Geology Rocks!
The type of rock made from cooled magma.
What is igneous rock?
The way Convergent Plates move.
What is collide?
The natural hazard that happens when rock, soil, and earth materials move down a slope.
What is a landslide?
Where two or more of Earth's lithospheric plates meet.
What is a pate boundary?
The idea that stated the continents, once joined together to form a large landmass, have separated and moved over time.
What is CONTINENTAL DRIFT?
The type of rock that is formed when material is pressed and glued together over a long period of time.
What is sedimentary rock?
The way Divergent Plates move.
What is Divide?
The formation created when to continental plates meet at a convergent boundary.
What is a Mountain?
The boundary that allows a subduction zone to form.
What is a convergent boundary?
The current theory that states large lithospheric plates are constantly moving and changing the surface of the earth.
What is the theory of plate tectonics?
This is required to create a metamorphic rock.
What is heat and pressure?
The way transform tectonic plates move.
What is Slide?
The deep depression formed when a dense oceanic plate meets a less dense continental plate at a convergent boundary.
What is a trench?
The boundary that can produce a long line of volcanoes called a ridge.
What is a divergent boundary?
The source of heat that provides the energy to help plates move.
What is the core?
The process that explains how one type of rock can become another.
What is the rock cycle?
The natural hazard that occurs at all three types of boundaries.
What is earthquakes?
What is the lowland region created with two continental plates separate at a divergent plate boundary?
What is a rift valley?
The type of boundary that is causing parts of California to slide past each other.
What is a transform boundary?
The force that pulls plates into the mantle to be recycled.
What is Gravity?
The type of rock formed when creating new lithospheric plate.
What is igneous?
Plates move as slow as your finger nails grow and as Wegner helped discover, boundaries that (finish the song...)
What is
Converge come together
Diverge pull apart
And transform slide past each other?
The process when plates move away from each other at a divergent boundary.
What is seafloor spreading?
The process by which one plate is pulled below another plate.
What is subducion?
The transfer of thermal energy by the movement of matter across different temperatures.
What is convection?
