The Grand Canyon is an example of this type of change.
What is Physical Change?
A natural feature of the earth's surface.
What is a landform?
The vertical grid lines on a map
What are eastings?
which are part of the Earth’s crust, are thick but are much less dense. They have greater buoyancy and are largely made up of granite.
What are continental plates?
The San Andreas Fault is an example of this.
What is an example of a transform boundary?
Deforestation is an example of this kind of change.
What is human made change?
All the visible features of an area of land, often considered in terms of their aesthetic appeal.
What is a landscape?
The first three digits in a grid reference.
the parts of the crust found beneath the world’s oceans, are thinner but are denser and heavier. They are largely made up of basalt.
What are Oceanic plates?
have the plates pull apart from each other, create new crust. As the plates pull apart, magma rises to the surface and new crust is formed.
What are divergent boundaries?
The study of the earth, its landscapes, places, environment and people.
What is geography
the study of the physical features of the surface of the earth and their relation to its geological structures.
The last three digits of a six-grid reference.
Where do I read the northings?
The location where two plates meet
A plate boundary
produce mid-ocean ridges
What do divergent oceanic plates create?
Climate, landform and landscapes, and soil and vegetation are examples of these.
What are environmental characteristics of places?
the Great Dividing Range, The Cape York Peninsula and Fraser Island are examples of these.
What are some Australia's landforms?
consists of the Earth’s crust and the solid, outer part of the mantle
What is the lithosphere?
a 40 000 kilometre roughly horseshoe-shaped area where the boundary (or edges) of the Pacific Plate interacts with a number of other plates. It is seismically very active with approximately 90 per cent of the world’s earthquakes occur.
What is the Ring of Fire?
Great Rift Valley system in Israel is an example of this?
What is an example of divergent continental plates creation?
People, communities and cultures, and production and built elements are examples of this.
What are characteristics of places?
Horizontal grid lines on a map.
What are northings?
the layer of the Earth below the lithosphere
What is the asthenosphere?
plate boundaries that grind horizontally past each other.
What are Transform plate boundaries?
the oceanic plate is subducted under the continental plate
What happens when an oceanic plate and a continental plate converge?
