SOL 5.7 Science Review

This layer is the most dense layer

At which plate boundary are mountains most likely to form?

The hottest layers of the Earth are near the 

We live on the Earth's mantle.

The theory that all continents are fragments of Pangea now moving apart

The outermost layer of the earth is the 

The large land mass that existed millions of years ago is?

When two plates rub against one another at a transform boundary what may occur?

The earth's plates are constantly moving.

This layer is a solid layer made mostly of iron and nickel.

A number of slowly moving but rigid pieces of the crust

The thinnest layer of the earth

This layer is best described as a soft, pliable solid.

The inner core is a liquid layer of iron and nickel.

The three types of plate boundaries are convergent, divergent and transform.

What is the type of boundary where one plate slides under another plate?

Two continental plates that slide past one another are called a _________________ boundary.

The inner core is made of liquid metal which generates Earth's magnetic field.

The theory that the earth is made up of large plates that constantly move is plate tectonics.

The Himalayan Mountains are a result of this type of boundary

The earth's crust is thinnest under the ocean and thicker under the continents

A mid ocean ridge likely occurs at this boundary

Tectonic plates float on top of the

As we go deeper into the Earth, pressure and temperature increase.
