Things that Happen due to Plate Tectonics
100
This is the theory that the continents because of plates beneath the lithosphere
What is Plate Tectonics
100
This is what comes out of volcanoes:
What is lava
100
This type of boundary has plates that slide past one another; earthquakes are created
What is a transform boundary
100
True or false: there are plates that make up the ocean as well
What is true
100
These formed when two continental plates collided into one another in Asia
What are the Himilayas
200
This is a piece of evidence for continental drift; it demonstrates how these can be on separate continents around the world
What are fossils
200
This type of volcano is normally the weakest
What is a shield volcano
200
This plate boundary has one plate go over another plate; mountains are created normally
What is a convergent boundary
200
This is the concept where the seafloor moves in different directions, causing magma to rise
What is seafloor spreading
200
These form when there are earthquakes in the water
What is a tsunami
300
One of the pieces of evidence is these were in Africa
What are glacial striations
300
Yellowstone is an example of this kind of volcano; if it erupts, we're screwed.
What is a supervolcano
300
This plate boundary has two plates that move away from one another; rifts and valleys form
What is a divergent plate boundary
300
This is the most shallow part of the ocean crust
What is continental shelf
300
These form when there are magma chambers under mountains
What is a volcano
400
This is the supercontinent that we can put back together if we put the continents back together
What is Pangaea
400
This type of volcano forms when the tops collapses in, forming a crater
What is a caldera
400
The type of continental margin is in South America; it has one continental plate, and an oceanic plate subducts under it
What is an active continental margin
400
This is the part of the crust where the ocean starts to develop a large slope.
What is continental slope
400
These happen when two plates rub up against each other
What is an earthquake
500
This is the main theory on how and why the plates move:
What is magnetism
500
This was probably the most destructive caldera ever
What is Mt. Vesuvius
500
This type of continental margin has no subduction
What is a passive continental margin
500
This is the part of the crust that is lower
What is the continental rise
500
This is what formed Hawaii
What is magma rising from seafloor spreading
