100
The name of the theory that the earth’s crust is made of huge plates of rock that float around on the mantle.
What is The Theory of Plate Tectonics
100
This is the cause of earthquakes.
What is A buildup and release of pressure along Tectonic Plate Boundaries.
100
This process “breaks things down”.
What is Weathering
100
The two types of mountains we discussed in class.
What are Volcanic and Non- Volcanic Mountains
100
The three parts that make up an atom.
What are Protons, Electrons, Neutrons
200
The name for when two Tectonic Plates move away from each other.
What is Divergent Boundary
200
When magma reaches the surface of the earth, it is called this.
What is Lava
200
This process “takes things away”.
What is Erosion
200
This landform is created as underwater volcanoes repeatedly erupt.
What is an Island
200
The final step of the Scientific Method
What is State Your Conclusion
300
This happens when one tectonic plate is pushed underneath another plate.
What is Subduction
300
This is the cause of volcanic eruptions.
What is the buildup and release of pressure caused by hot magma rising through cracks in the earth’s surface.
300
This is what happens to particles after they have been “carried away”.
What is Deposition
300
This landform is created by years of deposition at the end of a river.
What is a Delta
300
One of the two most famous volcanoes ever to erupt.
What is Mount Saint Helens; Mount Vesuvius
400
This happens at convergent boundaries and is the cause of some mountains.
What is Uplift
400
The two types of volcanoes we discussed.
What are Shield and Composite
400
These are the two types of weathering we discussed.
What is Physical and Chemical
400
Valleys are sometimes created by this giant geologic feature.
What is a Glacier
400
How long it takes mountains to form and canyons to be eroded.
What is Hundreds of millions of years; Or 100 million years.
500
These are the four layers of the earth from deepest to shallowest.
What is the Inner Core; Outer core; Mantle; Crust
500
Scientists use this to predict volcanic eruptions just days before they happen.
What are Earthquakes
500
This type of erosion happens extremely quickly and is sometimes a side effect of earthquakes.
What are Landslides
500
One of the factors present in the creation of canyons.
What is Water; Sand; Sometimes wind; Sometimes gravity
500
When the surface of the earth acts like a liquid during an earthquake, it is called this.
What is Liquefaction
