Convergent plate boundary.
What is a plate boundary where the plates move together? (Also accept "What is an alternate name for a destructive plate boundary?")
The outermost layer of the Earth.
What is the crust in geology?
The layer of the Earth second farthest from the crust.
What is the Earth's Outer Core?
Transform, Divergent, and Convergent.
What are the three plate boundaries?
What the crust and upper mantle are called when grouped together.
What is the lithosphere?
A hot, solid ball of metals.
What is the Earth's Inner Core?
A transform fault located in California and the Salton Sea.
What is the San Andreas Fault?
An alternate name for continental crust.
What is sial?
The liquid layer between the Mantle and Inner Core.
What is the Earth's Outer Core?
The largest volcanoes on earth.
What are shield volcanoes?
Constructive plate boundary.
What is an alternate name for a divergent plate boundary? (Also accept "What is a plate boundary where the plates move apart?")
It's made up of mostly silicon and magnesium.
What is oceanic crust made of? (Also accept "What is sima made of?")
Solid, even though it's hot enough to where it should melt due to the other layers of the earth compressing it.
What is the Earth's Inner Core?
A transform fault located in Southeast Alaska.
What is the Queen Charlotte Fault?
Magma cools when it gets to the top and therefore sinks because it's denser. It warms up after sinking and then rises due to its lower density.
What is a convection current?
28 and 26.
What are the atomic numbers of the two most prominent elements in the Earth's Core?
What lava from Shield Volcanoes cools into.
What is basalt?
