I have Layers
This is the thickest of the 4 primary Earth layer.
What is the mantle?
This boundary type is responsible for mountain building.
What is a convergent boundary?
This boundary type does not form Valleys.
This boundary type is responsible for island formation.
What is a Convergent Plate Boundary?
This layer type is the thicker portion of the crust.
What is Continental Crust?
This solid layer is comprised of mostly iron and nickle.
What is the Inner Core?
These large sheets of land comprise the Earths Crust
What is a Tectonic Plate?
This fault type is responsible for most Earthquakes.
What is a normal fault?
This Volcano forms from rising magma from the ocean floor.
What is a "hot spot" Volcano?
What rock type primarily comprises the ocean floor?
What is igneous rock?
The force that pulls the lithosphere.
What is Convection current?
This layer sinks below the other because it is less dense.
What is the Oceanic crust?
This boundary type can reroute the flow of rivers.
What is a Transform boundary?
Daily Double!!
This boundary is not responsible for creating volcanoes.
What is a Transform Boundary?
This phenomena constantly changed the layout of the Earths Surface over geologic time.
What is continental drift?
This liquid layers movement generates the Earth's magnetic field.
What is the Outer Core?
This mountain type is from the result of 2 plates colliding, but not subducting.
What is a folded mountain?
This Volcano type is known for its explosive eruptions.
What is a Composite (Stratovolcano)?
This Volcano is identified by its broad, gently sloping sides.
What is a Shield Volcano?
What causes the rotational behavior of the convection currents?
What is hot (less dense) material rises and cool (more dense) material falls?
This state of matter describes the Asthenosphere.
What is plastic?
How many major tectonic plates comprise the Earth's surface?
What is 14?
This fault is responsible for the strongest Earthquakes.
What is a reverse fault?
This volcano is formed from magma of melted oceanic crust.
What is a Subduction zone Volcano?
What was one of the primary pieces of evidence for major tectonic plate movement?
What are matching fossil records?
