Shaping the Earth
How it Affects Humans
100
When two plates pull apart
What is a divergent boundary
100
Two plates collide, folding and forming mountains
What are fold mountains
100
The theory that the Earth's crust is made up of plates.
What is plate techtonics
100
Pieces of the Earth's crust the move the continents/oceans
What are tectonic plates
100
In a transform boundary, when the plates move and cause vibrations
What is an earthquake
200
3 types are oceanic-oceanic, oceanic-continental, continental-continental
What is convergent boundaries
200
A fault block tilts or slips, forming mountains
What are block mountains
200
The rising and cooling magma in the Earth's mantle that moves the plates
What are convection cells
200
Crust is destroyed
What is convergent boundary
200
Earthquakes in the ocean cause a large wave
What is a tsunami
300
Plates sliding past one another that can cause earthquakes.
What is transform boundary
300
Magma rises, cooling on the outside and containing lava on the inside
What are volcanoes
300
The single continent that all the continents of Earth combined to form millions of years ago.
What is Pangaea
300
New crust is formed
What is divergent boundary
300
Comes out when a volcano erupts, and creates better soil
What is volcanic ash
400
Where one plates dives under another.
What is a subduction zone
400
Forms along a subduction zone
What is a volcano
400
The two types of heat that heat magma in the mantle
What are residual heat and radioactive decay
400
In a divergent boundary, where magma rises up, cools, and forms an ocean ridge
What is seafloor spreading
400
Magma rises and cools creating deposits
What are minerals
500
When two oceanic plates spread apart and magma rises and cools, forming new rock
What is an ocean ridge
500
Raised fault lines
What are horsts
500
The scientist that came up with the original theory of plate tectonics
Who is Alfred Wegener
500
Forms in a subduction zone with at least one oceanic plate
What is an ocean trench
500
Can form from divergent or convergent boundaries, when magma rises to the crust
What are volcanoes
