Convection and the Mantle for 800 ________________ is a measure of how much mass there is in a volume of a substance.

Convection and the Mantle for 1000 This is a description of what sets convection currents into motion.

Drifting Continents for 200 This is who first proposed the theory of continental drift.

Drifting Continents for 1000 Describe what scientists now know about Earth that would have answered the scientists who rejected Wegener’s theory.

Sea-Floor Spreading for 200 This is the process by which oceanic crust sinks beneath trenches.

Sea-Floor Spreading for 400 This is what erupts through the valley of the mid-ocean ridge.

Sea-Floor Spreading for 600 The process that continually adds new material to the ocean floor is _____________________.

Sea-Floor Spreading for 800 As oceanic crust moves away from the ___________________, it cools and becomes more dense.

Sea-Floor Spreading for 1000 Describe the process of sea-floor spreading.

The Theory of Plate Tectonics for 200 A break in Earth’s crust where rocks have slipped past each other is called a ______________.

The Theory of Plate Tectonics for 400 Earth’s lithosphere is broken into separate sections called __________.

The Theory of Plate Tectonics for 600 A _____________ boundary is a place where two plates slip past each other.

The Theory of Plate Tectonics for 800 A rift valley forms along a __________ boundary on land.

The Theory of Plate Tectonics for 1000 In our model of sea-floor spreading, describe which type of plate boundary was found at each of the two areas of activity and tell which plate boundary was not represented in the model.

Capture the Chapter for 200 This is where the lithosphere is located on a model of the Earth’s interior.

Capture the Chapter for 400 This is the major difference between the inner core and the outer core.

Capture the Chapter for 600 If a divergent boundary occurred on land, this is the name of the land form it would eventually create.

Capture the Chapter for 800 These are the three different types of convergent boundaries that could occur on Earth’s surface.

Capture the Chapter for 1000 This is the reason the oceanic and continental crusts have different densities.
