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.
Hint #1: The outside of a piece of bread.
