A
Which type of boundary is characterized by the sliding past of plates?
TRANSFORM FAULT
Seafloor spreading is located at what type of plate boundary?
DIVERGENT
It is a soft, less rigid upper part of the mantle where the lithospheric plates float and move around.
ASTHENOSPHERE
What type of plate boundary creates new ocean crusts?
DIVERGENT
It is formed when ocean water flips upward, sometimes up to certain meters high, due to the great push caused by convergence of plates.
TSUNAMI
A mountain or hill, typically conical, having a crater or vent through which lava, rock fragments, hot vapor and gas is being or have been erupted from the earth's crust.
VOLCANO
The mantle is the second inner layer of Earth, made up mostly of
MAGMA/HOT MOLTEN ROCKS
When two oceanic plates converge, the denser plate will ________.
SUBDUCT/DIVE/SINK
The word used to refer to the shaking of the ground due to any activity in the lithosphere.
EARTHQUAKE
Arrange:
C T U S D O B N I U
SUBDUCTION
It is known to have been a type of reptile, similar to the modern crocodile, which propelled itself through the water with its long hind legs and limber tail.
MESOSAURUS
It happens when the North Pole is transformed into the South Pole, and the South Pole becomes the North Pole.
MAGNETIC REVERSAL
A layer beneath where the less dense hot molten material rises, and sinks.
MANTLE
A vibration of Earth due to the rapid release of energy.
EARTHQUAKE
It is a heat transfer process that involves the movement of energy from one place to another.
CONVECTION CURRENT
It states that the Earth’s lithosphere, the crust and the upper mantle, is broken up into several pieces called plates that move slowly.
PLATE TECTONIC THEORY
What do we call the continuously moving part of the earth’s crust?
PLATE
What landform is produced during a convergence between two continental crusts?
MOUNTAIN RANGES
This theory stated that the seafloor separates and move apart, forming new crustal materials.
SEAFLOOR SPREADING THEORY
It is the point where two plates meet or collide while converging.
SUBDUCTION
SONAR means ________.
SOUND NAVIGATION AND RANGING
It is a chain of volcanoes developed parallel to a trench or a crack under the ocean.
VOLCANIC ISLAND ARC
Also known as the Circum-Pacific Belt, is a horseshoe-shaped zone in the Pacific Ocean characterized by intense volcanic and seismic activity.
RING OF FIRE
It is otherwise known as an underwater mountain.
TRENCH
What makes lithospheric plates move?
Aside from mantle convection, ridge push, sliding, and slab pull are other forces that move the lithospheric plates.
