Plate Boundaries
This type of plate boundary is when the plates are pushing together.
Convergent Boundary
This map shows boundaries between states using different color combinations.
Political Map
This is the movement of sediment from one place to another.
Erosion
These are mountains on the ocean floor that do not reach the water's surface.
Seamount
These mountains are formed when plate boundaries overlap.
Block Mountains
This type of plate boundary is when the plates are sliding side by side.
Transform Boundary
This type of map uses contour lines to show elevation.
Topographic Map
This is the wearing away of rock into smaller pieces that stay in one place.
Weathering
The bottom of the ocean that is wide and flat (actually the ocean floor).
Abyssal Plain
These mountains are formed when plate boundaries collide.
Folded Mountains
This type of plate boundary is when the plates are moving apart.
Divergent Boundary
This map uses blue to show water, green for lower elevations and brown for higher elevations.
Physical Map
Do weathering and erosion change Earth's features fast or slow?
Slow
At the end of a continental shelf, which drops off sharply like a steep cliff.
Continental Slope
The mountains that are formed when magma pushes up Earth's Surface but does not break through.
Dome Mountains
Fault lines occur with this type of plate boundary.
Transform Boundary
You will be able to see cities and capitals on this type of map.
Political Map
Why is it a good idea to have plants at the edge of a riverbed?
The roots will help stop Erosion.
Land moving away from the shore line that slopes downward and is considered part of the continent from which it extends.
Continental Shelf
What forms the seamounts (underwater mountains)?
Volcanoes
A rift valley will form from this type of plate boundary.
Divergent Boundary
How can you find the difference in elevation on a Topographic Map?
Subtract the Lowest Elevation from the Highest Elevation to get the Difference.
What are 4 things that play a role in both weathering and erosion?
Wind, Water, Ice and Gravity.
The deepest parts of the ocean.
Ocean Trenches
Do younger or older mountains have smoother peaks? (Appalachian Mountains are an example.)
Older
