How many types of plate boundaries are there?
3
100
What is the difference between lava and magma?
Magma is only found below the surface and lava is only found above the surface
100
What Plate sits between the Antarctic Plate and the South American Plate?
Scotia Plate
100
What is the epicenter of an earthquake?
The surface directly above where an earthquake occurred
100
Will the Country of Brazil and South Africa get closer or further away over time?
Further Away
200
What are the names of the three types of plate boundaries
Convergent, Divergent, Transform
200
What is Ash?
Ash consists of very fine rocks and minerals that are ejected from a volcano during an eruption
200
Does the Continent of Australia lie on the edge of a plate or in the middle of a plate?
In the middle
200
At what plate boundary do mountains form at and between what two types of crust?
Convergent boundary and two pieces of continental crust
200
What general direction is the Pacific Plate moving?
Northwest
300
What are the two types of crust on our planet?
Oceanic and Continental
300
What are the three main types of volcanoes?
Stratovolcano, Shield, and Fissure Volcanoes
300
What plate contains the majority of all of the worlds' volcanoes and is an Earthquake hotspot? Hint (it makes up the Ring of Fire)
The Pacific Plate
300
How many types of faults are there?
There are four types of faults
300
What type of boundary exists between the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate?
Divergent
400
How many types of convergent boundaries exist and what makes them different?
Three types, they differ by what type of crusts are interacting (oceanic and continental)
400
How do large mud flows form from a volcanic eruption?
They form due to the ice and snow melting off the summit and running down the mountain by gravity
400
What type of boundary sets between the Nazca and Pacific Plate
Divergent
400
Rift Valleys and trenches form from what plate boundary?
Divergent Boundary
400
Is Atlanta, Georgia and New York City moving closer to each other, further away or neither
Neither
500
Name all Five Layers of the Earth in order from the Surface to the center of the planet
Crust, Upper Mantle, Lower Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core
500
Describe how magma exits a volcano in an eruption using the parts of a volcano (magma chamber, conduit, crater, cone)
Magma forms in the magma chamber, volcanic gases build up, increasing the pressure in the volcano. Magma rises up the conduit and exits out the crater in an eruption, becoming lava as it falls down the cone.
500
What plate illustrates all three boundary types on this map
North American Plate and Pacific Plate
500
What boundary do earthquakes occur at and how do they occur
Transform and by the plates sliding past each other
500
How did the Indian Plate form?
Formed by a convergent interaction between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate
