E & V & H
What is the process by which new oceanic crust is added?
What is molten rock under the ground?
magma
According to the continental drift theory, a single, huge continent once existed called
Pangea
The boundary formed by the collision of two lithospheric plates
convergent boundary
A rock can be transformed into any other type of rock by going through the rock cycle.(T/F)
In December 2005, an earthquake happened off the coast of the Philippines. Thousands of people on the island died because of a giant wave. What was the giant wave?
What is produced when existing rock is weathered and eroded?
Where are the tectonic plates located?
Lithosphere
The movement of one tectonic plate underneath another one
subduction
What type of rock forms when heat and pressure change the structure, texture, or composition of sedimentary rock?
Which events are most common along tectonic plate boundaries
What are most rocks made of?
Minerals
What is the point on the surface of the Earth at which an earthquake can be located?
The layer of rock between the Earth's crust and core
mantle
The boundary between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other
Transform
What happens to older oceanic crust as new rock is formed during seafloor spreading?
A mineral is a solid inorganic substance of natural occurrence. (T/F)
Seafloor spreading and continental drift are believed to be caused by
The strong, lower part of the mantle between the asthenosphere and the outer core
mesosphere
Identical rock types, identical fossils, and very similar mountain ranges are found on different continents that are separated by a wide ocean. Which of these best explains these observations?
Which of the following is a way in which inner earth material is returned to the surface?
In the rock cycle, this is when sediments are placed into a new location to eventually become new sedimentary rock.
Which of these did NOT provide evidence for continental drift?
sea-floor spreading
the fossil record
magnetic reversal
The process by which new oceanic lithosphere forms as magma rises toward the surface and solidifies
Sea floor spreading
Which provides the best evidence for the theory that faults and volcanoes are results of tectonic plate interactions?
