1. How do convection currents form? a. heated mantle material is less dense and rises to the top of the asthenosphere b. mantle material cools under the lithosphere, becomes more dense, and sinks c. seismic waves act like a big spoon and stir up mantle material d. both a and b are correct

2. What did one mountain say to the other after the earthquake? “It isn’t my fault”

4. 10 pts Each

5. Individual and Group

7. When I say transform you say Slide

8. Transform

10. When I say Divergent you say Apart

11. Divergent

13. When I say convergent you say Collide

14. Convergent

17.  A convergent boundary is where two plates come together, or converge. The result of the plates hitting together is called a collision.

18. a. Continental crust to continental b. Continental crust to oceanic c. Oceanic crust to oceanic

19. from: http://www.geo.lsa.umich.edu/~crlb/COURSES/270 a. Continental crust to continental crust Example: India-Asia (Himalayas ) Before collision After collision

21. Indian plate (continental crust) running into Eurasian plate (continental crust) Indian plate Eurasian plate

24. Folded mountains – notice the rock layers

25. SUBDUCTION

26. The process by which the ocean floor sinks beneath a deep- ocean trench and back into the mantle is called

27. Oceanic crust is MORE DENSE than Continental!

28. Because one plate gets pushed under another, it is called subduction. This is where volcanoes and trenches form! all from: http://www.geo.lsa.umich.edu/~crlb/COURSES/270

29. Volcanoes form where a convergent boundary occurs between oceanic crust and continental crust.

30. South American plate (continental crust) running into Nazca plate (oceanic crust)

33. SUBDUCTION

35. Volcanoes also form where a convergent boundary occurs between oceanic crust and oceanic crust.

36. Aleutian islands of Alaska are volcanoes formed by oceanic crust converging with oceanic crust

37. Following volcanic islands in the Pacific Ocean can show us where oceanic crust is being subducted by oceanic crust.

39.  The place where two plates move apart or diverge is called a divergent boundary.

40. Can you explain this diagram!?

42. This is a model of sea floor spreading at a divergent boundary is called a mid ocean ridge.

43. Oceanic crust diverging from oceanic crust

44. Did you know that the Earth’s longest mountain range is underwater and is called the mid-ocean ridge? : www.ocean.udel.eduwww.ocean.udel.edu The Mid-Ocean Ridge system, shown above snaking its way between the continents, is more than 56,000 kilometers (35,000 mi) long. It circles the earth like the stitching on a baseball!

45. Continental crust diverging from continental

47. African rift valley

48. Iceland’s rift valley

50. A transform boundary is a place where two plates slip past each other, moving in opposite directions.

51. San Andreas Fault in California
