JEOPARDY Mrs. Keller’s th 6 Grade Science Chapter 8 - Plate Tectonics THE RULES Everyone will actively participate. Each team will decide on a “batting order”. Please write it down. No penalties for wrong answers, so try. Each team will be rewarded with points. Be positive, encourage your teammates. Teacher is the Judge, all decisions are final. Jeopardy Round Categories are: Plate Tectonics Supercontinent Plate Boundaries Metamorphic Rocks Moving Plates Jeopardy Plate Tectonics Supercontinent Plate Boundaries Metamorphic Rocks Moving Plates 200 200 200 200 200 400 400 400 400 400 600 600 600 600 600 800 800 800 800 800 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 End of Round $200 What type of landform is formed by a mantle plume hot spot?
