Plate Tectonics

Heat is predictable and always flows from cooler objects to warmer objects

What is the correct order (starting from the surface) of the Earth's layers? 

What was the name of the Super Continent that existed approximately 240 million years ago?

What is Pangaea?

The transfer of heat by the movement of a heated fluid is called conduction

The Earth's outer and inner core is made of metal

The theory that states that pieces of the Earth's crust are in constant slow motion is

Scientists who study the forces that make and shape the Earth are called

The mantle is 

Where does subduction occur?

What type of evidence was NOT used by Wegener to support his theory of continental drift?

Which direction would heat flow if you had an ice cube in your hand?

Wegener's hypothesis of Continental Drift stated

What happens to the temperature and pressure as you move towards the center of the Earth?

Heat transferred in a fluid takes place by

If you touch a hot pan, energy moves from the pan to your hand.  This is an example of 

The outermost layer of the Earth is called the mantle

Most Geologists rejected Wegener's theory of continental drift because

Both Temperature and Pressure increase as you move towards the center of the Earth

How do Geologists observe the Earth's interior?

The solid Earth is layered with a cold crust, hot convecting mantle and a metallic core

Old/cold oceanic crust is more dense than young/hot oceanic crust becuase

Earth's inner core is

Scientists think that the convection currents flow in the Earth's 

What is the name of the process by which the ocean floor sinks beneath the deep ocean trench?

The transfer of energy through empty space is called

Where does the molten material rise up during sea-floor spreading?

Wegener provided evidence from land forms, fossils, and climate to support his theory

Oceanic crust near the mid-ocean ridge is younger than the oceanic crust farther away

When a heat source is removed from a fluid, the convection currents will
