Plate Boundaries
What is the crust broken up into?
Tectonic plates
When two Continental plates hit each other, what can be created?
Mountains
How does a Divergent Boundary lead to the Oceanic crust being "Recycled."
Magma from the mantle comes up as the plates move apart and adds new crust to the Ocean floor.
Why does the Crust float on top of the Mantle?
Where do I live?
Columbus
What is a plate boundary?
Where two plates are meeting.
When one Continental and one Oceanic plate hit each other, what is created?
Subduction zone
What natural disaster can come from Transform boundaries?
Earthquakes
Where is the heat coming from that causes the convection currents in the Mantle?
The Core
How old am I?
29
What Type of boundary is it where two plates are going towards each other.
convergent Boundary
What is happening at a Subduction zone?
One plate is going under the other.
What is created at a divergent boundary? (think back to the mapping activity)
Ridges
What is created in the Mantle due to the heat that makes the plates move?
Convection Currents
What video game to I despise (strongly dislike)?
Fortnite
Type of boundary where two plates are moving away from each other.
Divergent Boundary
Which plate always subducts (goes under). Why?
Oceanic, because it is more dense.
Which US State is known for having a transform boundary (worst state for earthquakes)?
California
Why are there Convection Currents in the Mantle?
As the Magma (liquid rock) in the mantle heats up by being close to the core it gets less dense and rises. Then when it rises it cools down and gets denser making it go back down towards the core. This causes the magma to move in a circular motion.
What state did I live in for 5 years
Connecticut
Type of boundary where two plates are moving against each other.
Transform Boundary
What landform is created at subduction zones?
Volcanoes
What landform can be created at Divergent Boundaries?
Volcanoes
What is it called when there is a random spot in the mantle that is hot and heats up the crust causing magma to come out. (This is how we have the Hawaiin Islands)
Hot Spots
What are my two favorite NFL teams?
Chiefs and Bengals
