Convergent
What is a convergent boundary?
two plates pushing towards each other
What is a divergent boundary?
two plates pulling away from each other
What is the top layer of the earth called?
Crust/ Lithosphere
What are the three names for tropical storms?
Hurricane, Typhoon, Cyclone
What are the three types of impacts caused by hazards?
Environmental
Social
Economic
What type of hazards does a convergent boundary create?
Volcanic eruptions
Earthquakes
Tsunamis
What type of hazards does a divergent boundary create?
Volcanoes and small earthquakes.
What are the three tectonic plates?
Convergent, transform and Divergent
The calm area at the center of a tropical storm with light winds and no rain.
The Eye
A consequence that occurs for a long time
Long term impact
Draw a continental-oceanic convergent boundary.
Answers Vary
Draw a divergent boundary
Answers Vary
What is the third layer of the earth called?
Mantle
This process, where warm, moist air rises rapidly, provides the energy that powers tropical storms.
Evaporation
A consequence that only lasts a short while
Short term impact
What is an oceanic-continental convergent boundary?
Ocean crust collides with the continental crust causing the ocean crust to subduct.
What are mid-oceanic ridges?
Are caused when the sea floor slowly moves apart creating bumps between the two plates.
What is the centre of the earth called?
Core
The wind that bends due to the spin of the earth. Makes the tropical storm start to spin.
Coriolis Effect
Name the impact "The salt water form a storm surge kills coastal forests"
Environmental Impact
True or false? Convergent boundaries are only along continental crusts.
False
True or false. Divergent boundaries ONLY create tsunamis.
False
What is the hottest section of the earth?
core
The TWO main ingredients that create a tropical storm.
Coriolis effect and warm ocean water.
Name the Impact "Impacts on infrastructure such as buildings, roads etc"
Economic Impacts
Convergent boundaries create mountains. True or False
True
Explain how ridge valleys are created by divergent boundary movement?
By pulling apart both plates create little bumps of crust which are breaking off the plates at either ocean or continental crusts.
These occur in the mantle and are the reason the plates move.
Convection Currents.
Name the three 'P's that describe how countries reduce the effects of tropical storms.
Prediction, Protection and Planning
Name the Impact "Due to destroyed hotels, tourists do not visit anymore."
Economic Impact
