Layers of Earth
The deepest layer of Earth.
What is the inner core?
The supercontinent that broke apart 200 million years ago.
What is Pangaea?
At a divergent boundary, plates are moving (blank)
What is apart/away from each other?
The most common natural disaster that occurs at a transform boundary.
What is an earthquake?
What is subduction?
What is the crust?
What are convection currents?
What is a mid-ocean ridge?
At transform boundaries, plates are/are not in contact with each other.
What is high mountain(s)/ranges?
This is the type of crust that is more dense.
What is oceanic crust?
This is the process that occurs at UNDERWATER divergent boundaries.
What is seafloor spreading?
This is the main divergent boundary we talked about under an ocean.
What is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge?
Breaks in the Earth's crust caused by the sliding of plates at transform boundaries.
What is a fault?
The feature(s) we see at an oceanic-oceanic boundary.
What are trenches and volcanic island arcs?
This is the layer of Earth responsible for the magnetosphere.
At an oceanic-oceanic boundary the (blank) plate will dive under the other plate.
What is denser?
The ON LAND divergent boundary we talked about.
What is the East African Rift?
This is the name of the fault that is in California.
What is the San Andreas Fault?
The feature(s) we see at an oceanic-continental boundary.
What are trenches and volcanic mountains?
The state of matter (solid, liquid, gas) the mantle is in.
What is solid?
The mountain range in the USA that is evidence of continental drift.
What are the Appalachian Mountains?
A (blank) is a deep valley on land that forms along a divergent boundary.
What is a Rift Valley?
These are transform faults within divergent boundaries.
What are Fault zones?
What is the Cascade Mountains/Sierra Nevada Mountains?
