lesson 3-5

Question 1

convergent subduction

Answer 1

this is when the more dense plate will go under the less dense plate causing subduction to occur ultimately creating something like volcanoes.

Question 2

Continental convergence/collision

Answer 2

When two continental crustal plates collide, the continents buckle upward and form mountains.

Question 3

convection

Answer 3

currents that happen due to the heat. There is the convection cycle which is a cycle where the convection currents go through. The heat will go up, then move to the sides, then cool and come back down. The heat moves the plates/magma.

Question 4

volcanoes

Answer 4

they are formed from the movement of convergent plate boundaries. The more dense plate will stay under and the less dense plate will go up. Magma will push through the plates causing a volcano to be formed

Question 5

ring of fire

Answer 5

a place in the ocean where there are many volcanoes. This is on a convergent plate boundary showing why earthquakes are able to form here

Question 6

earthquakes

Answer 6

they are caused by the plates movement, transform boundaries are where they usually occur

Question 7

divergent plate boundary

Answer 7

a plate boundary where the plates go away from each other

Question 8

transform plate boundary

Answer 8

a plate boundary where the plates go side to side

Question 9

convergent plate boundary

Answer 9

a plate boundary where the plates go towards each other

Question 10

density

Answer 10

there are different ones to the crust. The oceanic crust is denser than the continental crust.

Question 11

Oceanic Plates

Answer 11

they are more dense, will go under in subduction, are in the ocean, can great different things depending on the plate boundary

Question 12

Continental Plates

Answer 12

they are less dense than oceanic plates, they will go up in subduction, when two continental plates collide, they will go up and form a mountains
