If You Say So
100
The type of rock formed from the deposition of sediments due to wind or water. It often contains fossils.
What is sedimentary rock?
100
The type of plate movement when one plate moves beneath another.
What is subduction?
100
The two types of crust.
What is oceanic and continental?
100
The layer of gases that surrounds the earth.
What is the atmosphere?
100
The single landmass that eventually broke into the current continents.
What is Pangea?
200
The type of rock formed when melted rock cools.
What is igneous rock?
200
The term used for two plates moving towards one another.
What is converging? (or colliding)
200
The process of moving weathered rock and soil by wind, water, and ice.
What is erosion?
200
The water part of the earth's surface.
What is the hydrosphere?
200
The two events that movement along plate boundaries often causes.
What is earthquakes and volcanoes?
300
The rock that forms when sedimentary rock is changed by heat and pressure.
What is metamorphic rock?
300
Seafloor spreading or rift valleys happen at this type of plate boundry where two plates are pulling apart.
What is a divergent plate boundry?
300
The denser of the two types of crust, this one subducts beneath the other if plates are converging.
What is oceanic crust?
300
The layer of the earth above the core.
What is the mantle?
300
The mountain range formed by subducting plates running through British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and nothern California which has many active volcanoes, some in Washington state. (Name two)
What is the Cascade Mountain Range. Some active volcanoes are Mt. Rainer, Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Baker, Mt. Adams, Glacier Peak in Washington state.
400
The process that forms new features such as deltas, beachers, and dunes.
What is deposition?
400
The plate boundry where two plates go opposite directions.
What is a transform boundry (or strike-slip plate)?
400
Only earthquakes happen at this type of boundry.
What is the type of activity at a transform boundry? (or strike-slip plate)
400
The layer of the earth that includes the crust and the rigid part of the mantle.
What is the lithosphere?
400
The country and the mountain range that continues to get higher due to colliding plates.
What is the Himalaya Mountains in India?
500
The process by which rock can be broken down.
What is weathering?
500
The theory that states that the earth's surface is broken into plates that move.
What is Plate Tectonics?
500
It explains how marine fossils have been found in the summits of the Olympic Mountains.
What is part of the oceanic crust being scraped off onto continental crust as it subducted?
500
It is believed to be a solid ball of Iron and Nickle.
What is the Inner Core?
500
Probably the only place in the world where the effects of two major tectonic plates drifing apart can be easily observed ABOVE sealevel.
What is Iceland?
