Identify the three types of Plate Boundaries.
Transform, Divergent, Convergent
|
Identify the three types of rocks from the Rock Cycle.
Sedimentary, Igneous, Metamorphic
|
Identify the two processes that caused the rock in the image to look the way it does.
Weathering and Erosion
|
Identify the three layers of Earth.
Core, Mantle, Crust
|
Explain the difference between compaction and cementation.
Compaction - When particles of sediment come closer together.
Cementation - when particles of sediment are bonded together. |
|
Draw arrows to represent the three types of Plate Boundaries.

Explain how a Metamorphic Rock is created.
Heat and Pressure
|
Identify the layer (1, 2, 3 or 4) where convection currents would be.
Layer #2 (Mantle)
|
List the layers of Earth from HOTTEST to COOLEST.
Inner Core, Outer Core, Mantle, Crust.
|
What is the name of the specific place where majority of Earth's volcanoes are found?
The Pacific Ring of Fire
|
|
Identify the type of plate that "subduction" occurs at.
Convergent Plate Boundary
|
Explain how an Igneous Rock is created.
Melting and Solidification
|
Would there be large crystals or small crystals in the Igneous Rocks found at spot B?
Large Crystals because they are formed inside of Earth where it is hot and the crystals have more time to grow.
|
Explain why Earth's Inner Core is solid.
Because of all the pressure applied on the Inner Core by all of Earth's other layers.
|
When Ocean Crust and Continental Crust collide, which plate subducts. Explain your answer.
The Oceanic Crust subducts because it is "more dense" or heavier.
|
|
1- Identify which types of rocks you would find at
Convergent Plate Boundaries. 2- Explain why these types of rocks are found there.
Metamorphic Rocks because at Convergent Boundaries there is an extreme amount of pressure from the two plates pushing against each other.
|
Explain how a Sedimentary Rock is created.
Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Compaction, Cementation
|
What type of rock would be found at spot C where the heart is?
Metamorphic Rock
|
Explain the cause of convection currents in Earth's mantle.
The extreme heat in Earth's Inner Core.
|
Identify the four pieces of evidence that Alfred Wegener used to support his Theory of Continental Drift.
1- Fossil Evidence
2- Shape of Continents 3- Past Climate Data 4- Rock and Mountain Correlation |
|
List one landform or natural disaster that is created from each type of Plate Boundary.
Transform = Earthquakes
Convergent = Mountains Divergent = New Seafloor |
What processes take place at the blue arrows?
Weathering and Erosion
|
List the rock layers in order from youngest to oldest.
R, F, B, I
|
Explain the primary cause of earthquakes, mountain formation and the moving of tectonic plates.
Convection Currents in Earth's mantle
|
Explain how the discovery of Seafloor Spreading helped proved Alfred Wegener's Theory of Continental Drift.
Seafloor Spreading helped proved the theory because it proved that there were Divergent Boundaries that were at the bottom of sea floors that were pushing the continents away from one another.
