100
The type of plate boundary where 2 plates collide.
What is a convergent boundary?
100
This is where most volcanoes occur.
What is along plate boundaries?
100
Most earthquakes occur here.
What is along plate boundaries?
100
A force that acts on rocks that can change the rocks shape and volume.
What is stress?
100
The Earth's "shell" that is right above the asthenosphere.
What is the lithosphere?
200
The boundary where 2 plates slip past eachother.
What is transform?
200
The major belt of volcanoes around the Pacific Ocean.
What is the Ring of Fire?
200
This is the type of boundary at which most earthquakes occur.
What is a transform boundary?
200
Stress that pushes rock in 2 opposite directions.
What is shearing?
200
The lithosphere is broken up into 15 of these.
What are plates?
300
The boundary where 2 plates move apart from each other.
What is divergent boundary?
300
These islands were formed by hot spot volcanoes.
What is Hawaii?
300
Volcanoes that form along a mid-ocean ridge occur at this type of boundary.
What is a diverging boundary?
300
Stress that pulls the rock apart and creates a thin center.
What is tension?
300
This is what causes the movement of Earth's plates.
What is convection in the asthenosphere?
400
A rift valley is caused by this type of boundary.
What is a divergent boundary?
400
This is what magma is called when it erupts to the surface of the Earth.
What is lava?
400
Stress that squeezes rock together.
What is compression?
400
This is the theory that the plates are in constant, slow motion.
What is plate tectonics?
500
These are formed when 2 pieces of continental crust collide.
What are mountains?
500
This happens when friction on opposite sides of a fault are high.
What is an EARTHQUAKE!
500
This is the name of your favorite 6th grade science teacher.
What is Mrs. McClure?
