Layers
3 compositional layers of earth
What are crust, mantle, and core.
fit together like a puzzle
What are tectonic plates?
boundary where plates move past each other horizontally
What is transform
fault line and earthquakes
What is transform boundary?
Himalayas or Appalachians
What is Convergent Continental?
5 physical layers of Earth
lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer core, inner core
make up tectonic plates (2 things)
What is crust and upper mantle?
boundary where plates move away from each other
What is divergent
Rift Valleys or Mid-Ocean Ridges
What is divergent boundary?
East African Rift Valley
What is divergent continental?
solid iron
What is the inner core
area where two tectonic plates meet
What is a boundary?
where two pieces of crust come together
What is convergent
Volcanic Islands and Trenches
What is convergent oceanic-oceanic?
Mid-Atlantic Ridge
What is divergent oceanic?
types of crust
oceanic and continental
layer that tectonic plates move around on
What is the asthenosphere?
three types of convergent boundaries
What is oceanic-oceanic, continental-continental, oceanic-continental
Volcanic arc and trenches
What is convergent oceanic-continental?
San Andreas Fault
What is transform?
layer that has convection currents
What is the asthenosphere
causes movement of plates (3 things)
What is convection currents, ridge push, slab pull?
type of boundary where seafloor spreading occurs
oceanic-oceanic divergent boundary
Mountain Ranges
What is convergent continental?
Japan
What is convergent oceanic-oceanic?
