Plate Tectonic Trivia!!

This layer of the Earth is approximately 5-40 km deep and contains the Earth’s surface and the ocean floor.

THE CRUST

This layer of the Earth consists of two layers, makes up about 80% of the Earth’s volume, and is almost 3,000 km deep.

THE MANTLE THE TWO LAYERS ARE _______?????

What two metals is the core made out of???

IRON AND NICKEL

What is the difference in consistency between the inner core and the outer core?

INNER CORE: SOLID METAL OUTER CORE: MOLTEN LIQUID METAL

What two things increase as you go deeper into the Earth???

TEMPERATURE and PRESSURE

What type of currents are in the mantle?

CONVECTION CURRENTS

The tectonic plates are the ____________ layer of the mantle, while they slide around on _______________ layer of the mantle.

The tectonic plates are the LITHOSPHERE layer of the mantle, while they slide around on Asthenosphere layer of the mantle.

About how much do the tectonic plates move every year??? A m per year B mm per year C inches per year D cm per year

D.!!!! 1-10 CENTIMETERS PER YEAR

What are the three types of boundaries??

TRANSFORM, DIVERGENT, and CONVERGENT

What is a transform boundary?

When two plates slide past each other in opposite directions….EARTHQUAKE BOUNDARY!

What is a convergent boundary???

When two plates run into each other and form MOUNTAINS!! Or one plate goes on top of the other plate and forms a subduction zone and volcanoes!

What is a divergent boundary???

A boundary in which tectonic plates pull away from each other and form land subsidence and mid ocean ridge

What are the three types of deformation of rocks???

SHEARING, TENSION, and COMPRESSEION

With what boundary does shearing happen?

TRANSFORM

With what boundary does COMPRESSION happen?

CONVERGENT

With what boundary does TENSION happen?

DIVERGENT

What are the three types of faults?

Strike-slip, Reverse, and Normal

What boundary is associated with a strike-slip fault??

TRANSFORM BOUNDARY…. What type of deformation is that???

What boundary goes with a normal fault?

DIVERGENT BOUNDARY What kind of deformation is that?

What type of boundary is associated with a reverse fault?

Convergent Boundary! What type of deformations is that?

What is the name of the longest mountain chain in the world and where is it located?

Mid Ocean Ridge….ALL OCEANS

What scientist came up with the theory of continental drift?

Alfred Wegener

Which scientist was the first one to think that Africa and the Americas were at one time connected?

Ortelius

Which scientist came up with the Uniformitarian Principle and the Law of Superposition?

Hutton

What is the Law of Superposition??

Older rocks are deeper in the Earth than younger rocks.

What is the Uniformitarian Principle?

“The present is the key to the past..”

If you were studying the mid-ocean ridge, and you wanted to find the newest, “youngest” rocks, where would you look?

At the very center of the mountain

What is sea-floor spreading?

The process that continually adds new material to the ocean floor; the sea floor spreads as new crust is added

What is the process called where material travels down ocean trenches back into the mantle?

SUBDUCTION

What two forces act on the material being pushed down the trench (subduction zone)?

Gravity and convection currents

Which Ocean is shrinking?

PACIFIC

Which ocean is expanding?

Atlantic

Where will most volacanos and earthquakes occur?

Along fault lines/Plate boundaries

What is land subsidence?

When the land surface sinks

Who came up with the theory of Pangaea?

Alfred Wegener

What is a contour interval

Distance between each contour line

What do topographic maps measure?

elevation

FINAL JEOPARDY QUESTION…. Make your wager………

Write out the whole plate tectonics chart….include boundaries, faults, arrows, rock deformation, and what happened here!!!
