Plate Tectonics
What type of Boundary matches this following motion: Sliding Side to Side
Transform Boundary
These landforms are created by Divergent Plate Boundaries.
Rift Valleys, Trenches, Oceanic Ridges
What are the 3 types of Rocks in the Rock Cycle?
Igneous, Metamorphic, Sedimentary
What is the Sequence of Processes of Fossil Formation?
Death, Burial, Lithification, Petrification, and Exposure
Numerical (Radioactive) Dating and Relative (Fossil) Dating
What type of Boundary motion matches the following words: Crashing into, subduction, under and over
Convergent Boundary
These Landforms are created by Convergent Plates.
Mountains, Volcanoes, Island Arcs
What are the 3 processes that occurr throughout the Rock Cycle?
True or False: When material is fossilized, it becomes stone-like due to an exchange of minerals between the bones and sediments.
True
They use fossils based on the layer of rock they are down in. The farther down the fossil, the older the rock because rock.
What type of Boundary matches the following words? Away, separate, trench, rift
Divergent Boundary
These Landforms are created by Transform Plate Boundaries
Fault lines and Linear Valleys
What two processes must occurr for Sedimentary Rock to be formed?
Weathering and Pressure
True or False: Fossils can be layered on top of one another.
True
What radioactive element has a half-life of about 5,700 years?
Carbon
Divergent Plates
Approximately 225 Million years ago, what was the landmass that composed Earth called?
Pangea
What process do Igneous and Metamorphic Rock have in common to be created?
The need for heat to mix rocks together
True or False: Anything can be fossilized.
False.
What are the elements with a half-life scaling Billions of Years?
Potassium, Uranium 238, Thorium, and Rubidium
What type of Plate Boundary can result in an EarthQuake?
Transform Boundary
In order, what are the 5 versions of Earth's land we have been able to verify?
Pangea, Gondawland&Eurasia, Triassic, Jurassic, and Creteacous
What is the difference between Weathering and Erosion?
Weathering is when rocks are broken down. Erosion is the process of transported broken down materials from one place to another.
What is the name of the most famous T-Rex Fossil? (Hint: It is here in Chicago at the Field Museum)
SUE
How far back does Earth's History go?
Over 225 million years.
