Plate Boundaries
These plate boundaries move apart and create sea floor spreading and rift valleys.
What are divergent boundaries?
Earthquakes happen mostly at this type of plate boundary.
What is a transform boundary?
When you add heat or pressure to a rock, in millions of years, this type of rock will result.
What is a metamorphic rock?
This type of stress is formed at convergent boundaries when rock is squeezed together.
What is a compression stress?
This is what happens when the elements in a substance recombine to form new substances.
What is a chemical reaction?
These plate boundaries are found with strike-slip faults.
What are transform boundaries?
Divergent plate boundaries cause these geologic conditions.
What are rift valleys and sea floor spreading?
These two things contribute to the formation of sediment.
What is weathering and erosion?
Earthquakes happen at these faults associated with shearing stress.
What are strike-slip faults?
The Atomic number of an element tells this.
What is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom?
These plate boundaries have formed the Himalayan Mountains in India, Nepal, and China.
What are convergent plate boundaries?
Subduction zones occur in this type of boundary.
What is a convergent boundary?
These volcanic rocks form inside the earth's crust and/or mantle below the surface.
What is an intrusive igneous rock?
This is the kind of fault that exists with rift valleys and sea floor spreading.
What is a normal fault?
If the pH of a substance is 1.5, how would you describe the substance?
What is an acid?
This type of plate boundary exists where the San Andreas Fault is.
What is a transform plate boundary?
These are the three types of convergent plate boundaries.
What are land to land, ocean to land, and ocean to ocean?
This is the process by which sedimentary rocks are formed by becoming layered and hardened.
What is compaction and cementation layers of rock?
This type of fault causes volcanoes, mountain ranges and subduction zones.
What is a reverse fault?
This is why the following chemical equation is incorrect: 2MgO + O = 3Mg + 2 O
What is the number of molecules of the elements are not the same on both sides.
This is what happens in a subduction zone and why it happens.
What is the oceanic plate slips under the continental plate because it is denser than the continental plate?
In the theory of plate tectonics, how do the plates move?
What is the pieces of the lithosphere move on top of the asthenosphere?
Igneous, Metamorphic and Sedimentary rocks do this to form mountains.
What is slowly uplift to the surface?
This is the boundary, stress and fault associated with the San Andreas fault.
What is transform, shearing and strike-slip.
ATP is the substance that allows organisms to have energy and is produced during this important process.
What is cellular respiration?
