Lesson 1 Vocabulary
The circulation within fluids caused by differences in density and Thermal Energy.
What is convection?
The crust and uppermost mantle.
What does Earth's lithosphere include?
Some of these sea creatures in order to clear the particles and bacteria out of their gills.
What are fish?
Crack or fracture in Earth's lithosphere along which movement occurs.
What is a fault?
Tectonic plate boundaries form these.
What are volcanoes?
When 2 plates slide against each other.
What is a transform boundary?
The bendable part of the mantle.
What is the astenosphere?
What are elephants?
Magma that erupts onto Earth's surface?
What is lava?
Tectonic plates and volcanoes do this.
What is recycling rocks?
The crust and uppermost part of the mantle.
What is the lithosphere?
What are large tectonic plates?
It takes about 50 of these to finish an icecream.
What are licks?
Molten rock stored below Earth's surface.
What is magma?
The energy for an earthquake comes from this.
What is the movement of tectonic plates?
The partially malted portion of the mantle below the lithosphere.
What is the astenosphere?
North America and Europe were once part of this.
What was Pangea?
Apples are part of this family.
What is the rose family?
The vibrations caused by the rupture and sudden movement of rocks along a break or crack in Earth's crust.
What is an Earthquake?
Most earthquakes occur at these.
What are plate boundaries?
The theory that Earth's surface is broken into large, rigid -pieces that move with respect to each other.
What are plate tectonics?
These cause rocks to move in the asthenosphere.
What are differences in thermal energy and density?
This body part is faster in women than in men.
What is your heart?
What is magnitude?
Most volcanoes occur at these boundaries with subduction.
What are convergent plate boundaries?
