Plate Boundaries
Name the two types of plate boundaries
Convergent, Divergent
True
The place where two plates meet
Plate Boundary
Volcanoes & Earthquakes
Pangaea
When two plates slide past each other, what kind of boundary do they form?
Transform
The Earth's plates moved gradually?
True
Mantle
What is a fossil?
Evidence of life from the past, such as a fossilized bone, footprint or leaf print
What is it called when there is a sudden pushing out of something, such as lava from a volcano?
Eruption
At which plate boundary do you find a trench?
Convergent
The Mantle is made of Hard, Solid Rock?
False - Soft, solid rock
Ex. Think of gum, or silly putty
Earth's outermost layer of hard, solid rock that is underneath the soil, vegetation, and water
Outer Layer
Mid Ocean Ridge
Any of the many processes in which gas, lava and ash are pushed out on the surface of the Earth
What which plate boundary do you find a Mid - Ocean Ridge?
Divergent
Earthquakes cause plate motion, which is why we are able to feel them
False - Plate motion causes Earthquakes
A diagram that shows what the inside of something looks like?
Cross section
Who was the person credited with developing the theory of continental drift?
Alfred Wegener
What is it called when there is a a set of interacting parts forming a complex whole
System
How do the plates and mantle interact at a convergent boundary?
One plate goes underneath the other plate into the mantle below, becoming apart of it
False - Convergent
a long, deep indentation in the ocean floor formed when two plates move together
Trench
Lava is hot liquid rock on the surface of Earth - Flowing
Magma is the hot liquid rock below the surface of Earth - Stored
Something that we observe to be similar over and over again is called a
Pattern
