OM NOm NoM
Layers of the earth?
crust, lithosphere, asthenosphere/mesophere, outer core, innner core
where do convection currents occur in the earths layers?
Mantle/aesthenosphere
boundereies
divergent boundary and landforms created
rift valley zones (ocean and land) and MIDOCEAN RIDGE
boundereies
Divergent bounderies landform location?
African Rift Valley and MID OCEAN RIDGES (ex, indian)
boundereies
Convergent (con-con) what is created
continental folded mountains
boundereies
is convergent (con-con) subduction prone?
ummm I’m actually not sure but the notes say no sooo
boundereies
convergent (con-con) is crust created or broken
some is destroyed and some deformation occurs (compression)
boundereies
example of convergent (con-con) landforms locations
Himalayan moutanisn in NORTHERN india
boundereies
convergent (cont AND oceanic), what do they create
they create COASTAL uplifted/folded mountains and volcanic mountain ranges
boundereies
do convergent (cont-oceanic) destroy or create crust
uhhhh des troy bc they collide and destroy SOME crust
boundereies
convergent (con-ocean) landform examples?
Andes Mountains in SOUTH AMERICA
boundereies
convergent (oc-oc), what landform is created?
tenches and volcanic islands
boundereies
convergent (oc-oc) crust destroyed or no
some crust destroyed
boundereies
convergnet (oc-oc) landform examples?
Aleutian Islands in Alaska
Take a brake
take a break :D
(this is the part where you say yes)
