$100 Question from H1

The least dense and solid portion of the Earth

$100 Answer from H1

What is the crust?

$200 Question from H1

The partially liquid middle layer of the Earth. Like the white part of an egg.

$200 Answer from H1

What is the mantle?

$300 Question from H1

This part contains the crust and upper part of the mantle.

$300 Answer from H1

What is the lithosphere?

$400 Question from H1

These two layers are made from the mantle. The first is liquid like and the second is more solid.

$400 Answer from H1

What is the asthenosphere and mesosphere? (Must be in that order)

$500 Question from H1

Describe the core, both parts.(This answer is not in the traditional Jeopardy format.)

$500 Answer from H1

They are the densest parts of the Earth. The outer core is liquid and the inner core is solid and mostly made out of iron.

$100 Question from H2

These are extremely fine pieces of rock that are made in explosive volcanic eruptions.

$100 Answer from H2

What is ash?

$200 Question from H2

These are types of pyroclastic materials that are made when magma cools in the air.

$200 Answer from H2

What are lapilli and volcanic bombs?

$300 Question from H2

These are large chunks of the mountainside that are blown away from the site in an eruption.

$300 Answer from H2

What are volcanic blocks?

$400 Question from H2

This type of lava forms underwater.

$400 Answer from H2

What is pillow lava?

$500 Question from H2

Ouch! This type of lava is sharp and jagged.

$500 Answer from H2

What is Aa?

$100 Question from H3

What occurs when two plates collide.

$100 Answer from H3

What is a convergent boundary?

$200 Question from H3

When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, this process occurs and this reason.

$200 Answer from H3

What is subduction because the oceanic plate is more dense?

$300 Question from H3

The major type of this boundary exists near California and causes major earthquakes to happen there.

$300 Answer from H3

What is a transform boundary?

$400 Question from H3

Seafloor spreading and midocean ridges occur at this type of boundary.

$400 Answer from H3

What is a divergent boundary?

$500 Question from H3

This type of boundary is creating the Himalayan Mountains. Be specific.

$500 Answer from H3

What is a continental-continental convergent boundary?

$100 Question from H4

At one point all the continents formed one land mass called this.

$100 Answer from H4

What is Pangaea?

$200 Question from H4

After Pangaea began to split apart, two large continents were formed.

$200 Answer from H4

What are Gondwana and Laurasia?

$300 Question from H4

This is how seafloor spreading creates continental drift.

$300 Answer from H4

What is by adding new crust at a midocean ridge and pushing the old crust further away.

$400 Question from H4

Continental drift also explains what curiosity about some fossils in the southern hemisphere.

$400 Answer from H4

What is how the same fossil plants and animals can appear on continents that are separated by thousands of miles of ocean?

$500 Question from H4

Another piece of evidence for seafloor spreading and continental drift.

$500 Answer from H4

What is the magnetic reversals in rock on the ocean floor?

$100 Question from H5

In its last eruption, Mt. St. Helens went through what kind of eruption?

$100 Answer from H5

What is explosive?

$200 Question from H5

These types of eruptions are the most common and occur where in the world.

$200 Answer from H5

What is nonexplosive and at midocean ridges?

$300 Question from H5

What two chemicals will make a magma more explosive?

$300 Answer from H5

What is water and silicon?

$400 Question from H5

This type of eruption occurred most recently at Yellowstone and this type of eruption of the Yellowstone volcano has been the most destructive.

$400 Answer from H5

What is nonexplosive and explosive? (Must be in that order.)

$500 Question from H5

Magma can make an eruption be explosive by doing what two things.

$500 Answer from H5

What is trapping gas bubbles and blocking vents?
