Remaining Study Questions

What types of land features to the different types of plate boundaries produce?
Hint #1 & #2: Match the types of boundaries up with mountains, mid-ocean ridge, and earthquakes.
Answer: Divergent= mid-ocean ridge, convergent=mountains, transform=earthquakes

Describe what type of movement occurs at convergent, divergent, and transform plate boundaries.
Hint #1: If two individuals converge, they…? Hint #2: What does it mean to diverge?
Answer: Convergent=move toward each other, divergent=move away from each other, transform= slide past each other

What are the different types of boundaries found along the edges of Earth’s plates?
Hint #1: One involves when two plates come together.Hint #2: Another involves two plates diverging.
Answer: Convergent, divergent, and transform

What is the theory of plate tectonics?
Hint #1: Involves plate movement.Hint #2: Why do the plates move?
Answer:Theory that states that pieces of Earth’s lithosphere are in constant, slow motion, driven by convection currents in the mantle.

Describe the process of subduction at a deep-ocean trench.
Hint #1: Where does all of that oceanic crust eventually get pushed towards?Hint #2: Basalt is more dense than granite.
Answer: More dense oceanic crust is subducted underneath the less dense continental crust.

Describe how sea-floor spreading occurs at the mid-ocean ridge.
Hint #1: Sea-floor results in new rock being produced.Hint #2: What major activity occurs at the mid-ocean ridge.Answer: Sea-floor spreading occurs when lava pushes through at the mid-ocean ridge and apart the oceanic crust.

Plate Tectonics Review Questions

What are the layers that make up Earth? List the 3 layers of the Earth starting from surface inward.

Hint #1: The outside of a piece of bread.
Hint #2: Very inside of an apple is called _____.

Answer: Crust, mantle, core


What two layers make up the lithosphere?

Hint #1: Moho is squished in between the two layers.
Hint #1: One starts with a c and the other with a u.

Answer: Crust and upper mantle


Convection currents occur in what part of the mantle?

Hint #1: Convection currents are a result of the hot outer core.
Hint #2: Also known as the asthenosphere.

Answer: Lower mantle


List the two types of crust and the rock that is found in each.

Hint #1: One starts with an O and the other starts with a C.
Hint #2: What rock is used for counter tops? "G"

Answer: Oceanic=basalt, continental = granite


What happens in Earth’s interior to produce Earth’s magnetic field? Describe the layers of the interior where the magnetic field is produced.

Hint #1: The outer core is liquid.
Hint #2: Involves spinning

Answer: Solid inner core spins faster than the Earth and is surrounded by liquid outer core.


What are some of the differences and similarities between the mantle and the core?

Hint #1: Liquid or solid?
Hint #2: What are they made of?

Answer: Mantle is made of melted rock. Inner core is solid and made of metals iron and nickel.


Explain how radiation, conduction, and convection are different.

Hint #1: For radiation, think about the sun.
Hint #2: For conduction think hot stove burner.

Answer: Radiation=transfer through empty space, conduction=direct contact, convection=fluid


Describe how convection currents form.

Hint #1: Involves heating from underneath.
Hint #2: Warm liquids are less dense.

Answer: Rock becomes hot and rises, cools at the surface to become more dense and then sinks.


In general, what happens to the density of a fluid when it becomes hotter?

Hint #1: Does warm air rise or sink?
Hint #2: Miss K's room is hot because hot air rises.

Answer: Density decreases


What happens to the convection currents when a fluid reaches a constant temperature?

Hint #1: If you stop adding heat to a boiling pan of water, what happens?
Hint #2: Constant temperature means that the liquids have the same temperature and density.

Answer: Convection currents stop.
