What is Igneous

What is the top layer of the earth's surface or crust called?
What is Continental Crust
100
This volcano is broad and gently sloped with a base in the shape of a circle. This volcano has basaltic lava that erupts from it which flows easil and leads to mild explosions.
Shield Volcano
100
Basalt is this type of rock
igneous

What is a divergent boundary
The movement of the plates away from eachother
200
What type of Rock is formed by heat and pressure?
What is Metamorphic
200
What is the layer under the top crust called. This crust is thinner and more dense than the top crust.
What is Oceanic Crust
200
This type of volcano forms when material ejected high into the air falls back to the earth and piles up around the volcano's vent. They are generally small with steep sides.
Cinder Volcano
200
Sandstone is this type of rock
sedimentary
200
What is a convergent boundary
When two tectonic plates push into one another.
300
What type of rock is formed by layers of rock particles that have been transported away from their original place by water or wind.
What is Sedimentary
300
What is theory about our continents called, hint, I'm talking about starting with Pangea
Continental Drift
300
These volcanos form from altering layers of lava and volcanic rocks and as. They have broad bases and sides that get steeper toward the summit.
Composite Volcano
300
What is the interesting quality that Pumice has?
It Floats! Igneous
300
What happens when two Continental Crusts Collide?
The two edges of the continental plate are pushed together and lifted up, creating a high mountain range.
400
Explain the rock cycle.
What is Your explanation must talk about the three types of rock and how they interact with each other.
400
What's the individuals name who talked about the movement of the continents.
Wegener
400
A bowl shaped depression formed by a volcanic explosion
Crater

Limestone

What happens when an oceanic crust and continental crust collide?
The Oceanic Plate is more dense so it goes under the continental crust (subduction).
500
Describe the difference between the two types of igneous rock, Extrusive and Intrusive
Extrusive- form from molten material that has cooled and crystallized either on or near the earths surface. Intrusive-Magma that cools underground slowly, usually coarse grained textures.

What are the three forms of evidence that support Continental Drift
Fossil Evidence, Rock Formations and Climatic Evidence
