Bingo Vocabulary
Asthenosphere: A hot, semisolid part of the mantle that makes
up the lower portion of the Earth’s upper mantle
Lithosphere: The solid part of the earth consisting of the crust
and outer mantle
Core: Innermost part of the Earth
Magma: A pasty mixture of crude mineral or organic matter;
liquid or molten rock deep in the earth, which on cooling
solidifies to produce igneous rock
Convergence: The act of moving toward each other and
colliding
Convergent plates: A tectonic boundary where two plates
are moving toward each other. This causes mounts to develop.
Mantle: The mantle goes around the core and is solid. It
comprises most of the earth’s mass. The temperature is about
1000° C.
Continental drift: A theory that the continents moved across
the earth’s surface
Oceanic crust: The crust underlying the ocean basin. This layer
is much thinner than the earth’s continental crust and is young.
Crust: The outermost shell of the earth
Ocean trenches: Long but narrow topographic depressions of
the sea floor. They are also the deepest parts of the ocean.
Divergent plates: A tectonic boundary where two plates
are moving away from each other and new crust is forming from
magma that rises to the Earth’s surface between the two
Earthquake: A sudden movement of the earth’s crust caused
by the release of stress accumulated along geologic faults or by
volcanic activity
Erosion: The mechanical process of wearing or grinding
something down (as by particles washing over it)
Eruption: When ash and lava flows and gases are ejected from
deep within the earth
Fault: An area of stress in the earth where broken rocks slide
past each other, causing a crack in the Earth’s surface
Igneous rock: Rock that is formed when magma cools and
hardens
Pangea: A supercontinent that existed 250 million years ago
which included most of the earth’s continental landmasses
Plates: The earth’s surface is broken into seven large and many
small moving plates, each about 50 miles thick. They move
relative to one another an average of a few inches a year or
about as fast as fingernails grow.
Plate Tectonics: The term for the field of study of large scale
motions of the earth’s lithosphere.
Subduction: When one plate is forced beneath another into
the mantle and eventually undergoes partial melting
Transform plates: A boundary at which one lithosphere plate
slips laterally past another (This causes earthquakes)
Volcano: A vent in the crust of the Earth or another planet from
which usually molten rock, ash and steam are ejected
Lava: What magma is called when it reaches the surface of the
earth
