What are pressure and Temperature? GAME BOARD

Part of the mantle that is soft like plastic. Question

What is the Asthenosphere? GAME BOARD

Molten layer of Earth that creates Earth’s magnetic field. Question

What is the outer core? GAME BOARD

Layer made of the upper part of the mantle and the crust. Question

What is the lithosphere? GAME BOARD

Heat transfer within a material or between materials that touch. Question

What is conduction? GAME BOARD

Heat transfer that takes place in the movement of fluids. Question

What is convection? GAME BOARD

Transfer of heat energy through space. Question

What is radiation? GAME BOARD

Temperature, density , and gravity cause these movements. Question

What are convection currents? GAME BOARD

Layers of Earth where convection currents work. Question

What are the mantle and the outer core? GAME BOARD

German meteorologist who tried to explain plate movements. Question

Who is Alfred Wegener? GAME BOARD

Fossil of this fernlike plant supported Wegner’s hypothesis. Question

What is the Glossopteris plant? GAME BOARD

One of the land features that links us to one land mass. Question

What are coal fields or folded mountains? GAME BOARD

Means “all lands”. Question

What is Pangaea? GAME BOARD

Thick layers of moving ice used as climate evidence. Question

What are glaciers? GAME BOARD

Sea-floor spreading starts at these. Question

What are mid ocean ridges? GAME BOARD

Two pieces of evidence that support sea- floor spreading. Question

What are molten material, magnetic stripes, or drilling samples? GAME BOARD

The process where ocean floor sinks back into the mantle. Question

What is subduction? GAME BOARD

It’s what sinks when ocean crust collides with continental crust. Question

What is the ocean crust? GAME BOARD

It forms where ocean crust subducts below the continental crust. Question

What is a “deep ocean trench”? GAME BOARD

Separate broken sections of the lithosphere. Question

What are plates? GAME BOARD

It explains the formation, movement, and subduction of Earth’s plates. Question
