yes

Question 1

plate tectonics

Answer 1

parts of the earths lithosphere that are in constant motion.

Question 2

divergent boundary

Answer 2

plates divide

Question 3

convergent boundary

Answer 3

plates collide

Question 4

transform boundary

Answer 4

plates slide passed eachother

Question 5

convection currents

Answer 5

this makes the plates move

Question 6

pangea

Answer 6

a large landmass that began to break a part 200 million years ago.

Question 7

Continental Drift

Answer 7

Alfred Wegener’s theory that continents slowly moved over Earth’s surface

Question 8

Seafloor Spreading

Answer 8

Older oceanic crust is pushed away from the mid-ocean ridge as new rock is formed.

Question 9

Mid-Ocean Ridges

Answer 9

An undersea mountain chain

Question 10

Deep-Ocean Trenches

Answer 10

A deep valley along the ocean floor where oceanic crust slowly sinks toward the mantle.

Question 11

Subduction

Answer 11

The process by which oceanic crust sinks beneath

Question 12

rift vallys

Answer 12

A rift valley is a lowland region that forms where Earth’s tectonic plates move apart, or rift.

Question 13

Folded Mountains

Answer 13

Folded mountains are created where two or more of Earth’s tectonic plates are pushed together.

Question 14

Earthquakes

Answer 14

A sudden movement along a boundary of a tectonic plate.

Question 15

Fault

Answer 15

A break or crack in Earth’s crust.

Question 16

Volcanoes

Answer 16

An opening in the earth’s crust through which lava, volcanic ash, and gasses escape.

Question 17

Types of Volcanoes

Answer 17

Composite- Built by alternating layers of lava flows and ash flows, explosive eruptions
Shield- Thick flowing, slow moving lava, gentle eruptions
Cinder Cone
Lava Dome

Question 18

Volcanic Arc of Islands

Answer 18

When two oceanic crusts collide, the older, more dense crust will subduct. Hot, remelted material from the subducting slab rises and leaks into the crust, forming a chain of volcanoes/islands.

Question 19

Magma vs Lava

Answer 19

Magma- molten rock under the ground
Lava- molten rock above the ground

Question 20

Richter Scale

Answer 20

Scale that measures the amount of earthquake energy/magnitude.
1-10

Question 21

Tsunami

Answer 21

A series of waves caused by an earthquake or underwater volcanic eruption.

Question 22

Plate Movement

Answer 22

Driven by convection- can cause earthquakes, which can also cause tsunamis.

Question 23

Weathering
