Crust and Boundaries
Divergent boundaries, Convergent boundaries, and transform boundaries
What are the three different types of plate boundaries?
Name of the group of volcanoes in the Pacific Ocean
What is the Ring of Fire?
The type of rock that undergoes erosion
What is ALL OF THEM?
The process/stage that generates sediment from erosion and weathering
What is Sedimentation?
the process that turns any kind of rock into metamorphic rock
What is heat and pressure?
The large mass of land that helps describe the plate tectonics theory
What is Pangaea?
This plate goes below the continental plate at a convergent boundary because it is less dense
***Bonus points if you can say what it is called***
What is an oceanic plate?
***SUBDUCTION***
Wearing away of rocks
What is weathering?
the process of changing form with extreme heat and pressure
What is Metamorphism?
Rock formed from the heating and cooling of magma
What is Igneous Rock?
The top layer of crust made out of rock.
Lithosphere or Asthenosphere?
What is lithosphere?
This natural disaster produces tsunamis
What are earthquakes?
When molten rock is above ground it is called this
What is lava?
The transportation of sediment due to weathering
What is erosion?
rock formed from particles of sand, fossils, sediments, and pebbles
What is Sedimentary Rock?
The layer below the rock layer that acts like putty to move plates
Lithosphere or Asthenosphere?
What is Asthenosphere?
The instrument that detects the Magnitude of an Earthquake
What is a Seismograph?
When molten rock is below ground it is called this
What is magma?
process of rocking turning into magma/lava
What is melting?
Rock formed from intense pressure and heat deep in the Earth's surface
What is Metamorphic Rock?
Types of things that can form at a convergent plate boundary
What are mountains, volcanoes, and earthquakes?
The name of the scale used to measure the intensity of an Earthquake
What is a Modified Mercalli Scale?
When sand and sediments settle somewhere
What is deposition?
the process by which igneous rocks are formed
What is crystallization?
Any rock can turn into this due to erosion
