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

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