When a part of the fluid becomes warmer, it becomes less dense and rises, while cooler, denser fluid sinks, creating a flow that redistributes heat.
What is Convection
100
_________ is emitted during the decay process.
what is energy

What are large slabs of Earths crust
What is tectonic plates
100
Earths layer between the crust and core
What is mantle
100
an elastic wave in the earth produced by an earthquake or other means
what is seismic wave
200
Anything that takes up space
What is Matter
200
Unstable forms of elements
Radioactive isotopes
200
The type of plate boundary where plates collide
what is convergent
200
On the tomography tool the negative side of the anomaly scale is what color?
what is red
200
Wave that gets to seismic station 1st
what is p-wave
300
a quantity having direction as well as magnitude
OH YEAH
What is Vector
300
Where can you find the number of protons on periodic table
What is the small number on the top (same as atomic number)
300
The type of plate boundary where plates move away from each other
what is divergent
300
On the tomography tool the positive side of the anomaly scale is what color?
what is blue
300
Which wave is the slower wave
P-wave
400
movement of fluid (liquid or gas) caused by temperature differences within the fluid. When a fluid is heated, it expands and becomes less dense, causing it to rise. Cooler, denser fluid then sinks to take its place, creating a continuous cycle
What is Convection Currents
400
If the element Nitrogen loses 5 protons what element does it become?
What is Helium
400
The type of plate boundary where plates slide past each other
What is transform
400
What color represents more dense rock?
What color represents less dense rock?
What is blue
What is red
400

the central and most important part of an object, movement, or group, forming the basis for its activity and growth:
What is Nucleus
500
If the element Sulfur loses 8 protons what element does it become?
What is oxygen
500
What kind of plate boundary is the San Andreas Fault
What is transform
500
Explain the coloring of the Afar region mantle. Is the rock dense or less dense?
What is mainly red with some blue, negative anomaly, less dense rock, soft ground
500
