Earth's interior
100
The collision of these compress rock layers forming faults and folds.
What are tectonic plates?
100
This is the most likely cause of an earthquake.
What is shifting rock layers?
100
An ocean plate colliding with a continental plate will most likely cause this.
What is a volcano?
100
These are evidence that modern land masses were once connected but moved apart.
What are fossils?
100
The largest layer between the crust and outer core.
What is the mantle?
200
Divergent plate boundaries most commonly form these.
What are ocean ridges?
200
A normal fault is formed by the release of this type of energy.
What is potential energy?
200
The volcanoes that make up the Hawaiian Islands are the direct result of the tectonic plates moving over these.
What are hot spots?
200
There are most likely to form at the boundary where the seafloor is spreading.
What are mid-ocean ridges?
200
This process must occur in the mantle to make the plates move.
What are convection currents?
300
A satellite image can help scientists locate the area where two plates have diverged by showing the existence of these.
What are rift valleys?
300
This generates seismic waves that spread out in all directions around Earth.
What is when energy is released?
300
Volcanoes are considered destructive because they deposit this.
What is lava?
300
When two continental plates collide these can be formed.
What is a mountain chain?
300
The solid layer of Earth that moves over a viscous layer is called this.
What is the crust?
400
The movement of crustal plates results from circulating currents in material beneath the crust of Earth called this.
What is molten rock?
400
This is the center of the earthquake.
What is an epicenter?
400
Heated rock inside of a volcano.
What is magma?
400
This is the center of the Earth. We compared it to the peanut inside of the M&M.
What is the core?
400
A mountain CANNOT form when this moves down a valley depositing debris on Earth's surface.
What is a glacier?
500
Mountains are most likely formed along these.
What are tectonic plates?
500
These are the waves that we feel during an earthquake.
What are surface waves?
500
A collapsed volcano is called this.
What is a caldera?
500
This is why tectonic plates of Earth move.
What is heat convection from the mantle?
500
When sedimentary rock layers create a fault, it was caused by these.
What are tensional forces?
