Interior
Is oceanic or continental crust thicker?
continental crust
True or false: oceanic crust is denser than continental crust
true
List the three types of stress that our crust is exposed to
compression, tension, shearing
What are the three main parts of Earth's interior? For correct response put in order from where we stand to inside, DEEP in the Earth.
Name the three types of collisions convergent boundaries can have
continental-continental
oceanic-oceanic
continental-oceanic
Rocks respond to stress in what three ways
fold, fracture, fault
This part of the interior can be liquid or solid
mantle
volcanoes on land and offshore trenches are formed by what type of zone
subduction zone. This is an oceanic-continental convergent boundary
list the three types of faults
Normal
reverse/thrust
strike-slip
As we go further down, deep into the Earth does temperature increase or decrease?
two plates scraping horizontally past each other are what type of boundary AND fault
Transform boundary and strike-slip fault
True or false: normal faults occur at a divergent boundary, which form rift valleys and ocean trenches
false: normal faults occur at divergent boundaries and form rift valleys and mid-ocean ridges.
Ocean trenches are formed by convergent boundaries
True or false: the inner core generates earth's magnetic field
false, outer core generates earth's magnetic field
convection currents-hot material rises and cool material sinks
Compression occurs at ____ boundaries
Tension occurs at ____ boundaries
Shearing occurs at ___ boundaries
Compression occurs at convergent boundaries
Tension occurs at divergent boundaries
Shearing occurs at transform boundaries
