The type of plate boundary where the plates are moving toward each other.
What is convergent plate boundary?
100
This is the outer layer of the Earth?
What is the crust?
100
This is the definition of the transfer of energy.
What is energy (in the form of heat in this case) moving from one object to another?
100
This is the number of major plates found on Earth.
What is 9 (or 7).
100
This is Pangaea.
What is the ancient super continent, when all the continents were together as one?
200
This is the plate boundary where plates are moving away from each other.
What is divergent plate boundary?
200
This is the layer of the Earth between the crust and the core.
What is the mantle?
200
This is the name of the transfer of energy from one object to another when the objects are touching.
What is conduction?
200
This is the more dense plate between oceanic and continental plates.
What is oceanic plates?
200
This is sea floor spreading.
What is the expansion of the ocean floor through a divergent plate boundary?
300
This is the type of plate boundary where the plates are moving in opposite directions along a parallel line.
What is transform boundary?
300
This is inner most layer of the Earth that is solid.
What is the inner core?
300
This is the transfer of energy through empty space.
What is radiation?
300
This is something that can happen as a result of plates boundaries moving.
What is one of the following: volcanoes, earthquakes, mountains, or trenches?
300
This is what happens when an oceanic and a continental plate collide.
What is the denser oceanic plate slides beneath the continental plate. The oceanic plate begins to melt back into the mantle. The melting forms magma, which then may erupt through the continental plate as volcanoes?
400
This type of boundary creates mountains.
What is convergent collisional boundary?
400
This is the layer of the Earth which is liquid and its convection currents are what causes the magnetic north of our planet.
What is the outer core?
400
This is the transfer of energy in a fluid where the substance heats up, rises, cools, and sinks.
What is convection?
400
This is the plate that would subduct under another and why.
What is an oceanic plate because it is more dense?
400
This is what happens when two continental plates collide.
What is they squeeze the crust upward into mountain ranges?
500
This is the type of boundary that creates volcanoes.
What is a convergent subduction plate boundary?
500
This is the layer of the Earth that causes the plates to move and the name of the transfer of energy that moves the plates.
What is the mantle and convection currents?
500
These are three places where you would find a convection current.
What are the mantle, outer core, air (causing weather systems), the oceans, etc.
500
Name any two of the plates on the Earth.
What North American, South American, Eurasian, African, Pacific, Indian Australian, Antarctic, Nazca, Scotia, Caribbean, Juan De Fuca, Cocos, Phillippine, etc.
500
This is what happens when two oceanic plates collide.
What is one bends and slides under the other, forming a trench?
