All About That Crust
Answer: Plates
Question: What are the large sections of rock that cover the Earth’s surface?
Answer:
You will find it anywhere that you drill - if you drill deep enough...

Question: What are the large sections of rock that cover the Earth’s surface?
Answer:
Soft, solid layer
Question:
What is the mantle?
Identify 3 things wrong in this picture. (Show We Go Together 200)
Missing the trench
One plate should be going under (subducting)
Plates do not break into small pieces when the move into each other
Find 2 things wrong with this image: (Show Far, Far Away for 200)
This image is not showing the mantle rising up creating the mid ocean ridge
Sand and dirt do not fill in the space as the plates move apart
Answer - Earthquakes, mid ocean ridge,
divergent boundary (Show Mapz for 200)
Question -What does the blue line show?
Answer: Rock is brand new
Question:
What is the age of the rock at a divergent boundary?
Answer:
The cause of plate movement
(not looking for the boundary names)
Question:
What is the Inner core’s heat or convection currents?
Draw a convergent plate boundary with at least 4 labels
Show: Trench, Mantle, Plates, Volcanoes, More dense crust going underneath into mantle, Rock Being Destroyed, Etc.
Draw a divergent plate boundary and include at least four labels
Show: Ridge, Plates moving apart, rock being added, Earthquakes, Volcanoes, Mantle
Answer - Purple and Blue Colors (Show Mapz for 300 picture)
Question-
What is the oldest area of the crust?
The newest crust is found in the middle of the ocean, with the crust gradually aging as it approaches continental land.
This pattern provides evidence for what?
The tectonic plates in those areas have spread apart, moving the continents over time.
Answers:
Air quality, Climate, Landslides, Health threats
Question: What are effects of a volcanic eruption?
As the oceanic plate gets pushed into the mantle, material on it burns up. Energy from inside Earth is causing that material to melt to create more stability within Earth’s interior.
What happens to the melted material?
The melted material forces its way to the surface through volcanic eruptions. This creates more stability within Earth’s interior
Explain why changes in the age of the seafloor are happening over time.
Movement of tectonic plates cause magma to form newer crust at the divergent plate boundaries.
The map shows tectonic plate boundaries. The yellow star (bottom right) shows the location of Hunga Tonga and Hunga Ha’apai. Describe in two sentences. Explain why Hunga Tonga and Hunga Ha’apai experience frequent volcanic eruptions and earthquakes compared to other places around the world? (Show Mapz for 400)
Hunga Tonga and Hunga Ha’apai are located along tectonic plate boundaries.
