Earth's Layers
What is crust, mantle, outer core, inner core?
The three types of plate boundaries, AND how they move.
What is convergent (plates collide), divergent (plates move apart), and transform (plates slide past one another) boundaries?
What is stratovolcano, shield volcano, and cinder cone volcano?
The tool that measures seismic waves.
What is a seismograph?
What is the continental crust is granite rock, older, thicker, and less dense; the oceanic crust is basalt rock, younger, thinner, and more dense?
This layers is made up of LIQUID nickel and iron.
What is the outer core?
Which of the following does NOT occur at a convergent boundary?
a. Mountain Ranges
b. Earthquakes
c. Volcanoes Form
d. Islands Form
What is B. Earthquakes?
This plate boundary does not have volcanoes.
What is a transform boundary?
What is a fault?
This layer makes up the asthenosphere.
What is the mantle?
This layer is made up of mostly magnesium and iron. It is the thickest layer.
What is the mantle?
The process where one lithospheric plate collides with another lithospheric plate and plunges down into the mantle, at deep ocean ridges; occurs at convergent boundaries.
What is subduction?
What is a cinder cone volcano?
List the 3 types of waves in order from fastest to slowest.
What is primary, secondary, and surface waves?
Name two places that earthquakes occur.
What is along plate boundaries, in volcanic regions, and along fault zones?
These two layers make up the lithosphere.
What is the crust and mantle?
The process of magma from the mantle being pushed upward to the surface of the Earth and spreading apart, creating new Earth, occurs at divergent boundaries.
452 of this type in the ring of fire.
What is stratovolcano?
Two things that cause earthquakes.
What are faults, plate boundaries, landslides, mining, volcanic eruptions, fracking, or blasting?
Name the three types of faults and where they occur
What is a reverse fault (convergent boundaries), normal fault (divergent boundaries), and strike-slip faults (transform boundaries)?
This layer has temperatures between 5000-6000 degrees.
What is the inner core?
The theory that all of the continents were once connected into one supercontinent, created by Alfred Wegener.
Forms over hot spots.
What is a shield volcano?
Compare the location of plate boundaries to the location of earthquakes and volcanoes.
What is earthquakes and volcanoes are most likely to occur on plate boundaries due to the movement of the plates in this area?
