Science midterm review part 2

when 2 continental plates collide (Convergent), 2 plates buckle/fold up, creating mountains

Label the layers of the earth in correct order starting with the center Of the earth.

When do you ocean plates diverge, what is formed? And what occurs?

A place where two plates slip past each other, moving in opposite directions

Name of the single landmass (supercontinent) that broke apart millions of years ago.

Scientist believe that the earths inner core is made mostly of

What occurs in a transform boundary?

What is continental drift?

What type of plate boundaries this?

What type of convergent boundary is this?

How do convection currents affect the movement of tectonic plates?

The layer of the earth that is rigid and broken into tech tonic plates. Made of crust/mantle

Label the layers of the earth in correct order starting with the center Of the earth.

Where are convection currents located?

Where is the oldest part of the ocean floor found?

Hype semi solid rock with convection currents which move the tectonic plates

Which type of feature forms at a divergent boundary?

An example of a great rift valley is in

This is an example of what kind of boundary?

What is molten rock called while it is inside the earth?

The process by which the ocean floor sinks beneath a deep ocean trench and back into the mantle

The inner core is solid because of extreme temperatures and extreme pressure

Convection currents exist inside this layer of mantle

The outer core is solid or liquid molten iron/nickel.

The process by which molten material adds new oceanic crust to the ocean floor

Which type of boundary makes the tallest mountains?

What process in the mantle moves the plates like a conveyor belt ?

Who has the best mom in the world for making this Quiz?

this Layer of earth is extremely hot. (Most hot)

What is molten rock called once it it is on the earth’s surface.

We live on this layer.

What forms when a continental and oceanic plate collide?

The layer of the earth mantle which the tectonic plates are able to move around on. Semi solid
