Dynamic Planet Final Review
Place on the Earth where seismic waves are
first felt.
Location in the Earth where an earthquake starts.
large ocean wave: a large destructive ocean
wave caused by an underwater earthquake or
another movement of the Earth's surface
something that represents or simulates something
else
The movement, formation, or re-formation of
continents described by the theory of plate
tectonics
A body wave that can pass through all layers of the
earth. It is fastest of all seismic waves.
A supercontinent made up of all the world's
present landmasses
A model made in your mind.
Process, in which 2 oceanic plates are
spreading apart.
Is the process that takes place at convergent
boundaries by which one tectonic plate moves
under another tectonic plate and sinks into the
mantle as the plates converge.
circulatory movement in a liquid or gas, resulting
from regions of different temperatures and different
densities rising and falling in response to gravity
A body wave that can only travel through
solids; slowest body wave.
Two plates that are sliding past one another.
Two plates that are moving apart from one another.
The layer of the Earth that is a liquid. It is
composed of iron and nickel.
molten rock material within the earth
How fast the plates move
Thinner, younger crust, more dense crust.
Thicker, older, less dense crust
The deflection of a ray of light or wave due to
changes in its velocity as it passes from one
medium to another.
Proposed the theory of continental drift in
1912.
A fracture or fracture zone along which there has
been displacement of one mass of rock relative to
another, parallel to the fracture.
Plates that are moving away from one another.
Plates that are moving toward one another.
