Q

Has global warming increased or deacresed and how

A

Global warming has increased by frequency and magnitude of natural hazards
Eg flood, forest fires, droughts,hurricanes

Q

Define Mantle

A

A layer of rock between the core and the crust made of molten rock includes magma

17
Q

Is the outer core solid or liquid

18
Q

Is the inner core dense and is it a solid or a liquid

A

It is very dense and a solid rock

19
Q

Learn the table

A

Learn the table in book on post it note

20
Q

Learn the plate boundaries

A

On the poster

21
Q

What makes tectonic plate move

A

Convection current

22
Q

What is the core temperature around

A

6000 degrees

23
Q

What does the core temperature cause

A

The molten rock magma to rise in the mantle and sinks towards the core when it cools

24
Q

What do the current flow carry in the mantle

A

The plate margins

25
What is a slab pull theory
At the constructive margins ocean ridges from above the ocean floor. Beneath it the mantle melts (molten magma rises as the plates move apart and cools down from a new plate material) As it cools it slides down the ridge making the plates to move away (ridge push)
26
What does a destructive margin do
The plate gets denser and sinks back into the mantle under the influence of gravity which pulls the plate along with it (slab pull)
