Q4 TEST STUDY GUIDE (over chapters 6, 7, 8, & 10. There will be 5 questions that you have already had about water)
1. List the Earth’s Layers in order starting from the center outward.
2. How are the inner core and outer core the same? How are Earth’s crust and mantle different?
3. What do the plate tectonics make up? What causes them to move?
4. What was the supercontinent that existed 200 million years ago called? What did Wegener use to support his theory of
continental drift?
5. Define: transform boundary, convergent boundary, divergent boundary, magnetic reversal, mid-ocean ridge, rift valley,
and hot spot (A mid-ocean ridge has the __________ pattern of magnetic minerals on either side of the ridge).
6. When does subduction occur?
7. What happens at a continental-continental collision? The Alps are an example of what type of boundary?
8. When do earthquakes occur in the lithosphere?
9. What is a fault? What are the 3 major categories of faults (define each of them).
10. Where do earthquakes occur and why? At a ______________ boundary, crust is neither formed nor destroyed.
11. Define: Epicenter, focus, P waves, S waves, surface waves, aftershocks, tsunami
12. What is the moment magnitude scale is based on?
13. What happens to a deep-focus earthquake when compared to a shallow-focus earthquake of the same magnitude and
epicenter?
14. How many different seismograms from different seismic stations are needed to locate an epicenter?
15. What can scientists predict about earthquakes?
16. Define: volcano (and where do they form), magma, lava, deep sea vents,
17. What are some of the effects volcanic activity has on our atmosphere?
18. What can underground water heated by magma be use for?
19. What are 3 examples of renewable and non renewable resources?
20. What is used to power most power plants and why?
21. What reduces the trash that must be removed and buried and reduces the drain on natural resources?
