What is created by plate tectonics
100
What is the first layer on the earth
The Lithosphere
100
What is one of the three basic rock groups?
Sedimentary,Metamorphic, and Igneous.
100
When did the continental collision occur?
40 to 60 million years ago.
100
What is one of the most know landmarks that are created by plate tectonics?
Volcanoes, Valleys, Cliffs, and mountains.
200
What is the outer core composed out of?
The outer core is composed out of nickel and iron.
200
What does igneous rock come from?
A Volcano
200
What is the plate boundary when the move away from each other?
Divergent boundary
200
What does plate tectonics cause the most?
Earthquakes and volcano eruptions.
300
What are both the Lithosphere and Athenosphere both made alike?
Rock, magnesium, and iron.
300
What does metamorphic rock come from?
It comes from hot pressure of over 1500 bars to create
300
What boundary is when they move towards each other?
Convergent boundary
300
What do shifting plate tectonics cause?
They cause the continents to move inches every year.
400
What is the difference between the innner and outer core?
The Inner Core is solid and the Outer Core is liquid.
400
What is the definition of the Rock Cycle?
The process by which one rock type changes into another rock.
400
What is the one of the most major plate tectonic?
Pacific, North American, Cocos, and Nazca.
400
Why does shifting plates cause rising water?
Because when the piece moves of it starts to go under water.
500
What is the inner core made out of?
Nickel-Iron Alloy
500
How are Igneous rocks made?
The lava comes out of the volcano and it turns it to ruck in the air, or the lava runs down and turns in to Igneous rock.
500
What are the two types of convergent boundarys?
Subduction and collision.
500
Why does shifting plates cause volcano eruptions.
Because it releases under ground magma patches that flow upwards.
