Category 1
True/False Continental crust is heavier than oceanic crust.
False
True/False: There is no correlation between the locations of earthquake epicenters and volcanoes.
False
True/False: Earthquake epicenters usually happens at the location of mountain ranges near from the volcanoes.
True
True/False: The inner core is solid because of pressure freezing.
True
At this boundary type, plates collide, and some crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another.
Convergent
What do we call the continuously moving part of the earth’s crust?
Tectonic Plates
At this boundary type, two plates separate from each other, and new crust is generated as the plates move away from each other.
Divergent Plate Boundary
At this boundary type, two plates slide past each other horizontally.
Transform Fault Boundary
It is made of the crust and the upper mantle.
Lithosphere
It is the theory that explains the movement of the Earth's lithospheric plates
Plate Tectonic Theory
Mountains like the Himalayas were formed at what plate boundary.
Convergent Plate boundary
It is the process where one plate sinks beneath another into the mantle.
Subduction
What is the largest tectonic plate on Earth.
Pacific Plate
It is the layer of the Earth where convection currents drive plate movement.
Mantle
It is the layer of the Earth where convection currents drive plate movement.
Mantle
These are cracks in the Earth's crust where movement has occurred.
Faults
Mid-Atlantic Ridge is formed at what plate boundary?
Divergent Plate Boundary
Volcanic island arcs, such as Japan and the Philippines, are formed what plate boundary.
Convergent
It is the layer of the Earth below the lithosphere that is partly molten and allows plates to move.
Asthenosphere
Pangaea split into two smaller landmasses during the Jurassic Period: the northern one called ________ and the southern one called ________.
Laurasia, Gondwanaland
