asthenosphere

Front

part of the mantle, CONVECTION CELLS are found here

Back

travel through the solid layers of earth they DO NOT travel through liquids they do not travel through the outer core

GEOLOGIC EVENTS such as 1),2)3),4)_ occur along plate boundries

1- earthquake 2- volcanic activity 3- mountain building 4- tsunamis

Back

list the four main layers of earth in order of decreasing density

Front

inner core, outer ore, mantle, crust

Back

the earths lithosphere is broken into large, rocky slabs called 1)_ THE LITHOSPHERE PLATES ARE RESTING ON TOP OF MAGMA IN THE ASTHENOSPHERE, WHERE 2)_________ ARE THE DRIVING FORCE MAKING THESE PLATES SLOWLY MOVE OVER TIE THE MOVEMENT OF THESE PLATES IS CALLED plate tectonics

Front

1-plates 2- convection cells

Back

#2: Rock correlations (matching)

Front

several mountain ranges on one continent continue onto another continent across the ocean

Back

mantle

Front

thickest layer, made of magma (molten rock), solid layer

Back

travel through solid and liquid layers inside earth

Front

p-waves

Back

continental crust

Front

thicker, less dense , made of granite

Back

evidence that supports continental drift

Front

-continents fit together like puzzle pieces -matching rock layers -matching fossils

Back

PLATE BOUNDARIES are where two plates

Front

meet

Back

explain how convection occurs in terms of, density , and movement of magma

Front

warmer less dense magma rises and cooler more dense magma sinks

Back

describe the process that most likely caused the change in positions of south America and Africa over the last 65 million years

Front

continental drift

Back

transform: when plates move 1)_ by 2)_ surface features: faults

Front

1-side 2-side

Back

list TWO difference between the continental crust and oceanic crust

Front

continental crust is less dense, oceanic crust is more dense\ continental crust is made of granite and oceanic crust is made of basalt

Back

the HYDROSPHERE is the layer of the earth's --------

Front

water (liquid)

Back

inner core

Front

made of SOLID iron and nickel

Back

divergent: when plates move --------- surface features: mid-ocean ridge, rift valley

Front

apart

Back

the earth has four interior layers:

Front

crust,matle,outer core, inner core

Back

list the four main layers in order of increasing density

Front

crust, mantle, outer core, inner core

Back

#3: Fossil Correlations

Front

the fossils on one continent math with the fossil on continents across the ocean,these organisms could not have crossed over,which lead us to believe that the landmasses were once together, so some organisms remained on each side as the continents slowly drifted apart

Back

crust

Front

outermost layer, thinnest layer,made of rock,solid layer

Back

convergent: when plates move ------------ surface features: mountains trenches

Front

together

Back

theory of continental drift

Front

the theory that the continents were once connected and part of a larger super-continent called pangea. it is believed that slowly overtime the continents drifted apart to there current location. this is a result of the convection cells in the asthenosphere moving like lithospheric plater

Back

oceanic crust

Front

thinner,more dense, made of basalt

Back

the LITHOSPHERE is the layer of the earth's ---------

Front

rock (solid)

Back

outer core

Front

made of LIQUID iron and nickel

Back

#1: continents fit together like puzzle pieces

Front

the coastlines of many of the continents seem to fit together, which lead us to believe that they were once together

Back

the ASTHENOSPHERE is the layer of earth's------

Front

air (gas)

why are the freshwater mesosaurus fossils found today in some rocklayers in both south american and africa?
