Extinction
If hunting of an animal continues, what could happen to their population?
The population will continue to decrease and possibly become extinct.
What is the primary type of wave that travels through the Earth's interior?
P Waves
The three main rocks of the Rock Cycle
metamorphic, igneous, & sedimentary?
Divergent boundary
where two plates move apart or diverge
what is the mantle made of?
soft semi-solid layer of rock/Melted rock
What is an example of something that can contributes to extinction?
Pollution, habitat loss, environment changes, invasive species etc
True or False: S waves can travel through liquids.
False
The rock that forms mainly from heat and pressure
Metamorphic
Igneous Rock
Magma or Lava cooling.
Extrusive - lava
Intrusive - Magma
what is a transform boundary?
where plates slide past one another moving in opposite directions
What are fossils best used to show evidence of?
plants and animals that lived long ago
True or False: Surface waves only travel on the surface of the Earth
True
The rock that forms of erosion, compaction, and cementation
Sedimentary
Asthenosphere
a semi-solid layer of Earth's upper mantle that lies below the lithosphere. Helps move the plates
What geological feature is created by a Divergent Plate Boundary?
Mid Ocean Ridge/Rift Valleys
How are we able to tell if an organism has become extinct?
fossils of the organism are found in the older rock layers
Can P waves travel through both solids and liquids?
Yes
The two types of igneous rock that form inside and outside of a volcano?
Intrusive and Extrusive
pangea
a super continent made of all the current continents together over 225 million years ago
what happens when two continental plates pull apart?
sea floor spreading
What is something that would NOT lead to extinction of a species?
Reproduction
What causes P&S / Surface waves to travel into the earth
Earthquakes caused by tectonic plates
What is an agent of weathering?
Wind, Snow, Rain, Ice, Hail
Intrusion
What is an agent of weathering?
Why do the plates move ?
convection currents in the mantle drive plate movement.
