INSIDE THE EARTH | crust ,mantle, outer core, inner core |
| What is EARTHS MAGNETIC FIELD | 1) The makeup of liquid outer core forces the inner core to spin. |
| What is HEAT TRANSFER | The movement of energy from a warm object to a cooler object. There re 3 types of Heat Transfer |
| What is RADIATION | The transfer of energy though empty space. Occurs with no direct contact |
| What is CONDUCTION | directed by contact of particles of matter is called conduction |
| What is CONVECTION | Involving the movement of fluids, liquids, and gas |
| What is CONTINENTAL DRIFT | Alfred Wagner formed a hypothesis that all the continents had once joined together in a single landmass and drifted away |
| What is PANGEA | When all the continents were once joined |
| What is SEA-FLOOR SPREADING | The continental process that adds new material and erupts to the ocean floor |
| What is MID-OCEAN DRIFT | A mountain range that is located under the oceans. |
| What is PLATE TECTONICS | A section of the lithosphere that slowly nave across the asthenosphere carrying pieces of the earth |
| What is TRANSFORM BOUNDARIES | a place were two plates slip past each other moving opposite directions |
| What is DIVERGENT BOUNDARIES | a place were two plates move apart |
| What is CONVERGENT BOUNDARIES | when two plates come together and causes a collision |
| Who is the scientist that disoverd continental drift | Alfred Wagner |
| What so scientist use to map the ocean floor | sonar |
| What is the order of the earth | crust, mantle, outer core, inner core |
| What is the name of the super continent | Pangea |
| What is what are 3 type of heat Transfer | radiation, convection, conduction |
| What happens to convection currents | If the liquid reaches surface the currants stop and id they become hot again the restart |
| What are 3 type of plate boundaries | divergent, transformed, convergent |
| what is the state of matter in the OC and IC | OC=LIQUID IC=SOLID |
| What are 3 pieces of evidence Wagner had to prove continental drift | landforms,fosils,climate |
