Plate Tectonics
The edge where plates meet.
What is a boundary?
Three main sudden Earth Events.
What is Volcano, Earthquake, Tsunami?
Outer most layer of the Earth,
What is the Crust.
This mineral is the hardest on the Mohs Scale
What is a diamond
Mechanical, Chemical, Biological
What are the types of weathering
Plates usually carry both continental and *blank* crust.
What is Plates usually carry both continental and oceanic crust?
Used to measure an earthquake.
What is the Richter Scale?
Layers of the Earth
What is Crust, Mantle, Outer core, Inner core
This mineral is the weakest on the Mohs Scale
What is talc
The process of materials being laid down or deposited by wind, ice and water.
What is the process of Deposition?
Plates move toward each other at.....
What is converging boundaries?
An Opening in the earth's crust where molten spills out.
What is a Volcano?
Hottest layer, how hot can it get
What is the Inner core it can get up to 7000 degrees Celsius
The process of sediments being deposited, usually at the bottoms of lakes, rivers and oceans.
What is Sedimentation?
In this type of boundary plates slide past each other sideways.
What are Transform Boundaries?
First place the rock brakes,place directly above.
What is the Focus, Epicentre?
The liquid layers
What is the Mantle and Outer core
During this process material is not gained or lost it just changes form.
What is the process of Weathering/Deposition?
This boundary is one where two plates are moving apart, at this boundary lava flows from the ridge to form a new oceanic crust.
What is a diverging boundary?
Sudden breaking of rocks that releases energy waves through the Earth,
What are Seismic waves
The Inner core is made of
What is solid iron and nickle
The process of breaking down pieces of rock by physical forces like wind or water.
What is Mechanical Weathering?
