Layers of Earth
The top-most layer of Earth.
What is Earth's crust?
Where two different tectonic plates meet.
What is a plate boundary?
Hot, liquid, molten rock that flows from volcanoes.
What is lava?
Large pieces of Earth's crust that constantly move on Earth's surface.
What is tectonic plates?
The three different kinds of plate boundaries.
What is convergent, divergent, transform?
A natural disaster caused near plate boundaries, shaking the Earth.
What is an earthquake?
The inner-most layer of Earth, made of molten, liquid metals.
What is Earth's core?
The way convergent plate boundaries move. (this movement creates mountains and volcanoes)
What is towards each other?
This landform can be formed by magma (molten rock) rising to the surface and breaking through Earth's crust.
What is a volcano?
The layer of Earth that is in-between the core and the crust.
What is Earth's mantle?
The way divergent plate boundaries move. (this causes mid-ocean ridges and the ocean floor to spread)
What is away from each other?
A natural disaster that can be caused by an earthquake, creating large waves of ocean water.
What is a tsunami?
The layer of Earth that tectonic plates belong to.
What is Earth's crust?
What is mountains or volcanoes?
