QuestionAnswer
What is the Marian's trench? The Mariana's Trench is the deepest natural trench in the world, created by the subduction of the Pacific plate under the Mariana plate
What is the mantle? The mantle is the mostly-solid bulk of the Earth's interior. It lies between Earth's dense, super-heated core and it's thin outer layer- the crust.
What is the hottest part of the Earth? The inner core is the hottest part of the Earth
What is the theory of continental drift? Continental Drift is a theory that explained how continents move around Earth's surface
What is Pangea? Pangaea refers to the super continent that existed approximately 225 million years ago
What is the Ring Of Fire? The Ring Of Fire is an area of frequent seismic and volcanic activity and notably contains 452 volcanoes
What is a mega quake? A mega quake is a very powerful earthquake, generally with a richer scale value exceeding 7
What is folding? Folding occurs when heat and pressure are applied to rock layers in the Earth's crust, causing bending and layering of the original strata (layers).
What is faulting? Faulting occurs when two parallel plates move alongside one another, often causing earth quakes
What is a seismograph? A seismograph is a tool used to measure the intensity of an earthquake
What is the lithosphere? The lithosphere is the rigid outer part of the Earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle. it floats on the asthenosphere
What is igneous? Igneous is a type of rock formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava
What is sedimentary? Sedimentary rocks are formed by the accumulation of layer upon layer of sediments over time
What is the subduction zone? The subduction zone is located at the meeting of two plates, where one plate is forced under the other
What is oceanic crust? Oceanic crust underlies the ocean, it is thinner, but more dense than continental crust because of the pressure of the water above it
How many ecozones does Canada have? Canada has 15 ecozones, which are all identified by factors such as climate, soil, vegetation and animals
What is a tsunami? A tsunami is a series of ocean waves that send surges of water, sometimes reaching heights of over 100 feet (30.5 meters), onto land. Often caused by undersea earthquakes
What is a ritcher scale? A ritcher scale is the scale of numbers used to tell the size of earthquakes (ranging from 1 - 10)
What is an example of a subduction zone? The Ring of Fire
What are the effects of plate movement? 1) Volcanoes and island chains 2) Mountain Building 3) Earthquakes, tsunamis and mudslides 4) Ocean trenches 5) Seafloor spreading + expansion of ocean bottom 6) Formation of mineral deposits
What is the order of ears from first to present? PreCambrian Era, Paleozoic Era, Mesozoic Era, Cenozoic Era
What is the era we are currently in? We are currently in the Cenozoic Era
What is the longest era? PreCambrian era is the longest era
What is the oldest era? PreCambrian Era is the oldest era
What is one geological and biological event if the PreCambrian Era? Geological: Water rained from the atmosphere and created oceans Biological: Single-cell organisms appear
What is one geological and biological event from the Palezoic Era? Geological: Super continents Biological: Largest mass extinction, fungi appears
What is one geological and biological event from the Mesozoic Era? Geological: Innuitans and Rocky Mountains formed Biological: Age of dinosaurs
What is one geological and biological event from the Cenozoic Era? Geological: an ice age Biological: Humans come to exist
Earth's parts starting from middle: Inner core (solid), Outer core (liquid), Mantle, Crust
How is the inner core the hottest part of the Earth but is also solid? It is still solid because of the amount of pressure but on it from the other parts of the earth, it has no room to move
What are Canada's 7 landform regions? Innuatian mountains, Western Cordillera, Appalachians, Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Lowlands, Hudson Bay and Arctic Lowlands, Interior Plains, Canadian Shield
What landform do you live in? I live in the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Lowlands
What is the biggest landform region in Canada? The Canadian Shield is the biggest landform region in Canada
What is the region has large oil and gas deposits? The interior Plains have large oil and gas deposits
What region has the Rocky Mountains? The Western Cordillera is the region with the Rocky Mountains
What region is the coldest? The Innuatian Mountains is the coldest region
What highlands region has the oldest, most eroded mountains? The Appalachians are the oldest, most eroded mountains
What region has polar bears, boggy marshes and lots of bugs? The Hudson Bay and Arctic Lowlands has lots of polar bears, boggy marshes, and lots of bugs
What is the mist population region? The Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Lowlands is the most populated region
