Fossil plant whose remains were found in Africa, South America, Antarctica, India, and Australia.

Glossopteris

What are the two smaller supercontinents that formed when Pangaea began breaking apart?

Laurasia and Gondwana

How many recording stations are needed in triangulation method?

3

Which is largest among the 7 major plates of the world?

Pacific Plate

What do you call to the soft, weak upper portion of the mantle?

Asthenosphere

Which type of crust is less dense?

Continental Crust

What do we call to thee ocean that surrounded Pangaea?

Panthalassa

What type of rock forms the oceanic crust?

Basalt

It measures the strength of shaking produced by the earthquake at a certain location and is determined from effects on people, human structures, and the natural environment.

Intensity

What are the 5 layers of the Earth according to the mechanical properties

Lithosphere, Asthenosphere, Mesosphere, Outer Core, Inner Core

What do you call to the point on the earth's surface vertically above the hypocenter (or focus)

Epicenter

Which type of waves is the slowest?

Surface wave

What do you call to the instruments used to record the motion of the ground during an earthquake?

Seismograph

Which waves can travel through solid part of the earth only?

S-wave

Where are volcanoes located?

Boundaries between tectonic plates

What do you call to the force that drives the plates to move around?

Convection Current

It refers to the long chains of mountains located on the ocean floor where seafloor spreading takes place.

Mid-oceanic ridge

The type of stress that pulls rock apart, common at divergent boundaries.

Tensional Stress

Which layer of the Earth is responsible for the Earth's magnetic field?

Outer Core

What makes up the lithosphere?

Crust and upper mantle

Which type of wave travels fastest to reach the recording station?

P-wave

Which theory suggests that the crust is made of plates that interact in various ways?

Plate Tectonics Theory

Who proposed the Continental Drift Theory in 1912?

Alfred Wegener

Which type of plate boundaries exhibits when two adjacent boundaries move towards each other?

Convergent plate boundary

Which layer of the Earth is made up of solid iron and nickel?

Inner Core

The type of plate boundary associated with seafloor spreading.

Divergent Plate Boundary

What geologic event is most likely to happen in the transform fault boundary?

Earthquake

What do you call to the outermost rigid layer of the Earth?

Lithosphere

The place where oceanic crust sinks back into the mantle, balancing the creation of new crust.

Subduction zone

What is the basis of scientists in dividing the Earth’s lithosphere into plates?

Location of active volcanoes, earthquake epicenters, and mountain ranges

What do you call to the location where two plates meet?

Plate Boundaries
