Landforms
What landform is created by converging plates?
A Mountain Range
What does the B in BOLTSS stand for?
Border
How many types of plate movements are there?
Three
Where are two thirds of the world's volcanoes located?
Along the Pacific Ring of Fire
What are the contour intervals on the map?
20 meters
What landform is created by diverging plates?
A Ridge
What does the L in BOLTSS stand for?
Legend
What is the name of the plate movement where plates are moving alongside each other?
Transform
What are the two types of volcanoes?
Stratovolcanoes and Shield Volcanoes
At what elevation is point A on the map?
600 Meters
What landforms are created at subduction zones?
Trenches and Volcanoes
How do you show orientation on a map?
You draw a compass
What is the name of the plate movement where plates are moving away from each other?
Divergent
Explain how volcanoes are created at subduction zones.
As the denser plate edge moves downward, the pressure and temperature surrounding it increases, which causes changes to the plate that melt the mantle above, and the melted rock rises through the plate, reaching its surface as part of a volcano.
At what elevation is point B on the map?
560 meters
Explain how mountain ranges are created
Converging plates collide, crumple and push the Earth's crust upwards to create mountains.
On which continent are the Himalayas located?
Asia
Around the border of which plate is the Pacific Ring of Fire located?
Pacific Plate
Explain how volcanoes are created by diverging plates.
At a divergent boundary, tectonic plates move apart from one another. Magma continuously moves up from the mantle into this boundary, building new plate material and creating a volcanic mountain range.
Identify the highest elevation of Uluru as indicated by the star
840 meters
Explain how oceanic ridges are created
Oceanic ridges form as magma escapes into the space between tectonic plates which are spreading underwater.
On which continent are the Andes located?
South America
What is the name of the zone where one tectonic plate sinks below the other?
Subduction Zone
Describe three environmental hazards associated with the plate movement that created Hawaii.
Volcanic Gas
Landslides and Lahars
Pyroclastic Flows
Volcanic Ash
Create a cross-section of Uluru from point A to point B
