  • At what types of boundaries can earthquakes occur?
    All boundaries (Convergent, Divergent, and Transform)
  • What type of heat transfer doesn't require a medium? (sends heat waves)
    Radiation
  • Which plate does letter B represent?
    The Pacific Plate
  • If given three densities: | 5.7 | 3.0 | 13.0 | which one would represent the Earth's core?
    13.0 (densest layer)
  • Which layer of the egg would represent the Core and Why? A. The Shell because it's the outermost layer B. The Egg White because it's the layer beneath the crust C. The Yolk because it's the centermost layer
    C. The Yolk because it's the centermost layer
  • Why is little Susie's marshmallow getting hot even though it's not touching the fire? (Conduction? Convection? or Radiation?)
    Radiation
  • What are the two most common elements in the Earth's Crust?
    Oxygen and Silicon
  • What causes Earth's tectonic plates to move?
    The convection currents in the asthenosphere
  • Two convergent continental (land) plates that move towards each other will create what type of landform (geologic event)?
    Mountains
  • Which layer of the egg would represent the Mantle and Why? A. The Shell because it's the outermost layer B. The Egg White because it's the layer beneath the crust C. The Yolk because it's the solid center
    B. The Egg White because it's the layer beneath the crust
  • Which plate does letter G represent?
    The Antarctic plate
  • If given three densities: | 5.7 | 3.0 | 13.0 | which one would represent the Earth's crust?

    When two substances reach the same temperature
  • If given three densities: | 5.7 | 3.0 | 13.0 | which one would represent the Earth's mantle?
