Boundaries & Landforms
What is it called when two plates move away from each other?
What is Divergent
This type of force is found at convergent boundaries.
What is compression?
Where in general do earthquakes happen?
What is at plate boundaries and fault lines?
What is the difference between magma and lava?
What is magma is underground and lava is on the surface.
This is the coolest and thinnest layer of the Earth.
What is the crust?
Rift Valleys and Mid-Ocean Ridges form at this type of boundary.
What is a divergent boundary?
This type of fault is found at convergent boundaries.
What is reverse?
Earthquakes happen when this builds up in rocks and is suddenly released.
What is stress or energy?
What do we call the area of the Earth where most of the world's volcanoes can be found?
What is the Ring of Fire?
This causes the movement of plate tectonics.
What are Convection currents in the asthenosphere?
This landform is created when two continental plates collide.
What is mountain ranges?
The fault that is associated with shearing stress.
What is strike-slip fault?
This can form when earthquakes occur near shorelines or bodies of water
What is a tsunami?
Hawaii has volcanoes far from a plate boundary because of this phenomenon.
What is a hot spot?
Name two pieces of Wagener's evidence.
Landforms fit together, Fossil evidence, Climate evidence, Rock layers.
This boundary only creates small hills and earthquakes as it moves.
What is a transform boundary?
This force and fault is found at divergent boundaries
What is normal and tension?
This force prevents faults from moving and causes energy to build.
What is friction?
This hot, poisonous, gas and dust can be more dangerous than lava and covered the city of Pompeii in minutes.
What is pyroclastic flow?
What elements make up the outer core?
What are Iron and Nickel?
What two landforms are created at an oceanic- oceanic convergent boundary.
What are deep sea trenches and volcanic island arcs.
In these two places you could stand and look at normal faults. (Be specific)
What is Iceland and the East coast of Africa?
The strongest and deepest earthquakes occur at these types of plate boundaries.
What are convergent boundaries/subduction zones?
This is the location of the super-volcano in the continental United States.
What is Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming?
Name the force, fault, landforms and direction associated with divergent boundaries.
Away, tension, normal, rift valley & mid ocean ridge.
