What’s On
Your Plate?
Final Jeopardy
1 - $100

This move centimeters each year. About as fast
as your fingernails grow.

What are tectonic (lithospheric) plates?
1 - $200

The type of boundary shown.

What is a divergent boundary?
1 - $300

This causes the tectonic plates to move.

What are convection currents in the
asthenosphere?
1 - $400

The three ways plates can move.

What is convergent, divergent, and transform.
1 - $500

This is created along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
where two oceanic plates are diverging.

What is new ocean floor?
2 - $100

These are often formed when two continental
plates collide.

What are mountains?
2 - $200

This causes earthquakes, volcanoes, and
mountain building.

What is tectonic plate movement?
2 - $300

Convergent and transform boundaries
(sometimes divergent, too) can produce this
geological event.

What are earthquakes?
2 - $400

This plate boundary neither creates nor destroys
crust.

What is a transform boundary?
2 - $500

What evidence do we use to determine the
location of tectonic plate boundaries?

What is the location of earthquakes, volcanoes,
and mountains?
3 - $100

The name of Alfred Wegener’s theory.

What is the Theory of Continental Drift?
3 - $200

Alfred Wegener used the coastlines of these two
continents to spark his theory.

What is the eastern coast of South America and
the western coast of Africa?
3 - $300

The missing piece to continental drift that Alfred
Wegener could not explain.
What is the force that caused the continents to
move? *
 (We know today that the convection currents in
the mantle cause this movement. Lava lamp!)

3 - $400

The location of the Mesosaurus fossil was
important to Alfred Wegener’s theory because of
this.

What is the fact that it was a freshwater
creature separated today by the Atlantic Ocean
and found where Africa and S. America would
have joined?
3 - $500

The presence of coal in Northern Asia and
Canada along with Antarctica supports the
Theory of Continental Drift because of this.

What is coal is found in areas of much plant
growth (usually jungles)?
4 - $100

The oldest rock layer is located here.

What is the bottom layer?
4 - $200

Fossils are mainly found in this type of rock.

What is sedimentary rock?
4 - $300
Fossils in layer 4 are ______
compared to layer 3.


What is younger?
4 - $400

Which parts of an organism are commonly
fossilized?

What are hard parts? (teeth, bones)
4 - $500

Clues we gather from fossils about Earth’s past.

What are climate changes, types of organisms,
and environmental conditions?
5 - $100

The following picture supports which scientific
law?

What is the Law of Superposition?
5 - $200

Earth’s strongest earthquakes occur along this
type of plate boundary.

What is a transform boundary?
5 - $300

This occurs when one plate slides beneath
another plate.

What is a subduction zone?
5 - $400

The fossils found on a Canadian mountain
provide this clue.

What is..
– the rock was formed underwater?
– the environment has changed?
5 - $500

Volcanic islands, such as Japan, are formed
when these types of plates converge.

What are both oceanic?
Final Jeopardy

The rock cycle and tectonic action are related in
this/these ways.

What is…
– Lava from volcanoes = igneous rock
– Subduction zones = pressure and heat (metamorphic
or igneous.
– Divergent boundaries = new crust (rock)
