They didnt
6

8
Which of these is NOT a type of rock

Pressure
Color
Density
10
What tool is used to measure wind speed?

11
Why do convection currents move in the mantle?
The heat from the core rises and creates a current in the asthenosphere
The sun heats the crust which heats the mantle
Glaciers cause the crust to cool and sink into the mantle
The friction at moving boundaries creates heat and starts the current

water cycle
Atmosphere cycle
Rock cycle
15
How many total layers does Earth have?
7
4
3
6
16
Pick all that apply: What would happen if Earth had no atmosphere?
The days would be hot and the nights would be cold
There would be no sound
The Earth would not have nights
A new atmosphere would be created
17
What process is necessary to change an Igneous rock to a metamorphic rock
Cooling
Heat and pressure
Weathering and erosion
Melting
18
What process is necessary to change a Metamorphic rock to magma
Heat and pressure
Weathering and erosion
Melting
Cooling
19
When two continental plate regions collide, they will create
A mountain range
A rift valley and volcano
A mid-ocean ridge

Troposhere
Mesosphere
Thermosphere
Stratosphere
29
What was the evidence that supported the theory of Pangea?
