What are the 3 physical layers of the earth

(Hint one can be broken into two layers) 


Crust

Mantle 

Core (Inner & Outer)  

100

This is the layer of earth that allows tectonic plates to move around

Athenosphere

100

List two types of volcanoes 

Shield 

Cinder Cone 

Lava Domes 

Composite 

Stratovolcanoes 

100

What is the "focus" in relation to an earthquake 

The place in the earth along a fault in which the first motion of an earthquake occurs

100

List two types of mountains 

Folded 

Volcanic 

Fault Block 

200

The only liquid layer of the earth

Outer core 

200

This type of boundary is know as a constructive boundary which type of boundary is it  (<>) 

Divergent boundary 

200

The movement of materials due to differences in density’s and temperatures. This process allows the hot molten rock in the earth to move around and escape.  

Convection 

200

The location directly above the surface of the earthquake where the stress is released. This is where seismic waves radiate from 

Epicenter 

200

The process in which a rock changes shapes by stress. 

Deformation 

300

What are the 5 compositional layers of the earth 


(Hint the first layer is a combination of the crust & upper mantle ,Second layer moves like rubber)

Lithosphere 

Asthenosphere

Mesosphere

Outer Core 

Inner Core  

300

This type of boundary slides past each other which type of boundary is it  (//)

Transform Boundary 

300

Divergent boundaries create these which can make volcanoes in the middle of tectonic plates 

Hot Spots 

300

What is a fault 

The crack in the earth that forms when large rocks or blocks break and move past each other. The sides of the faults are called fault blocks. The location that this happens is the fault plane.

300

This type of stress builds mountains by sliding the faults past each other 

Sheer stress 



400

What is the thinnest layer of the earth 

Crust 


400

This type of boundary is know as a destructive boundary can have subduction or collisions which type of boundary is it  (><)

Convergent Boundary 

400

Hot molten rocks inside the earth are called _____ and hot rocks outside the earth are called ______

Lava

Magma

400

These form when an earthquake releases its energy in the ocean. 

Tsunami 

400

This type of stress builds mountains by moving the faults away each other

Tension

500

What are two questions that can be asked to identify a layer of the earth. 

Which layers are it between ? 

How deep is the layers?

What is the composition of rocks in that layer ?

How thick is the layer? 

How hot is the layer?

500

This is the landmass the existed before the the tectonic plates started to move along its boundary types  

Pangea 

500

This is the region of earth where most volcanic landforms are found 


Bonus (Where is it located )

Ring of Fire 

(Pacific Ocean )

500

Antarctica has the least amount of earthquakes in the world why do you think that is 


Bonus (These are used to measure the strength of an earthquake 0

They are in the middle of their tectonic plate so the boundaries are effected as much as other place on earth


Seismograph 

500

This type of stress builds folded mountains by sliding the faults into each other


Bonus (What are the folds called) 

Compression 

(Anticline  Synclines)
