Earth's Layers
What is inside Earth?
What is chemical composition and physical properties?
Who's evidence led to the theory of plate tectonics?
What is Alfred Wegener?
What are the 2 kinds of folds?
What is Synclines and Anticlines?
What is viscosity?
What is the ability of material like lava to flow?
What is the focus?
What is the place in Earth where the 1st motion of an earthquake happens?
What are Earth's compositional layers?
What is the crust, mantle, and core?
How many years ago did all the continents join to make Pangaea?
What is 245 million years ago?
How do Synclines and Anticlines look?
What is synclines look like a bowl, and anticlines are arched in the middle?
What is low-viscosity? What about high-viscosity?
What is low-viscosity flows easily, makes low slopes, and tiny explosions? What is high-viscosity flows NOT easily, has steep slopes, and gives big explosions?
What is the epicenter?
What is the place directly above the "focus" on Earth's surface?
What are Earth's physical layers?
What is the lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer core, and inner core?
What are big underwater mountain ranges also known as?
What is mid-ocean ridges?
What is the difference between a footwall and a hanging wall?
What is a footwall is the block below the fault plane, and the hanging wall is the block above the fault plane?
What are the kinds of volcanic landforms?
What is shield volcanoes, cinder cones, composite volcanoes, lava plateaus, craters, and calderas?
What is elastic rebound?
What is the return of rock to its normal shape after elastic deformation?
What is the difference between the outer core and the inner core?
What is the outer core is the liquid layer of the core and the inner core is the solid, dense center of Earth?
What is sea-floor spreading?
What is to explain the age and magnetic patterns of sea-floor rocks?
What are the three kinds of faults?
What is a strike-slip fault, a normal fault, and a reverse fault?
What is a dormant volcano? What is the opposite of this volcano?
What is a volcano that has no eruptions for a long time? What is an active volcano?
What happens at divergent boundaries? What type of stress occurs? What type of fault does this stress mostly occur at?
What is plates pull apart at divergent boundaries? What is tension occurs here? What is tension occurs mostly at normal faults?
What are the two types of crust? How are they different? What are they mainly made of?
What is the continental and oceanic crust? What is the continental crust is thicker and the oceanic crust is thinner and more dense? What is oxygen, silicon, and aluminum?
What are the three types of collisions for convergent boundaries?
What is 2 continental plates colliding, 1 oceanic plate colliding with a continental plate, or 2 oceanic plates colliding.
What are the three kinds of mountains?
What is the difference between a fissure and a lava plateau?
What is a fissure is a giant crack in Earth's surface, while lava plateau is the layer of cooled lava that forms after coming OUT OF the fissure?
What happens at transform boundaries? What type of stress occurs? What type of fault does this stress mostly occur at?
What is 2 tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally at transform boundaries? What is shear stress occurs here? What is shear stress occurs mostly at strike-slip faults?
