Enumeration:

(16-20). Crust, Mantle, Outer core, Inner core

(21-23). Convergent boundaries, Divergent boundaries, Transform boundaries
(24-25). Love Wave, Rayleigh Wave
(26-30). Oxygen, Silicon, Aluminum, Iron, Calcium, Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium, Titanium, Hydrogen
(31-34). The continental jigsaw puzzle, Evidence from fossils, Evidence from rocks, Coal Deposit.

Define:

35. Continental drift - states that all the continents were once one large landmass that broke apart, and where the pieces
moved slowly to their current locations

36. Seafloor spreading - process by which new ocean floor is formed near the mid-ocean ridge and moves outward

37. Magnetic Reversal - happens when the North Pole is transformed into a South Pole and the South Pole becomes the
North Pole.

38. Convection Current - current in the mantle because of the heat from the inner layers of the Earth, and is the force that
drives the plates to move around

39. Seismic wave - waves of energy that travels through the Earth's layers, and are a result of earthquakes, volcanic
eruptions, magma movement, large landslides and large man-made explosions that give out low-frequency acoustic
energy.

40. Plate tectonics - a theory which suggests that Earth’s crust is made up of plates that interact in various ways, thus
producing earthquakes, mountains, volcanoes, and other geologic features
