3 Tectonic is from the Latin word meaning __________________

4 Build

5 This word means “whole Earth”

6 Pangaea

7 This is the term used for the “recycling” of the Earth’s crust

8 Subduction

9 Alfred Wegner developed the idea of _________ _____________

10 Continental Drift (Pangaea)

11 The scientist who developed the idea of sea floor spreading

12 Harry Hess

13 The three types of boundaries are

14 Convergent, divergent, transform

15 Rifts and ridges are a result of this type of boundary

16 Divergent

17 Convergent boundaries can result in these three formations

18 Volcanoes, mountains, trenches

19 A transform boundary results in this.

20 Earthquake or Fault

21 Name these boundaries

22 Transform, Divergent, Convergent

23 Volcanoes are ____________ ________ that release energy from deep within Earth

24 Pressure Valves

25 The world’s most active volcanic zone

26 Ring of Fire

27 Where active volcanoes are found

28 Convergent Plate Boundaries

29 Label the following diagram
1. 2. 3. 4.

30 1. Crater 2. Central Vent 3. Fissure 4. Magma Chamber

31 How does a volcano form?

32 Volcanoes form at a Convergent Boundary where magma forces its way up through weak spots in the Earth’s crust

33 Where do earthquakes usually occur?

34 Faults

35 What is the epicenter of an earthquake?

36 The place on the Earth’s crust where movement first occurs

37 What is used to measure earthquakes?

38 Seismograph

39 What type of ground and magnitude would create the most dangerous earthquake?

40 Fault Line High Magnitude

41 How does an earthquake occur?

42 Plates within the Earth suddenly break or shift under stress, sending shock waves rippling through the mantle

43 What role do convection currents play in plate tectonics?

44 Cause the plates to move

45 What is subduction?

46 Recycling of tectonic plates

47 Where was the most deadly earthquake?

48 China

49 How did the Milky Way represent the earth?

50 Chocolate – crust Caramel – asthenosphere Nougat – inner core

51 What might our future planet look like because of plate tectonics?

52 Another Pangaea
