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
