What are tectonic plates?

Enormous moving pieces floating on the magma underneath Earth's crust.

100

Frost wedging happens when_________?

Water freezes inside of a rock causing it to break.

100

What are the three basic interactions?

Divergent Boundaries, Convergent Boundaries, Transform Boundaries.

100

How is a valley formed?

Moving Glaciers

100

What is the Rock cycle?

The different stages of Three different types of rocks.

200

Where are tectonic plates located?

Underneath earths crust.

200

Sand particles carried by wind can grind against the surface of rocks. This is called__________?

Abrasion

200

What are Divergent Boundaries?

It is areas when plates move away from each other, Forming either mid-oceanic ridges or rift vally's .

200

How is a mountain formed?

They are formed by the movements of earths crust and tectonic plates.

200

What are the three different types of rocks in the rock cycle?

Sedimentary Rock, Metamorphic Rock, Igneous Rock.

300

Where is the San Andreas fault located?

California

300

Rill and Gully erosion are caused by__________?

Water.

300

What are Convergent Boundaries. 

It is a actively deforming region where two or more tectonic plates or fragments of the lithosphere move toward one another and collide.

300

How is a Volcano formed.

Volcanos form when magma from the earths upper mantel works its way to the surface.

300

How is Metamorphic rock formed?

It is made underground through, and is formed by heat and pressure and chemical reactions.

400

Where are convection currents located?

The upper layer of the mantle.

400

Soil is made of __________?

Water, Organic Material, Minerals, Weathered Rock.

400

What are transform boundaries?

It is a type of fault whos relative motion is predominantly horizontal in either sinistral or dextral direction.

400

How is a trench formed?

From a subduction zone.

400

How is Sedimentary Rock formed?

It is formed from particles of pre-existing sedimentary, metamorphic, or igneous rock that is deposited or compacted and cemented together by natural processes.

500

What and where is a fault line?

It is the surface trace of a fault. It is between the fault plane and the earth's surface.

500

Soil formation is mostly caused by__________?

Rainfall

500

What does a convergent boundaries form?

They form Mountain Ranges.

500

How is a subduction formed?

They are formed by the collision between two oceanic plates of certain types.

500

How is Igneous Rock formed?

It is formed by cooling and solidification of magma or lava.
