Question | Answer |
---|---|
whats is the difference between a continent and tectonic plate | continents are inside plates, plates hold continents |
theory of plate technonics | Divergent in this movement the plates move apart the magma from the interior of the earth flows toward the surface |
how do plates move? | The heat from radioactive processes within the planet's interior causes the plates to move, |
how are igneous rocks formed | when hot, molten rock crystallizes and solidifies |
sedimentary rocks how are formed | tiny rocks molded together by pressure |
metamorphic rocks how are formed | when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure |
rock cycle | Weathering & Erosion, Transportation, Deposition, Compaction & Cementation, Metamorphism, Rock Melting. |
why do rocks change | Earth's internal heat, pressure from tectonic processes, and the effects of water, wind, gravity, and biological (including human) activities. |
plate bounderies | divergent, convergent, and transform |
divergent how move | away from eachother |
convergent how move | when plates move towards each other and collide |
transform how move | tectonic plates slide horizontally past each other |
divergent what happens | earthquakes are common and magma rises from the Earth's mantle, solidifying to create new oceanic crust. |
convergent what happens | mountains, volcanos, or subduction zones that form large trenches |
transform what happens | shallow earthquakes, large lateral displacement of rock, and a broad zone of crustal deformation. |
what are the attributes of minerales | hardness, luster, color, streak, specific gravity, cleavage, fracture, and tenacity. |
