Earth Science Tectonics Review

This plate is next to the African, Indian-Australian, and Eurasian Plates. 

Which are part of the Lithosphere?

boundaries that move past one another creating earthquakes and fissures

the sun hitting your face, or a microwave heating up food is an example of 

Evidence: convection currents moved tectonic plates, which then moves Pangea into pieces

boundaries that move towards each other creating mountains

where fissures occur from transform boundaries grinding past each other

You transfer heat by touch with 

when one DENSER tectonic plate moved underneath the other

when new crust forms from the crustal center

Evidence: similar minerals were found to match in very distant coastlines

ice that melts on a table is an example of 

You transfer heat through particles that emit wavelengths in 

this is an intermediate plate that is next to the Pacific Plate, and Eurasian Plate

Evidence: ice rings printed on the ground connected distance continents 

This area around the pacific Ocean contains the 

Which layer is made of liquid iron, S-waves cannot go through, and has a magnetic field?

boundaries that move away from each other creating rift valleys and ridges

Evidence: similar organisms found in distant lands were believed to live together at one point

this is a major tectonic plate, it is next to the South American and Pacific Plate.

Which layer is made of solid nickel and iron?

Which crust is more dense?

you transfer heat from dense areas to least dense areas within a system in 

Which layer contains Convection currents where rocks "flow."

where you see lava reach new land from the subduction process
