Plate Boundaries
Mountain Building
Subduction
Volcanoes
Layers of the Earth
100
This plate movement means to move together
What is convergent plate movement?
100
Which land feature is associated with a continental-continental plate boundary
What is a mountain range?
100
These three things cause subduction
What are Slab pull, Ridge push, and Convection?
100
This is the source of magma in a hot spot.
What is the outer core mantle boundary
100
This is is a plastic like layer of earth on which the plates move and float around.
What is the Asthenosphere?
200
This plate movement means to slide alongside one another
What is transform plate movement?
200
This is the cause of the mountain building in the Himalayas
What is convergent plate boundaries?
200
Subduction zones occur where these plates collide
What is an oceanic plate and continental plate?
200
Gas and steam come from this part of a volcano
What is a vent?
200
This is the stone like layer of the Earth.
What is the lithosphere?
300
This is one of the moving, irregularly shaped slabs that make up the Earth's lithosphere
What is a plate?
300
This is the cause of mountain building in the African Rift Valley
What is a divergent plate movement?
300
Trenches and these would be found near subduction plate boundaries
What are volcanoes?
300
This type of volcano would be the most explosive
What is a strato or composite volcano?
300
This layer is the source of heat for convection
What is the core?
400
A rift valley is evidence of this kind of plate boundary
What is divergent?
400
This is the cause of the mountain building in Hawaii
What is a hot spot?
400
This is a chain of islands formed from subduction
What is a volcanic arc?
400
This is where most volcanoes occur
What is a convergent boundary?
400
This is the layer that is being convected with hot rock rising and cooler rock falling
What is the mantle?
500
This plate boundary is most responsible for the formation of new crust at the edge of a tectonic plate
What is sea floor spearing/ divergent plate movement?
500
This is how California was formed
What is accretion?
500
This long, narrow depression is formed when the sinking tectonic plate drags the sea floor downward.
What is a trench?
500
This is a large depression in a volcano
What is a caldera?
500
This is the thinnest layer of the Earth
What is the crust?
