Cross Sections
Look at Earth's Layers. What layer is underneath the ocean? Crust, Mantle, Outer Core or Inner Core?
Crust
Where are the plates located?
Under land and oceans
TRUE OR FALSE: Earthquakes cause plates to move
FALSE plates cause earthquakes
What direction do convergent plates move?
Towards each other
What direction do divergent plates go?
Away from each other
What is a cross section?
A picture that shows us that inside of something.
If two continents collide, what type of plate boundary is between them?
Convergent
TRUE OR FALSE: Earthquakes happen in random places
FALSE they happen in patterns on plate boundaries
What two landforms can appear at convergent plate boundaries?
Trenches and mountains
What landform can be found at divergent plate boundaries?
Mid ocean ridges
Look at Earth's Layers. Which layer is also called the outer layer? Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, or Inner Core?
Crust
What 2 type of plate boundaries are common at having volcanic activity?
Convergent and Divergent
TRUE OR FALSE: Volcanoes appear in the same areas as Earthquakes
TRUE
TRUE OR FALSE: Convergent boundaries create new rock
FALSE
TRUE OR FALSE: Divergent plate boundaries create new rock
TRUE
Which cross section of the potted plant is cut horizontally?
C
What are the plates made out of?
Hard solid rock
TRUE OR FALSE: Earthquakes and Volcanoes follow a pattern
TRUE
What kind of landform do convergent plates make when the top plate folds up?
Mountains
When plates move apart at divergent boundaries, what fills the gap?
Magma, hot material from the mantle
Which 2 letters DO NOT represent cross sections?
A and B
What causes plates to move?
The mantle or the soft rock underneath the plates or heat convection
What 2 type of plate boundaries are earthquakes the MOST common at?
Convergent and tranform
What happens to the bottom plate in a convergent plate boundary?
It folds down and get destroyed in the mantle.
What happens in the gap as plates move away?
Hot material from the mantle rises and creates new rock / mid ocean ridges.
