2
The outer most layer of the Earth
3
The Crust
4
The layer of the Earth under the crust that is a
thick, hot liquid.
5
The Mantle
6
A very hot layer inside the Earth that is made up
of liquid iron and nickel.
7
The outer core
8
The solid centre of the Earth.
9
The inner core.
10
The reason why digging or drilling to the centre
of the Earth is impossible?
11
It is WAY TOO HOT! Also, there is too much
pressure.
12
The name of the first guy to hypothesis Plate
Tectonics?
13
Alfred Wegener
14

The name of the first supercontinent
15
Pangaea
16
Wegener used these leftovers from plants and
animals to support his theory.
17
Fossils
18
Wegener also thought these, including mountains
and coal deposits, supported his theory.
19
Landforms
20
Though Wegener thought of his theory in the
1920s, the idea wasnt widely accepted until
this in the 1960s.
21
New technology led to the discovery of sea-floor
spreading and mid-ocean ridges.
22
There are two different forms of crust on Earth.
23
Heavy and dense OCEANIC crust (mostly basalt) and
lighter CONTINENTAL crust (mostly granite).
24
Plates due to this movement in the mantle.
25
Convection currents
26
Where plate boundaries come together two things
can happen.
27
Convergent boundaries can result in a subduction
zone (when one plate is oceanic and sinks below a
continental plate) or create large mountain
ranges (when two continental plates collide)
28
When to plates move away from each other, it is
known as this.
29
Divergent Boundary
30
Two plates moving along each other, but in
opposite directions causes this type of fault.
31
Transform fault
32
The sudden release of energy caused by the
movement of plates.
33
An earthquake.
34
Small earthquakes constantly take place at these
boundaries where new crust is being formed as
plates move apart.
35
Divergent boundary (like at the Mid-Ocean Ridge)
36
The earthquakes we feel in Victoria are caused by
the release of energy from this type of plate
boundary.
37
Convergent boundaries
38
A large, sometimes destructive, wave generated by
an underwater earthquake.
39
Tsunamis
40
The three types of seismic waves.
41
P, S, and Surface Waves
42
The name for any opening in the Earths crust
through which molten rock and other materials
erupt.
43
A volcano.
44
Young and active volcanoes, that often erupt
underwater are common at these plate boundaries.
45
Divergent plate boundaries.
46
Highly explosive, large volcanoes that release
steam, ash and lava are common at these plate
boundaries.
47
Convergent plate boundaries where there is a
subduction zone.
48
Volcanoes that form in places that are NOT plate
boundaries form at these.
49
Hotspots
50
British Columbia has these kinds of volcanoes.
51
Convergent, divergent and hotspot.
