1 Chapter 2 The Changing Earth Tectonic Plates and Mountains

2 A mountain formed when two tectonic plates collide is called A folded mountain

3 A place where the plates that make up Earth’s crust & upper mantle move together is a A convergent boundary

4 A layer below the lithosphere is the asthenosphere

5 A process by which heat energy is transferred through liquids or gases by the movement of particles is called convection

6 An opening in Earth’s crust through which hot gases, rock fragments, and molten rock erupt is called a volcano

7 A mountain formed when magma lifts Earth’s surface, creating a dome or bulge is called a Dome mountain

8 The path along which energy is transferred through liquids or gases by the movement of particles is called a Convection current

9 A mountain formed by masses of rock move up or down along a fault is a Fault-block mountain

10 The Grand Tetons are which kind of mountain? Fault-block mountain

11 The Himalayas are which kind of mountain? Folded mountain

12 Mount Vesuvius is which kind of mountain? volcano

13 Pike’s Peak is which kind of mountain? Dome mountain

14 Mount Fuji is which kind of mountain? volcano

15 At which kind of boundary might you find rifts, valleys, canyons, and volcanoes? Divergent boundary

16 How are mountains formed? Mountains are formed when plates collide or push into one another.

17 What causes plates to move? Movement in Earth's mantle through convection currents causes plates to move.

18 Where does sea floor spreading occur? At divergent boundaries

19 Where do faults occur? At transform-fault boundaries

20 What is the solid, rocky layer of Earth called? The lithosphere

21 What is the highest mountain peak in the world? Mount Everest

22 What will you get if you get the test slip signed? 3 points
