100
These are the two types of plates that can collide at convergent boundaries.
What are oceanic and continental?
100
This is the motion of the plates at a divergent boundary.
What is move apart, or move away from each other?
100
This is the name for the transform fault in California.
What is the San Andreas?
100
This what happens along all of the plate boundaries.
What is an EARTHQUAKE?
100
This is an opening in the earth's crust through which magma rises to the surface.
What is a volcano?
200
This is what happens to the more dense oceanic crust when it collides with another plate.
What is subduction?
200
This is the process of 2 plates moving away from each other.
What is sea-floor spreading?
200
This is the most common feature found at all transform boundaries.
What is an earthquake?
200
This is the scale used to rate the energy released in a earthquake.
What is the Richter Scale?
200
This is when a volcano forms not at a plate boundary.
What is a hot spot?
300
These are the 3 types of collisions that can occur between two plates.
What are oceanic-oceanic, oceanic-continental, and continental-continental?
300
This is the name of the divergent boundary found in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
What is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge?
300
This the type of plate boundary where transform faults can form when the sea-floor moves at different rates along a mid-ocean ridge.
What is a divergent boundary?
300
This is the scale used to rate the damage caused by an earthquake.
What is the Mercalli scale?
300
This volcano is formed by the process where one tectonic plate goes under another plate, melts and rises to the surface.
What is a subduction volcano?
400
These are long narrow, deep parts of the ocean caused by the subduction of an oceanic plate.
What is a trench?
400
This is the name for the ancient magnetic reversals preserved in the rocks found on either side of a mid-ocean ridge.
What is paleomagnetism?
400
These are the names for the two types of directions plates can move at a tranform boundary.
What are right-lateral and left-lateral?
400
These are the 4 types of waves released during an earthquake.
What are S-waves, P-waves, Raleigh waves, and Love waves?
400
These are the 3 different types of volcanoes.
What are stratovolcano, cinder cone, and shield?
500
These are 5 different features found at convergent boundaries.
What are volcanoes, trenches, mountains, subduction, volcanic arcs?
500
This is the name for the breaks in the crust formed by the alternating speeds of plate motion on either side of the mid ocean ridge.
What are fracture zones?
500
This is type of feature can be formed when a fault line is curved and not straight.
What are mountains?
500
This is the theory that when two plates slide past each other, they get stuck, pressure builds and then is released.
What is the Elastic Rebound Theory?
500
This the formation of volcanoes in an oceanic-oceanic convergent boundary.
What is a volcanic island arc?
