What are the 3 physical layers of the earth
(Hint one can be broken into two layers)
Crust
Mantle
Core (Inner & Outer)
This is the layer of earth that allows tectonic plates to move around
Athenosphere
List two types of volcanoes
Shield
Cinder Cone
Lava Domes
Composite
Stratovolcanoes
What is the "focus" in relation to an earthquake
The place in the earth along a fault in which the first motion of an earthquake occurs
List two types of mountains
Folded
Volcanic
Fault Block
The only liquid layer of the earth
Outer core
This type of boundary is know as a constructive boundary which type of boundary is it (<>)
Divergent boundary
The movement of materials due to differences in density’s and temperatures. This process allows the hot molten rock in the earth to move around and escape.
Convection
The location directly above the surface of the earthquake where the stress is released. This is where seismic waves radiate from
Epicenter
The process in which a rock changes shapes by stress.
Deformation
What are the 5 compositional layers of the earth
(Hint the first layer is a combination of the crust & upper mantle ,Second layer moves like rubber)
Lithosphere
Asthenosphere
Mesosphere
Outer Core
Inner Core
This type of boundary slides past each other which type of boundary is it (//)
Transform Boundary
Divergent boundaries create these which can make volcanoes in the middle of tectonic plates
Hot Spots
What is a fault
The crack in the earth that forms when large rocks or blocks break and move past each other. The sides of the faults are called fault blocks. The location that this happens is the fault plane.
This type of stress builds mountains by sliding the faults past each other
Sheer stress
What is the thinnest layer of the earth
Crust
This type of boundary is know as a destructive boundary can have subduction or collisions which type of boundary is it (><)
Convergent Boundary
Hot molten rocks inside the earth are called _____ and hot rocks outside the earth are called ______
Lava
Magma
These form when an earthquake releases its energy in the ocean.
Tsunami
This type of stress builds mountains by moving the faults away each other
Tension
What are two questions that can be asked to identify a layer of the earth.
Which layers are it between ?
How deep is the layers?
What is the composition of rocks in that layer ?
How thick is the layer?
How hot is the layer?
This is the landmass the existed before the the tectonic plates started to move along its boundary types
Pangea
This is the region of earth where most volcanic landforms are found
Bonus (Where is it located )
Ring of Fire
(Pacific Ocean )
Antarctica has the least amount of earthquakes in the world why do you think that is
Bonus (These are used to measure the strength of an earthquake 0
They are in the middle of their tectonic plate so the boundaries are effected as much as other place on earth
Seismograph
This type of stress builds folded mountains by sliding the faults into each other
Bonus (What are the folds called)
Compression
(Anticline Synclines)
