When plate tectonics move towards each other and collide
What is convergent boundary
The 3 types of stress relating to the movement of plate tectonics
What is compression, tension, & shear stress
Type of plate boundary associated with compression
What is convergent boundaries
Feature(s) associated with convergent boundaries
What is folded mountains, volcanoes, and ocean trenches.
When plate tectonics move away from each other
What is divergent boundary
Type of plate would you find thinner, denser rock
What is oceanic plate
Type of stress associated with transform boundaries
What is shear stress
Feature(s) associated with divergent boundaries
What is fault-block mountains & rifts
When two plates move past each other in opposite directions
What is transform boundary
Type of stress present at divergent boundaries
What is tension
The plate that subducts in oceanic-oceanic convergence
What is the denser plate
Feature(s) associated with transform boundaries
A block of the lithosphere that consists of the crust and the outermost part of the mantle.
What is tectonic plate
folded mountain belts sometimes form at convergent plate boundaries because rock is compressed and pushed upwards (true or false?)
What is true
With convergent boundaries, the plate that subducts when a continental plate and oceanic plate collide
What is the oceanic plate (because it is denser)
A solid layer of Earth made of weak, slow-flowing rock
What is the asthenosphere
The bending, tilting and breaking of rock.
What is deformation
Can cause a chain of volcanic islands to form far from plate boundaries
What is hot spots
Fault-block mountains form when one block of rock is thrust over another block of rock (True or false?)
What is true
Device that bounces sound waves off underwater objects.
What is a sonar
