Unit 2 - Earths Structures
Review
start
Topic 1
Layers of the Earth and Atmosphere
Name the process in the mantle that causes the plates to move and explain how the process occurs/happens/works.
In what layer of Earth would you expect to find the densely compacted solid iron layer?
Look at the image. Which layer of Earth is represented by letter A?
A
mantle B
inner core C
crust D
outer core
Which is thinner and more dense?
A
continental crust B Lithosphere C athenosphere D
oceanic crust
Topic 2 and 3
Plate Tectonics
Most questions will be on this stuff
Matchy Matchy
plate tectonics theory
a.
the movement of Earth's continents relative to each other b.
the process by which gases in the atmosphere warm the planet which makes it possible to live on Earth. c.
the theory that Earth's crust is made up of individual plates that gradually move in relation to each other
greenhouse effect
continental drift
what type of plate boundary exists between the South American Plate and African Plate?
Look at the red X
A
a subduction zone B
a divergent boundary C
a transform boundary D
a convergent boundary
What evidence supports the theory of plate tectonics?
A the size and shape of EarthB the composition of Earth's layers C tectonic plates observed from satellite images D similar mountain ranges found on different continents
Matching - drag the words to the pictures
earthquakes
mid-ocean ridge
mountains; subduction zone
Select two possible outcomes from a convergent boundary .
Oceanic Ridge
Mountain Range
Oceanic Trench
Press the location to show where a deep ocean trench forms at a convergent plate boundary. Where do the plates meet?
Which geologic feature forms when tectonic plates collide?
A. buttes B. valleys C. sinkholes D. mountains
Topic 4
Earthquakes
identify the epicenter of the earthquake.
Where do most earthquakes occur?
A. during a volcanic eruption B. in areas where earthquakes have occurred in the past C. along plate boundaries D. in the middle of tectonic plates
Drag the word to the correct definition
Topic 5
Volcanoes
Volcanoes only form over land on continents.
Drag the words to the correct picture/Definition
A volcano that is not actively erupting but could erupt again; its taking a nap
A volcano no longer producing volcanic activity.
A volcano that is releasing volcanic material from the Earth and may even be erupting frequently.
Extinct
Active
Dormant
Good luck!
Our test is in two weeks. If you struggled with these questions, spend some time in your Progress Learning study plan.
Along plate boundaries!
What way are the arrows moving?
They are moving AWAY from each other
This means this is a DIVERGENT Boundary
D
similar mountain ranges found on different continents
Convection Currents
This process moves the tectonic plates by hot magma rising/and then once the magma cools it falls
Where is the ozone layer? The stratosphere!
