Land forms
What are the 4 types of mountains?
Dome mountains, fault mountains, fold mountains, and volcanic mountains
What are the four layers of the Earth?
Inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust
How are volcanoes formed?
Volcanoes are formed when magma from within the Earth's upper mantle works its way to the surface.
How many plate tectonics are there?
The outer shell of the earth, the lithosphere, is broken up into tectonic plates. The seven major plates are the African plate, Antarctic plate, Eurasian plate, Indo-Australian plate, North American plate, Pacific plate and South American plate.
Which of the following is NOT an example of a mineral?
Basalt
How are volcanic mountains formed?
Volcanic mountains are formed when magma dries
What is the center of the Earth called?
Inner core
What do we call molten hot liquid rock while it is still below the Earth's surface?
Magma
Where is The Ring of Fire located?
On Earth where the big tectonic plates meet and push against each other.
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of a mineral?
Naturally, occurring, Solid,Organic, Crystal Structure
How are fault mountains formed?
Fault-block mountains are formed by the movement of large crustal blocks when forces in the Earth's crust pull it apart.
Why do do tectonic plates move?
Tectonic plates moves because of the liquid that comes from the mantle
What kind of rocks are formed when lava from a volcano cools?
Igneous rocks
What is the term for a heavier, denser plate sliding under a less dense plate?
Subduction
Which of the following is NOT a step used to ID a mineral?
-Color
-Origin
- Hardness
-Special Properties
Origin
How are fold mountains formed?
Fold mountains are formed when two plates move together
What is the final layer in the Earth?
Crust
Where are Volcanoes are usually located?
tectonic plates
What are two plates that rub past each other in opposite directions?
When oceanic or continental plates slide past each other in opposite directions, or move in the same direction but at different speeds, a transform fault boundary is formed.
Which of the following is TRUE about a mineral when compared to a rock?
-Rocks are a mixture of things while minerals are not.
- Minerals are a mixture of things while rocks are not.
-Rocks are classified based on physical properties, minerals are not.
- Minerals are classified based on origin, rocks are not.
Rocks are a mixture of things while minerals are not.
How are dome mountains formed?
Dome Mountains are formed from magma rising from the Earth's mantle into the crust that pushes overlying sedimentary rock layers upward to form a “dome” shape
What layer of the Earth is solid, iron and nickel?
Inner core
Where do Volcanoes open?
In the Earth's surface.
When two oceanic plates converge what landform is produced?
A subduction zone is also generated when two oceanic plates collide
