Stack #4559500

QuestionAnswer
divergent boundaries are when tectonic plates are pulling apart from each other, cause normal faults
convergent boundaries which involve the plates moving together, cause reverse faults.
transform boundaries are formed when plates move past each other, causing strike-slip faults
crust the outer layer, heathers magnetic field
mantle Middle layer, thickest layer
core hottest, most compressed, most densest
lithosphere tectonic plates are on this layer, some of earths crust
asthenosphere the weak sphere, in the mantle
mesosphere Middle sphere rest of the mantle
3 reasons of heat within earths interior 1. moving objects have kinetic energy 2. gravity pulls dense
alfred vagner came up with the theory of continental drift
theory of plate tectonics that the plates on the lithosphere are moving from convection currents in the asthenosphere
sea floor spreading magma is forced up through the oceanic crust and forms new crust in the middle of the rige
the layers going in to out inner core, outer core, mantle, crust
as you travel further into the earth, the pressure increases
which layer is mostly liquid nickel and iron outer core
the movement of the plates is caused by convection currents found within the mantle
which layer is made of the three different types of rock: igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary the crust
which of the layers are from coldest to hottest crust mantle, outer core, inner core
which layer is responsible for the magnetic field the outer core
which of the best explains why the inner core is solid how high the pressure is
what explains what is different between the inner core and outer core how the outer core is mostly fluid, and the inner core is solid
true or false, the mantle is solid but can flow under pressure true
true or false the inner core is hollow false
convection currents density of mantle material is less than the material above it (because it is hot) so it starts to rise

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
