Transform Boundary
The direction plates move at a transform boundary.
What is sliding?
The direction plates move at divergent boundaries.
What is dividing or away from each other?
What direction do the plates move in a convergent boundary?
What is colliding or moving towards each other?
Sudden ground shaking caused by the release of energy as tectonic plates move, commonly along faults at plate boundaries.
What is Earthquakes?
Where a denser oceanic plate slides under a lighter continental plate, creating volcanoes.
What is Subduction Zone?
This geological event happens at transform boundaries.
What is earthquakes?
This rises to the surface when plates separate.
What is molten rock/magma/lava?
Why does ocean crust sink below continental crust?
What is higher density?
An area where magma pushes up through the crust in one spot, creating volcanoes, even if it’s not near a plate boundary.
What is the Hot Spot?
What TEKS did you learn this unit?
What is 7.10A and 7.10B?
This is the term for the fracture created when one plate suddenly slides past another plate.
What is a fault?
Divergent boundaries typically occur here.
What is the ocean?
What is created at ocean-continent convergent boundaries?
What is volcanoes and trenches?
The rigid outer layer of Earth, including the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle, divided into tectonic plates.
Who is Lithosphere?
In the lab, what did the graham cracker represent?
plates of the earth
As the plates slide past one another one often gets caught on the other one. This causes _______ to build up. Earthquakes happen when the ______ is released. (same word in both blanks)
What is energy?
These are found at divergent boundaries?
What is mid-ocean ridge and rift valley?
What is created at continent-continent convergent boundaries?
What is Mountain Ranges?
Molten rock beneath Earth’s surface that can rise to form volcanoes or new crust when it cools.
What is the Magma?
magma
This is the force which causes earthquakes as the plates slide against one another.
What is friction?
These are more common at convergent boundaries but can also be made at divergent boundaries.
What is Volcanoes?
What is created at ocean-ocean convergent boundaries?
What is Volcanic Islands and Trenches?
The regions where tectonic plates meet, categorized as divergent, convergent, or transform boundaries.
What is Plate Boundaries?
John throws a baseball with a force of 15N. If the ball has a mass of 2.2kg, then what is the acceleration of the baseball? Round to the nearest Hundredths place.
What is an acceleration of 6.82 m/s ^2?
