Answer 3

Flooding landslides

Question 4

Answer 10

Crust
mantle
outer core
inner core

Question 11

what is the mantle full of?

Answer 11

molten rock flowing slowly

Question 12

convection currents in the mantle

Question 13

what are the two types of tectonic plates?

Answer 13

oceanic crust

continental crust

Question 14

is the oceanic crust a thick or thin layer

Answer 14

Thin

Question 15

is the continental crust a thick or thin layer?

Answer 15

Thick

Question 16

how are destructive plate margins formed?

Answer 16

continental meets continental 
no subduction of plates 
plates collide and cause mountains to forms 
earthquakes will occur
no volcanoes

Question 17

destructive plate movement continental with oceanic

Answer 17

more dense oceanic plate subducted below the continental plate
its taken down to the hot manle which will melt and become apart of the magama
new magma will pop out the other side and cause volcanoes

Question 18

conservative plate movement

Answer 18

two plate moving against each other causing friction that leads to earthquakes
no volcanoes

Question 19

constructive plate movement

Answer 19

plates moving the opposite direction
the magma becomes exposed as the plates separates causing it to reach the surface and cool down into new rocks.
can lead to rift valley

Question 21

( natural hazards)

secondary effects

Answer 21

the after effect of a natural hazard, over a long period of time, days, months, years

Question 22

( natural hazards)

the immediate effect

Answer 22
