100
These are created by UPLIFT
What are mountains?
100
These are giant pieces of earth's crust that slowly move.
What are tectonic plates?
100
Earthquakes happen here.
What are faults?
100
We used a large map with latitude and longitude lines to plot these.
What are earthquakes?
100
Rusting iron inside of a rock is an example of this.
What is chemical weathering?
200
This is the movement or rupture of rock along a fault.
What is an earthquake?
200
This is when tectonic plates move away from each other.
What is a divergent boundary?
200
This is when rocks are broken down, and the composition of the rock changes.
What is chemical weathering?
200
When we put beads, vinegar and baking soda together, we were simulating this.
What is a volcano?
200
These giant sheets of ice erode and deposit rock in new places.
What are glaciers?
300
This is a vent in earth's surface where melted rock is released.
What is a volcano?
300
This is when tectonic plates slide past each other.
What is a transform boundary?
300
This is what scientists call the Earth's crust and the top part of the mantle.
What is the lithosphere?
300
You made a textbook or picturebook about this.
What is weathering?
300
This is the tectonic plate you live on.
What is the North American plate?
400
These are found at the bottom of oceans - they are caused by divergent boundaries.
What is a mid ocean ridge?
400
This is when tectonic plates push together and both plates move upward.
What is convection with NO subduction?
400
When this takes place in Earth's mantle, it causes the tectonic plates to move.
What is convection?
400
When we pulled construction paper our to the middle of the table, we were trying to understand this.
What is a divergent boundary OR mid ocean ridge?
400
This is what we call the ancient landform in which all continents were next to each other.
What is Pangea?
500
This is when one tectonic plate sinks below another at a convergent boundary.
What is subduction?
500
Volcanoes are made at this type of plate boundary.
What is a convergent boundary with subduction?
500
The bendable part of earth's geosphere - it is the top part of the mantle.
What is the asthenosphere?
500
When we put rice into the boiling water, we observed this.
What is convection?
500
This is the continent where the mysterious Ayers Rock is located.
What is Australia?
