The layers of our Earth
What is the crust, mantle (lithosphere and asthenosphere), outer core and inner core?
100
Huge slabs of Earth, or pieces of crust, that move.
What are Earth's plates?
100
The most common type of plate boundary to cause an earthquake.
What is a transform fault boundary?
100
There are three categories of volcanoes.
What are cinder cone, shield, and composite (or stratacone)?
100
There are three categories of rock.
What are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic?
200
The thinnest layer of Earth that is solid and can sustain life.
What is the crust?
200
There area where two tectonic plates meet.
What is a boundary?
200
This is formed when Earth's plates bend so far that they actually break.
What is a fault?
200
A type of volcano that is small, erupts violently, and has a smooth cone shape.
What is a cinder cone volcano?
200
This causes metamorphism in rocks.
What is heat and pressure?
300
The thickest layer(s) with both solid and melted rock.
What is the mantle (lithosphere and asthenosphere)
300
The three plate boundaries.
What are convergent, divergent, and transform fault?
300
The spot on Earth’s surface that is directly above the fault that caused the earthquake.
What is the epicenter?
300
A type of volcano that is large, can erupt violently and gently, and has a rough cone shape
What is a composite or stratacone volcano?
300
Sediment being carried from one location to another.
What is erosion?
400
The layer of Earth that is made of molten metal.
What is the outer core.
400
The name of a divergent boundary where two ocean plates split apart and magma fills the opening.
What is sea floor (or ocean floor) spreading?
400
TWO types of earthquake waves that travel through the Earth's surface.
What are primary waves and secondary waves?
400
most volcanoes located in a specific area around the Earth.
What is the Ring of Fire, or plate boundaries?
400
A type of rock that undergoes the process of “Deposition” in its development.
What is sedimentary rock?
500
Because of this, the inner core is a hot, solid, metal ball.
What is heat and pressure?
500
The name of a convergent boundary where one plate is pushed under another plate.
What is sub-duction?
500
Three common places upon or within the Earth where earthquakes will occur.
What are plate boundaries, volcanoes, and faults?
500
A small crack or hole in a tectonic plate where magma is pushed out through the crust, often forming a shield volcano.
What is a hot spot?
500
This type of rock often contains minerals that can be easily seen.
What is igneous rock?
