Plate Tectonics Jeopardy! Continental Drift Pass me a plate May the force be with you Your all stressed out Along for the ride 100 100 100 100 100 200 200 200 200 200 300 300 300 300 300 400 400 400 400 400 500 500 500 500 500 Continental Drift 100 Points He is credited with helping to prove the theory of Continental Drift Categories Theme 1 Response 100 Points Who is Alfred Wegener Categories Continental Drift 200 Points Which piece of evidence for the theory of Continental Drift is not valid? Categories Continental Drift 200 Points The continents seem to fit together like pieces of a puzzle Categories Continental Drift 300 Points What was the final piece of evidence to help prove Continental Drift? Categories Continental Drift 300 Points Sea-floor spreading helped to proved that the continents moved. Categories Continental Drift 400 Points What was the name given to the ancient Super Continent that existed approx 200 million years ago? Categories Continental Drift 400 Points What is Pangaea Categories CONTINENTAL DRIFT 500 POINTS NAME (5) PIECES OF EVIDENCE THAT HELPED TO SUPPORT THE THEORY OF CONTIMENTAL DRIFT. Categories Continental Drift 500 Points • Rock type/Layers lined up. • Coal Deposits • Glacial Deposits • Salt Deposits • Identical Fossils • Coastlines lined up. • Mountain Ranges Lined up Categories Pass me a Plate 100 Points This is the term used to describe when one plate “dives” under another. Categories Pass me a Plate 100 Points What is Subduction Categories Pass me a Plate 200 Points New Crust is created here. Categories Pass me a Plate 200 Points What is the Mid-Ocean Ridge Categories Pass me a Plate 300 Points Crust is destroyed at this area on the Ocean Floor Categories Pass me a Plate 300 Points Deep Sea Trench. Categories Pass me a Plate 400 Points The force responsible for the movement of the plates that comes from the upper part of the Mantle is called? Categories Pass me a Plate 400 Points Convection Currents Categories Pass me a Plate 500 Points When two plates collide what factor will be responsible for determining which plate gets subducted? Categories Pass me a Plate 500 Points The density of the plate. The denser plate will subduct under the lighter plate. Ex- Ocean plate subducts under the continental plate Categories May the Force be with you 100 Points When plate edges move suddenly along a fault what will occur? Categories Pass me a Plate 100 Points Seismic activity- Earth Quakes Categories Pass me a Plate 200 Points This is the name given to the boundary when two plates slide past each other Categories Pass me a Plate 200 Points What is a Transform Boundary Categories Pass me a Plate 300 Points Continental to Continental collisions produce these landforms on the Earth? Categories Pass me a Plate 300 Points What are Mountains Categories Pass me a Plate 400 Points What 2 features are being created? Categories Pass me a Plate 400 Points What are Volcanic Arcs and a Trench. Categories Pass me a Plate 500 Points Is ocean floor being created, or destroyed? Explain. Categories Pass me a Plate 500 Points Destroyed by convergence into trenches. Categories You’re all stressed out 100 Points Observe the diagram. Which Stress is occurring at the San Andreas Fault? Categories You’re all stressed out 100 Points What is shearing. Categories You’re all stressed out 200 Points What is the name of the boundary that is characterized by shearing? Categories You’re all stressed out 200 Points Transform Boundary Categories You’re all stressed out 300 Points Which force helps to build mountains? Categories You’re all stressed out 300 Points What is Compression Categories You’re all stressed out 400 Points The Mid-Ocean ridge runs between S.America and Africa. What type of stress is occurring here? Categories You’re all stressed out 400 Points What is tension Categories You’re all stressed out 500 Points Observe the Graph. How long did it take for the First “S” wave to arrive? Categories You’re all stressed out 500 Points What is 12 minutes. Categories Along for the ride 100 Points Direction (Compass) the N. American Plate is moving. Categories Along for the ride 100 Points What is West Categories Along for the ride 200 Points Name the two colliding plates that have formed the Himalayan Mountains. Categories Along for the ride 200 Points The Indo-Australian Plate and the Eurasian plate Categories Along for the Ride 300 Points Explain how the size of the ocean floor remains relatively constant Categories Along for the ride 300 Points The rate of new ocean floor being created at the mid-ocean ridges, and the rate of ocean floor being destroyed at the trenches are virtually equal Categories Along for the ride 400 Points What is the name of the shaded area? Categories Along for the ride 400 Points “Ring of Fire” Categories Along for the ride 500 Points What occurs at this location? Categories Along for the ride 500 Points Seismic and Volcanic activity Categories This really proves that the Earth is all that it is “cracked-up” to be! Categories DAILY DOUBLE Categories
