6.9A thermal energy transfer
What is radiation?
which element is most likely to be found in the earth's crust?
oxygen
The type of rocks can humans use as a energy source?
What is Sedimentary rocks.
Huge pieces of lithosphere that slowly move on the asthenosphere and consist of the crust and the rigid, uppermost part of the mantle.
tectonic plates
Where tectonic plates pull away from each other, which of the following geologic features is most likely to result?
Ridge
If the sun's energy heats up a rock, then the way heat transfer into a person's hand who is holding the rock is:
What is conduction? Because the heat is traveling from the atoms in the rock into the atoms of the person's hand.
What are properties of the earth's crust layer?
A thin, rough material.
There is a rocky sample made up of pieces of sand, rocks and minerals. It changed into a new rock by heat and pressure. What type of rock did it become?
It was sedimentary but changed into igneous rock.
Most plates are made of ______________ and _______________ crust.
oceanic and continental.
Which of the following geologic events would most likely occur where two continental plates converge?
Mountain formation
If a thermos bottle was made without a vacuum, then the hot liquid inside the thermos would lose heat energy how?
More quickly, because the part of the thermos holding the hot liquid would have direct contact with air particles outside the thermos.
What is the name of the Earth's most innermost layer?
Inner core.
what type of rock is formed from weathering, erosion and compaction?
Sedimentary rocks.
What causes the plates to move?
Convection currents in the asthenosphere.
At which type of plate boundary will a trench most likely form?
subduction zone, converging plates.
What is an advantage of using a thermos bottle to hold hot liquid?
It retains heat by preventing radiation from crossing the vacuum space.
What is the name of the Earth's outermost layer?
The Crust.
Sedimentary rock turns into Metamorphic rock through which process?
heat and pressure.
The three types of plate boundaries are ______________, ____________, and ________________.
convergent, divergent and transform
Where plates diverge, what land form will most likely result?
rift valley
If you are boiling macaroni noodles and you notice the noodles start to move to the top of the hot boiling water because they are moving from an area of high energy to an area of low energy, what type of heat transfer is happening?
Convection.
Which layers of the earth has large convective cells that circulate heat and help drive tectonic plate movement?
The upper and lower mantles.
Igneous Rock turns into sediment through which process?
weathering and erosion
What is the heat source for the convection currents in the mantle?
Outer core
An ocean basin will form in what location, relative to the major tectonic plates?
where two plates pull apart.
