Rock Cycle - 300
A rock formed by the compacting and cementing of
sediment
What is a sedimentary rock?
Earth’s Layers - 400
The solid layer of Earth in which heat and pressure is
the greatest
What is the inner core?
Earth’s Layers - 500
The layer of the Earth composed of solid iron and
nickel
What is the inner core?
Tectonic Plates – 100
The rate at which tectonic plates move each year
What are centimeters per year?
Tectonic Plates - 200
Pieces of the lithosphere that move around on top of the
asthenosphere
What are tectonic plates?
Tectonic Plates - 300
Convection currents in the asthenosphere
What is the reason Earth’s major tectonic plates move?
Tectonic Plates - 400
Global positioning systems (GPS)
How do scientists track the motion of tectonic plates?
Tectonic Plates - 500
The process by which hot rock from deep within Earth rises and cooler rock near
the surface sinks
What are convection currents?
Types of Rocks - 200
Clastic, chemical, and organic
What are the three categories of sedimentary rock?
Types of Rocks - 400
When magma comes directly into contact with surrounding rock
What is contact metamorphism?
Types of Rocks - 500
How quickly igneous rock cools
What determines the textures/ size of crystals in
igneous rocks?
Physical Structures - 100
The outermost rigid layer of the Earth which contains the
crust and upper mantle
What is the lithosphere?
Physical Structures - 200
The strong lower part of the mantle, which extends to
the Earth’s core
What is the mesosphere?
Physical Structures - 300
The plastic layer of the mantle on which pieces of
the lithosphere move due to convection currents
What is the asthenosphere?
Physical Structures - 400
The physical structure on which tectonic plates rest
What is the lithosphere?
Physical Structures - 500
The physical structure which has only been accessed using sounding rockets
What is the mesosphere?
Final Jeopardy • You will choose one member from your team to represent your team.• Only the member you choose can answer the final Jeopardy question.• I will reveal the subject. • The team will decide how many points they will wager on the question and write it on a
piece of paper.• I will reveal the answer.• The chosen member will have 30 seconds to answer the question on the piece of
paper. • If you get it right, you will receive the points you wagered, times two• If you get it wrong, you will loose the points you wagered.
