Question 1

State two ways in which continental crust and oceanic crust are different

Answer 1

1. Position compared to the Ocean

   Oceanic is mostly below the ocean
2. What rock makes up the crust (composition of crust)
   Continental is made of granite
   Oceanic is made of basalt

Question 2

What are the three types of plate boundaries?

Answer 2

Convergent, Divergent, Conservative

Question 3

What is a convergent plate boundary? (Give me the special Word to describe the movement of the plates.)

Answer 3

When oceanic plate goes below continental plate (subduction)

Question 4

What is the Effect of a convergent plate boundary? (give Special name)

Answer 4

Destructive - old crust (Oceanic plate) is destroyed

Question 5

What will happen at a convergent boudary?

Answer 5

Earthquakes and strato - volcanoes

Question 6

What is a Divergent Plate Boundary? (Give me the special Word to describe the movement of the plates.)

Answer 6

when two plates spread in opposite ways

Question 7

What is the effect of Divergent Plate Boundary?(special name)

Answer 7

Constructive - new crust created A crust factory.

Question 8

what will happen at a Divergent Plate Boundary?

Answer 8

Earthquakes and shield volcanoes

Question 9

what is a conservative plate boundary?

Answer 9

The plates slide sideways by each other

Question 10

what is the effect of conservative plate boundary?

Answer 10

Crust neither created nor destroyed
