Geology 1 Review
1. What are the layers of the Earth?
• Crust, mantle (upper & lower), core (inner
& outer
2. Identify the thinnest layer of the Earth.
• Crust
3. Explain the differences between continental
crust and oceanic crust.
• Continental crust is thicker than oceanic
crust.
• Oceanic crust is more dense than
continental crust.
4. Describe the structure of the mantle.
• Upper mantle is solid (makes up part of
the lithosphere)
• Lower mantle is liquid-like. Convection
current found here move crustal plates.
5. How does density change as you move
towards the center of the Earth?
• As you move from the crust towards the
center of the Earth, density increases.

18. Explain where warm and cold currents
form.
• Warm currents form near the equators,
while cold currents form near the poles.
19. How does salinity affect ocean currents?
• Water with greater salinity (more salt)
sinks while water with less salt rises.
20. What causes surface currents to form?
• Winds
21. Which way do surface currents move in the
Northern Hemisphere?
• clockwise
22. Identify the Features
A = Continental slope
B = Seamount
C = Plains
D = Mid ocean ride (rift
valley)
E = Volcano
F = Continental shelf
23. What are the deepest parts of the ocean called?
a. Deep-sea trenches
b. Abyssal plains
c. Continents
d. Seamounts
a
24. What is a seamount?
a. A scientist who studies the ocean floor
b. Deep-sea trench
c. A fancy seagull
d. A volcano that formed on the ocean floor.

26. Explain how to continents have changed
over millions of years.
• They have separated over time.
27. Explain how sea floor spreading occurs.
• Magma rises and cools at the rift valley of
a mid-ocean ridge forming new crust,
while the older crust is pushed away
28. What happens to the older crust that is
pushed away from ocean ridges?
• It is pushed down into a subduction zone
and melted.

a. What type of boundary is shown below?
b. What forms or can occur as a result?
43. What are the three types of boundaries?
• Convergent, divergent, transform
44. What direction do plates go for each?
• Convergent = collide
• Divergent = separate
• Transform = slide past each other
45. Which boundary has a subduction zone?
• Convergent (when continental crust
collides with oceanic OR 2 oceanic crusts
collide  more dense crust sinks and
melts

zone, mountain building
Oceanic crust is thinner than continental crust.

b.
Living things and habitats are destroyed, volcanic dust and
ash enters the atmosphere changing climate.
