At this type of boundaries plates are pulling apart
Divergent
100
What type of landform occurs at continental - continental convergent boundaries?

"How does soil type affect how fast it erodes in a river?
The IV is...
The DV is...
IV: Soil type
DV: Erosion rate/how fast it erodes
200

Transform, earthquakes

300
One of the main types of rock you would DEFINITELY at a divergent plate boundary
Igneous
300

In the mantle, plastic rock that is ___a____ _______ will rise towards the Earth's ___b____. As it cools, it will ____c____ towards the Earth's hotter ___d____ _____.
a. less dense; b. crust; c. sink; d. outer core
400
"How does the type of crust a boundary affect the number of earthquakes at the boundary?"
What is the independent and dependent variable?
IV: Crust type
DV: number of earthquakes
400
What causes Earth's plates to move?
Convection currents in the mantle drag the plates around on the surface.
400
Model a subduction zone.
Include labels: rising magma, volcano, trench, convection cell
400
What are the three types of heat transfer? Which one is most important in plate movement?
conduction, convection, radiation / Conduction
500
Which type of boundary are the deepest earthquakes located (100)? Why (400)?
Convergent. The subducting plate continues to slide against the other plate deep under the surface.
500
Design an investigation involving Komodo dragons.
RQ (100):
IV (100):
DV (100):
3 Constants (200): 
RQ: How does food type affect how wide a Komodo dragon opens its mouth?
IV: Food type
DV: Angle of jaw; length from top to bottom of mouth
Constants: Amount of food; time food is shown to dragon; location
500
How can plates be created and destroyed at the same time? Explain or model.
Plates are created a divergent boundaries and destroyed at convergent boundaries. 
500
What type of landform occurs at a continental-oceanic convergent boundary? Describe why.
Volcanoes. The subducting plate melts as it sinks into the mantle. Magma rises to the surface and escapes as a volcanic eruption.
500
Name three piece of evidence that support the theory of continental drift.
shapes of continents, same fossils AND rocks AND glacier evidence on different continents
