Major Break-up You’re Trapped! In the ZONE Under Da Sea Picture this

The proposed supercontinent that began to break apart 200 million years ago and formed the current landmasses.

What is Pangaea?

This is the number of years ago that Pangaea began to break apart.

What is 200 million years?

The first supercontinent… that we know of!

What is Rodinia?

This is the number of years ago that Rodinia began to break apart.

What is 750 million years ?

People didn’t believe that the continents broke apart because Wegener could not provide a BLANK to explain how it happened.

What is a mechanism ?

Organic rocks from which petroleum is generated. Oil traps need these.

What is a source rock?

A type of petroleum trap where a fold in the sedimentary strata, resembling an arch, allows oil and gas to accumulate.

What is an Anticline Trap?

A necessary part of an oil trap. This type of rock is impermeable and hence keeps upwardly mobile oil and gas from escaping at the surface.

What is a cap rock?

The major oil and gas bearing area in Hibernia.

What is the Jeanne d’Arc Basin?

These oil traps form when strata are displaced in such a manner as to bring the dipping reservoir rock into position opposite an impermeable rock bed.

What are Fault Traps?

The zone that makes up western Newfoundland and is the Northernmost part of the Appalachian mountains.

What is the Humber Zone?

The central geological zone of Newfoundland is known as this and was created by the remains of the Iapetus Ocean.

What is the Central Volcanic Belt?

The zone in the East Coast of Newfoundland that contains rocks identical to ones in Africa.

What is the Avalon Zone?

A warm tropical sea that formed the Central Volcanic Belt when the continents surrounding it squeezed the ocean crust together.

What is the Iapetus Ocean?

A long, narrow zone where one lithospheric plate descends beneath another.

What is a Subduction Zone?

A continuous mountainous ridge on the floor of all the major ocean basins.

What is an Oceanic Ridge?

A long, narrow trough bounded by normal faults.

What is a Rift Valley?

A chain of volcanic islands generally located a few hundred kilometres from a trench, where there are active subductions of one oceanic plate beneath another.

What is a Volcanic Island Arc?

If the youngest seafloor is found at the ridge crest then BLANK would be found at the continental margins.

What is the Oldest Seafloor?

No part of the ocean floor that has been dated exceeds this date.

What is 180 million years old ?

What is this What is this ancient aquatic organism? Hint: Their fossils are limited to eastern South America and Southern Africa.

What is the Mesosaurus?

What is What is this type of petroleum trap?

What is a Salt Dome ?

These are all types of this petroleum trap.

What are Stratigraphic Traps?

What is this mineral?

What is a diamond?

What type of boundary is this?

What is a Transform Fault Boundary?
