The GEOSPHERE!
The most upper layer of the geosphere.
What is the crust?
These have the smallest eruptions.
What is a volcanic fissure?
This type of plate boundary happens when two tectonic plates collide.
What is a convergent plate boundary?
This type of volcano one of the widest.
What is a shield volcano?
This super continent was hypothesized because of large land masses fitting together like puzzle pieces.
What is Pangaea?
The largest section of the geosphere.
What is the mantle?
These have the biggest eruptions.
This type of plate boundary occurs when two tectonic plates are moving away from each other.
What is a divergent plate boundary?
The aftermath of this type of volcano usually leads to a crater lake.
What is a caldera volcano?
The newest form of plate tectonic observation.
What is GPS?
The center of the Earth.
What is the inner core?
These volcanoes have the most complex conduit systems.
Composite Volcano
This type of boundary involves the rubbing together of two plates.
What is a transform plate boundary?
Larger mountain ranges (such as the Himalayas) are the result of this type of plate boundary.
What is a convergent boundary?
This term refers to the evidence that glaciers existed in modern tropical regions.
What is glacial scarring?
Where the convection currents occur.
What is the mantle/lithosphere?
What is Silica?
This is the heating/cooling cycle that causes the plates to move.
What is a convection current?
What is the ring of fire?
This term is used to refer to fossils of the same creature in multiple continents.
What is fossil correlation?
Between the mantle and the inner core.
What is the outer core?
It is the resistance to flow.
What is viscosity?
This occurs when one plate slides beneath the other at a convergent boundary.
What is subduction?
Mount Fuji is the result of this type of volcano.
What is a Composite Volcano?
Over time this ocean is hypothesized to be shrink.
What is the pacific ocean?
