Chapter 1: Plate tectonics (Earth's Core)

The inner most layer of the Earth. Layer is made of solid metals.

The San Andres Fault in California is what type of plate boundary?

The currents that move in the mantle?  Hot magma rises and cools helping plates move.

The type of convergent boundary in which large mountain ranges are formed? Alps, Rockies...

The two types of Earthś crust are?

When plumes of magma rise in columns, melting the crust and creating volcanic islands!

The scientist who developed the theory of continental drift?

The thickest layer of the Earth. Is contains the convection currents which help move the plate

The layer of the Earth made up of the crust and upper mantle? Tectonic plates r part of layer.

What things occur at a subduction zone? One is the formation of deep trench and the other is?

Sink holes, underground caves and underground water are found in what layer of the Earth?

The switch in the direction of Earthś magnetic field.

The large valley that forms as plate separate or move apart from each other?

The Hawaiian Islands are an example of a? A place where hot plume of magma reaches the surface

The specific feature that forms as one oceanic plate subducts under another oceanic plate!

A layer of liquid metals that surround the inner core of the Earth.

The large landmass named by Alfred Wegener.  Name means "giant land" in greek!

A long line of underwater mountains where new ocean crust is formed along a divergent boundary.

The outer layer of the Earth where all life is found? Also the thinnest layer!

Layer of Earth made from the lower mantle & directly under the Lithosphere.

The type of plate boundary in which plates are moving apart? Mid-Atlantic Ridge is example.

The coastal mountains of California, Oregon & Washington are what type of convergent boundary?

One of the large moving pieces into which Earth's lithosphere is broken into.
