EarthandEnergMovment
latitude/longitude tectonic motion on the earths crust.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Convergent boundaries- | When 2 plates move TOWARD each other. |
| What do Convergent Boundaries cause? | Subduction Zones, deep sea trenches,Mountain building, earth quakes and volcanoes. |
| What's a Subduction Zone? | Caused by convergent boundaries is where one plate slides under another |
| What type of collision are Deep sea trenches? | Ocean continent(O-C) |
| What collisions are mountain building? | Continent Continent(C-C |
| Divergent boundaries- | When 2 plates move away from each other |
| What does Divergent Boundaries cause? | Seafloor Spreading and the mid Atlantic ridge |
| What's the longest mountain chain on earth? | The Mid Atlantic Ridge |
| Transform boundries- | When 2 plates slide past each other moving in dif directions. |
| What can Transform Boundaries cause? | Transform faults,earthquakes and the sand Andreas fault in Cal. |
| Whats a fault that occurs at a transform boundary. | San Andreas fault in cal |
| How does earth generate heat? | Friction and Decay of radioactive elements. |
| How does Friction generate heat for the earth? | Friction As liquide parts of the core move around as the earth/moon/sun move in the solar system generate heat ig |
| What are the spheres? | Geosphere, Hydrosphere,Atmosphere,Bosphere |
| Which of the layers is thickest? Which are the thinnest? | Atmosphere is the thickest and biosphere and hydrosphere are the smallest |
| What's the Geosphere? | The solid part of the earth: including rocks,minerals and land forms that make up a planets surface and interior. |
| What order do the basic layers of the earth go in? | Crust-Upper mantle-lower mantle-outercore-inner core |
| What does latitude measure? | The distance away from the equator |
| What are latitude lines also called? | Parallels |
| What latitudes are colder an hotter. | Low latitude=hot high=cold |
| what is the outermost shell that is shaped into tectonic plates. | lithosphere. |
| what's is the asthenosphere? | A solid plastic layer of mantle rock that flows slowly,allowing tectonic plates to move on top of it. |
| what is the inner core | A dense sphere of solid nickel and iron at the earths center, kept solid by immense pressure |
| what's the mantle | the layer between the crust and the core, making up -68% of Earth's mass, made of medium density,iron rich materials. |
| How do the lithosphere and asthenosphere differ? | .lithosphere is above the asthenosphere. Lisosphere is also made of tectonic plates and asthenosphere is made of mantle rock |
| Lithosphere | Includes the crust and upper part of the mantle |
| Asthenosphere | Between the mesosphere and lithosphere made of rock that flows very slowly underneath tectonic plates |
| Mesosphere | Between asthenosphere and the outer core (lower mantle?) |
