True or False:The Earth has grown over hundreds of millions of years.
False. The earth has stayed the same size.
However, the Atlantic Ocean is growing because the seafloor is spreading.

Earth’s outer core is made of:
a.A very thick solidb.A very thick liquidc.Partly melted rockd.Combination of oxygen & other materials
b. A very thick liquid

Explain what convection is and where it happens.
Convection occurs in the mantle. When the thick liquid part of the mantle is heated it becomes lighter and floats above cooler liquid. As it rises it cools and becomes heavier. Then it sinks and is replaced by more hot liquid rising above it. This liquid again cools and sinks while being replaces. This transfer of thermal energy creates a current of movement and causes the plates floating on top of the mantle to move.

Continental Drift Theory
Daily Double Question!!!

What was the man’s name who thought of the Continental Drift Theory?
Alfred Wagener
100
![Page 9: Earth’s Layers TheoriesBoundariesEarthquakesVolcanoesOther 100 200 300 400 500.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062803/56649f165503460f94c2beaa/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

What is Pangea and how does it relate to the Continental Drift Theory?
This relates to the Continental Drift theory because Wagener believed the continents used to be one land mass before they drifted apart to where they are today.
Pangea is what Alfred Wagener named the large land mass that was when the Continents were all together.

Convection in the mantle
![Page 12: Earth’s Layers TheoriesBoundariesEarthquakesVolcanoesOther 100 200 300 400 500.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062803/56649f165503460f94c2beaa/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
500
Explain the difference between the Continental Drift Theory and the theory of Plate Tectonics.
Continental Drift Theory said that the continents drifted apart over time, but it could not explain how this could happen.
The theory of Plate Tectonics explains this movement by explaining that the earth’s lithosphere is split into about 20 tectonic plates that continuously move away from, into, and next to each other causing the continents to move.
