What is this unit?
Geological Processes
Convergent.
***DOUBLE JEOPARDY***
What are examples of GRADUAL geological processes?
Gradual geological processes are weathering, erosion, plate tectonics, and the rock cycle.
What are the names of the different spheres that classify out Earth?
Lithosphere, Asthenosphere, and atmosphere
***DOUBLE JEOPARDY***
What is the essential question for this unit?
What are the sudden and gradual processes that change out Earths surface?
How does each rock form in the rock cycle? What processes are required?
Igeneous is formed from rock melting and cooling
Metamorphic is formed from heat and/or pressure
Sedimentary is formed first from weathering and erosion creating sediments, then cementation and compassion harden those sediments into one.
What is the name of the crust that has to do with earths land?
Continental crust
What's the difference between plate tectonics and plate boundaries?
Plate Tectonics: The theory that Earth's lithospheric plates are in constant motion.
Plate Boundary: Where two of the Earth’s lithospheric plates meet.
What do the prefixes below mean?
Atmo-
Lito-
Astheno-
What is the range on the Richter scale?
1 - 10 is the range.
***DOUBLE JEOPARDY***
What number on the Richter scale begins SEVERE earthquakes?
6 starts severe earthquakes on the Richter Scale.
**DOUBLE JEOPARDY**
What does the suffix -sphere mean? Why do we use this suffix in Earth science?
Circle. We use this because of Earth is a sphere (circle).
***DOUBLE JEOPARDY****
What is being represented in the model below? Complete the model.
The rock cycle is being represented in the model below.
Ms. Marcus will be the judge of your completed model.
***DOUBLE JEOPARDY***
What are examples of SUDDEN Geological Processes?
Sudden Geological Processes are Natural Hazards: Earthquakes and Volcanoes.
What are the TWO classifications(types) of Metamorphic rock?
Foilated and Non-Foilated.
***DOUBLE JEOPARDY***
What are the two classifications (types) of Igneous rock? What is the difference between them?
Intrusive and Extrusive
Extrusive Igneous rock is formed from lava cooling, which means it is formed on the Lithosphere, and this Extrusive cools at a quicker rate than Intrusive Igneous rock. Intrusive Igneous rock is formed from magma cooling, which means it is formed in the asthenosphere. Intrusive cools at a slower rate than Extrusive Igneous rock.
What is Ms. Marcus real name?
***DOUBLE JEOPARDY***
The crust that has to do with Earths water?
Oceanic Crust
What Geological features are created with divergent plate boundaries?
Rift Valley or Mid Ocean ridge
***DOUBLE JEOPARDY***
Complete the "song" below.
____ is colliding
____ is dividing
_____ is sliding
These are the _____ ________.
Convergent is colliding
Divergent is Dividing
Tranform is sliding
They are the plate boundaries.
***DOUBLE JEOPARDY***
Complete the model for Earths layers.
A: Crust
B: Upper Mantle
C: Lower Mantle
D: Outer core
E: Inner Core
What is the main Geological feature created from Transform plate boundaries?
Earthquakes
***DOUBLE JEOPARDY***
How many different types of Crust does our Earth have? What are the names for those types of crust? Which is denser??
There are two different types of Crust. Oceanic and Continental. Oceanic is denser!
Define each layer of the Earth.
Atmosphere: The layer of Earth that is surrounded by gas.
Lithosphere: The solid layer of Earth (Crust & Upper mantle) that is surrounded by rock/stone.
Asthenosphere: The weak,soft solid layer of Earth (Mantle) 100-250 km below Earth’s surface.
***DOUBLE JEOPARDY***
Which model represent which plate?
Model 1: Divergent
Model 2: Convergent
Model 3: Transform
