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.
|
How compact an object is
Explain what density means
|
Transform = Earthquakes
Convergent = Mountains Divergent = New Seafloor
List one landform or natural disaster and the specific type of plate boundary that causes it.
|
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?
|
Because of all the pressure applied to the inner core by the other layers
Why is Earth's inner core solid?
|
Bowling ball because it is more compact. Ping pong balls are hollow.
What is more dense? A bowling ball or a ping pong ball? Explain your answer.
|
Divergent Boundary
Which type of plate boundary pushes Earth's continents away from each other?
|
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.
|
10,000 - 100,000 years
Roughly how long does it take mountain ranges to form?
|
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 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.
|
Continental crust = thicker; less dense
Oceanic crust = thinner; more dense
Explain the difference between continental crust and oceanic crust.
