Transform Boundaries
Do transform boundaries collide, slide or separate?
What is slide.
More density = sinking/rising
What is sinking.
Do divergent boundaries collide, slide, or separate?
What is separate.
What are the slower seismic waves?
What is S-waves
What are the 3 composition layers
What is crust,mantle,core.
Name 3 different types of faults?
Reverse fault, normal fault, and strike-slip fault.
Name a landform that subduction creates.
What is ocean trenches, coastal mountains, and volcanoes.
What does the stretching of divergent boundaries cause?
What is minor earthquakes and faults.
What is seismology?
What is study of earthquakes.
What is the core of Earth mostly made of?
What is Iron and Nickel.
What are offset features?
What is where the earthquakes often shift the land, creating obvious changes to the surface.
What is an ocean trench?
What is the deepest part of the ocean
What type of tectonic boundaries are at divergent boundaries?
What is mid-ocean ridge and rift valley.
Waves move......faster/slower......in more dense objects?
What is Faster.
What is the hottest layer of the Earth?
What is the core?
What happens when the plates slide past each other?
What is faults and earthquakes occur.
What is subduction?
The ocean being pulled under a continent because of the different densities.
What is an example of a rift valley? (think of a place)
What is the great rift valley in Africa.
What are the fastest traveling seismic waves?
What is P waves
What is the layer closest to the exterior of the Earth when thinking of the 5 layers?
What is the lithosphere.
What is the seismic gap theory?
What is where earthquake areas are under constant forces, they would be constantly moving like a divergent boundary if not for the friction.
What are the 3 convergent boundaries?
What is:
Continent-Continent
Continent-Ocean
Ocean-Ocean
What is a rift?
A valley filled with volcanoes and as it grows it will fall below sea level and fill with sea water.
What are the 3 types of waves?
What is S-waves,P-waves, and surface waves
What are the 5 layers by properties?
What is the Lithosphere, Asthenosphere, Mesosphere, Outer core, and Inner core.
