| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| THERE ARE 3 TYPES OF PLATE BOUNDARIES | DIVERGENT, TRANSFORM AND CONVERGENT |
| PLATE MOVEMENT IS CAUSED BY CONVECTION CURRENTS | PULLING AND PUSHING THE CRUST |
| COMMON FEATURES OF DIVERGENT BOUNDARIES | RIFT VALLEY, MID-OCEAN RIDGES, SEAFLOOR SPREADING |
| TRANSFORM BOUNDARIES | TWO PLATES MOVE SIDE TO SIDE, PLATES ARE PARALLEL TO THE DIRECTION OF PLATE MOVEMENT |
| CONVERGENT BOUNDARIES | WHERE TWO PLATES ARE MOVING TOGETHER OR COLLIDING, A SUBDUCTION ZONE OCCURS WHEN ONE PLATE MOVES UNDER THE OTHER |
| CONVERGENT BOUNDARIES FACT | DIFFERENCE IN DENSITY WILL MAKE THE OTHER PLATE SINK |
| OCEANIC-CONTINENTAL BOUNDARY | DENSER OCEANIC CRUST SINKS INTO THE ASTHENOSPHERE, CONTINENTAL VOLCANOES FORM BY THE SUBDUCTION OF OCEANIC LITHOSPHERE BENEATH A CONTINENT, POCKET MAGMA DEVELOP AND RISE TO FORM VOLCANOES |
| OCEANIC-OCEANIC BOUNDARY | TWO OCEAN PLATES CONVERGE AND ONE SUBDUCTS BENEATH THE OTHER, THIS TYPE OF BOUNDARY OFTEN FORMS VOLCANOES ON THE OCEAN FLOOR, VOLCANIC ISLANDS FORM AS A VOLCANO EMERGES FROM THE SEA |
| CONTINENTAL-CONTINENTAL BOUNDARY | WHEN TWO CONTINENTAL PLATES COLLIDE AND ONE PLATE SUBDUCTS UNDER THE OTHER, THIS KIND OF BOUNDARY PRODUCES MOUNTAIN RANGES |
| WHICH STATEMENT BEST SUPPORTS THE THEORY THAT ALL CONTINENTS WERE ONCE A SINGLE LANDMASS? | ROCK AND FOSSIL CORRELATION CAN BE MADE WHERE THE CONTINENTS APPEAR TO FIT TOGETHER |
| WHICH STATEMENT BEST SUPPORTS THE THEORY OF CONTINENTAL DRIFT? | THE PRESENT CONTINENTS APPEAR TO FIT TOGETHER AS PIECES OF LARGER LANDMASS |
| THE THEORY OF CONTINENTAL DRIFT SUGGESTS THAT | PRESENT-DAY CONTINENTS OF SOUTH AMERICA AND AFRICA ONCE FIT TOGETHER LIKE PUZZLE PARTS |
| IN WHICH DIRECTION DO PLATES MOVE AT A DIVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARY? | THEY MOVE APART |
| WHAT IS CREATED WHEN MAGMA COMES TO THE SURFACE? | NEW CRUST |
| WHAT EVENTUALLY FORMS AT THE CENTER OF A DIVERGENT BOUNDARY? | MID-OCEAN RIDGE UNDER WATER HILLS |
| WHERE ARE THE YOUNGEST ROCKS FOUND AT A DIVERGENT BOUNDARY ? | RIDGE |
| WHERE ARE THE OLDEST ROCKS FOUND AT A DIVERGENT BOUNDARY? | TOWARDS THE CONTINENTS |
| CONVERSION | HEAD ON COLLISION |
| WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THE AGE OF THE ROCK AS IT SPREADS OUT? | GETS OLDER |
| DEFOUCES EARTHQUAKES | PRE FIX SUB-UNDERWATER |
| WHAT IS THE DIRECTION OF MOVEMENT OF TECTONIC PLATES AT A CONVERGENT BOUNDARY? | COME TOGETHER |
| WHAT LAND FEATURE IS CREATED WHEN TWO CONTINENTAL PLATES COLLIDE? | MOUNTAINS |
| WHAT DOES THE TERM SUBDUCTION MEAN? | TO GO UNDER |
| DESCRIBE THE MOTION THAT OCCURS TO CREATE EARTHQUAKES ALONG A TRANSFORM BOUNDARY? | 2 PLATES SLIDE PAST EACH OTHER AND RUB TOGETHER LIKE SANDPAPER |
| WHAT CAN'T DEEP-FOCUS EARTHQUAKES OCCUR AT A TRANSFORM PLATE BOUNDARY? | THE EARTHQUAKES ARE CLOSE TO THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH |
| ACCORDING TO YOUR ESRT WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE TRANSFORM BOUNDARY THAT CAUSES MAJOR EARTHQUAKES TO OCCUR ON THE EASTERN PART OF THE PACIFIC? | MID-OCEAN RIDGE |
| SEAFLOOR SPREADING IS OCCURING AT THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN THE | INDIAN-AUSTRALIAN PLATE AND THE ANTARCTIC PLATE |
| WHICH FEATURE IS COMMONLY FORMED AT A PLATE BOUNDARY WHERE OCEANIC CRUST CONVERGES WITH CONTINENTAL CRUST? | AN OCEAN TRENCH |
| WHAT ARE THE MOST LIKELY GEOLOGIC AGES Of VOLCANOES OF B AND D | B IS 5 MILLION YEARS OLD AND D IS 12 MILLION YEARS OLD |
| BENEATH WHICH SURFACE LOCATION IS EARTH'S CRUST THE THINNEST? | EAST PACIFIC RIDGE |
| ACCORDING TO TECTONIC PLATE MAPS NEW YORK STATE IS PRESENTLY LOCATED | NEAR THE CENTER OF A LARGE PLATE |
| WHICH EVIDENCE CAUSES MOST SCIENTISTS TO BELIEVE THE SEAFLOOR SPREADING OCCURS AT THE MID-ATLANTIC RIDGE? | OCEANIC CRUST ON BOTH SIDES OF THE RIDGE SHOWS MATCHING PATTERNS OF REVERSED AND NORMAL MAGNETIC POLARITY |
| COMPARED TO OCEANIC CRUST CONTINENTAL CRUST IS GENERALLY | OLDER AND THINNER |
| IN WHICH EARTH LAYER ARE MOST CONVECTION CURRENTS THAT CAUSE SEAFLOOR SPREADING THOUGHT TO BE LOCATED? | ASTHENOSPHERE |
| AS THE PLATES MOVE APART | MAGMA SEEPS UP AND CREATES A NEW OCEAN CRUST |
| OCEAN RIDGE | ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT DIVERGENCE MOUNTAINS |
| THE BIGGEST PLATE MOVEMENT | CAUSES EARTHQUAKES IN WEST COAST CALIFORNIA |
| OCEAN TRENCH | ALWAYS FIND WHERE PLATES ARE COMING TOGETHER |
| LIST ONE FEATURE THAT CORRESPONDS TO A DIVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARY | MID-OCEAN RIDGE |
| LIST ONE FEATURE THAT CORRESPONDS TO A CONVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARY | OCEAN TRENCHES |
| LIST ONE FEATURE THAT CORRESPONDS TO A TRANSFORM PLATE BOUNDARY | FREQUENT EARTHQUAKES |
| WHICH NEST DESCRIBES A MAJOR CHARACTERISTIC OF BOTH VOLCANOES AND EARTHQUAKES | THEY ARE LOCATED IN THE SAME GEOGRAPHIC AREAS |
| ONE OF THESE TRENCHES IS LOCATED AT THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN WHICH PLATES? | AUSTRALIAN AND PACIFIC |
| COLLISIONS BETWEEN OCEANIC PLATES AND CONTINENTAL PLATES ARE THOUGHT TO RESULT PRIMARILY FROM | CONVECTION CURRENTS IN THE MANTLE |
| THIS DISTRIBUTION OF EARTHQUAKES NEAR THE PLATE BOUNDARY IS MOST LIKELY CAUSED BY | SUBDUCTION OF A CRUSTAL PLATE |
| ACCORDING TO TECTONIC PLATE MAPS, NEW YORK STATE IS PRESENTLY LOCATED | NEAR THE CENTER OF A LARGE PLATE |
| SEISMOLOGY | THE STUDY OF EARTHQUAKES |
| SEISMOGRAPH | INSTRUMENT THAT RECORDS EARTHQUAKE WAVES |
| SEISMOGRAM | A TRACE PRODUCE RECORDING GROUND MOTION |
| MERCALLI INTENSITY SCALE | MEASUREMENT OF HOW MUCH THE GROUND SHAKES DURING AN EARTHQUAKE DEPENDING OF WHAT NEAR BY RESIDENTS SAY |
| RICHTER MAGNITUDE SCALE | LOGARITHMIC SCALE THAT MEASURES THE MAGNITUDE OF AN EARTHQUAKES HIGHEST SEISMIC WAVE |
| EARTHQUAKE MAGNITUDE | THE ENERGY THAT IS RELEASED DURING AN EARTHQUAKE |
| DESPITE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF RESEARCH EFFORTS TO PREDICT EARTHQUAKES | HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL |
| WHERE ARE EARTHQUAKES MOST LIKELY TO TAKE PLACE | NEAR A FAULT ZONE |
| WHICH STATEMENT CORRECTLY COMPARES SEISMIC P-WAVES WITH SEISMIC S-WAVES | P-WAVES TRAVEL FASTER THAN S-WAVES AND PASS THROUGH EARTH'S LIQUID ZONES |
| WHICH STATEMENT ABOUT EARTHQUAKE WAVES BEST SUPPORTS THE INFERENCE THAT EARTH'S OUTER CORE IS LIQUID | SHEAR WAVES TRAVEL ONLY THROUGH SOLIDS |
| A CHARACTERISTIC OF COMPRESSIONAL WAVES AND SHEAR WAVES IS THAT THEY BOTH | TRAVEL FASTER THROUGH MORE DENSE SOLID MATERIALS |
| ALTERNATING PARALLEL BANDS OF NORMAL AND REVERSED MAGNETIC POLARITY ARE FOUND IN THE BASALTIC BEDROCK ON EITHER SIDE OF THE | MID-ATLANTIC RIDGE |
| WHICH TYPE OF CRUSTAL MOVEMENT MOST LIKELY CAUSED THE DISPLACEMENT OF FEATURES IN THIS AREA | MOVEMENT ALONG A TRANSFORM FAULT |
| WHICH EVENT PROVIDES DIRECT EVIDENCE OF CRUSTAL MOVEMENT | THE DISPLACEMENT OF ROCK STRATA DURING AN EARTHQUAKE |
| STRATA | LAYERS OF ROCK |
| WHAT ACTION MOST LIKELY FORMED THIS MOUNTAIN RANGE | EARTHQUAKE FAULTING |
| THE DIFFERENCE IN ARRIVAL TIME BETWEEN P AND S WAVES PROVIDES A WAY | TO LOCATE THE EPICENTER |
| THE GREATER THE TIME INTERVAL BETWEEN P AND S WAVES | THE GREATER THE DISTANCE TO THE EARTHQUAKE |
| TEMPERATURE , PRESSURE , DENSITY | INCREASES WITH DEPTH AS YOU TRAVEL FROM THE CRUST TOWARDS THE CORE OF THE EARTH |
| ORIGINAL HORIZONTALITY | ALL ROCK LAYERS ARE ORIGINALLY DEPOSITED AS FLAT, HORIZONTAL UNITS |
| DEFINITION OF EARTHQUAKE | VIOLENT SHAKING AND MOVEMENT OF THE EARTH'S CRUST ALONG A FAULT OR ZONE OF WEAKNESS |
| ORIGIN TIME | THE ACTUAL TIME AN EARTHQUAKE OCCURRED |
| FAULT LINE | A BREAK OR FRACTURE IN EARTH'S CRUST WHERE STRESS HAS BUILT UP |
| FOCUS | THE POINT WITHIN THE EARTH WHERE THE EARTHQUAKE STARTS AND ENERGY IS RELEASED |
| SURFACE WAVES | TRAVEL ALONG THE EARTH'S OUTER LAYER, THEY ARE THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE EARTHQUAKE WAVES , THE GROUND MOVES UP AND DOWN AND BACK AND FORTH |
