This is the name of the supercontinent that existed millions of years ago:
Panorama
Pandora

Wegener
3
This layer is the thickest (biggest).
crust
inner core
mantle
outer core
4
This sublayer of the mantle is the strong, hard, and rigid section of the upper mantle:
mesosphere
lithosphere
asthenosphere
5
What is happening in this video?
radiation
magnetics
convection currents
6
The land features on different continents line up;
mountain ranges
in South America and Africa.
Landforms
Plant/Animal Fossils
Climate
Puzzle-like fit
7

Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift states:
the earth is slowly cooling and shrinking
dinosaurs died out because an asteroid collided with earth
the continents were once all connected in a single landmass
the continents aren't moving
9
The OCEANIC crust is made of mostly:
granite
copper
basalt
marshmallow fluff
10
This sublayer of the mantle is the solid but bendable part of the mantle:
lithosphere
mesosphere
asthenosphere
11
This is the layer we live on:
outer core
mantle
crust
inner core
12
This layer is the only liquid layer:
outer core
inner core
crust
mantle
13
The inner core is:
plasma
gas
solid
liquid
14
This layer moves to produce the Earth's magnetic field:
inner core
outer core
crust
mantle
15
The correct order of Earth's layers starting from the layer we live on:
crust, outer core, inner core, mantle
mantle, outer core, inner core, crust
crust, mantle, outer core, inner core
16
The reason the inner core is SOLID is because:
the atoms are afraid, so they cling together
it is very sticky so it forms a solid
the pressure is so great, the matter cannot become liquid
