Vocabulary review Inner Core Lithosphere Crustal Plate Plate tectonics Name: Crust Mantle Ocean Basin Tectonic Plate Period: Outer Core Continental Drift Pangaea Asthenosphere ________________1. A great depression occupied by the ocean on the surface of the lithosphere. ________________ 2. a rigid layer of the Earth's crust that is believed to drift slowly. ________________ 3. The movement, formation, or re-formation of continents described by the theory of plate tectonics. ________________ 4. a theory explaining the structure of the earth's crust and how the interaction of the rigid lithosphere and underlying asthenosphere causes movement. _______________ 5. A supercontinent that included all of the land masses of Earth. ________________ 6. Earth’s molten liquid layer found between the inner core and the mantle. ________________ 7. The thin outer layer of Earth that can be compared to an egg shell or an apple skin; this is also where life is found on Earth. ________________8. Largest layer of the Earth’s interior structures. Composed of hot dense rock where heat transfer occurs through convection. ________________ 9. A large segmented area of the lithosphere that reacts to tectonic forces as one unit. ________________ 10. The solid center of the Earth made up of metals (mostly nickel and Iron).It remains a solid because it is under great pressure and heat. ________________11. The layer of earth made of the crust and the rigid rock of the upper mantle which is broken into tectonic plates. ________________ 12. The upper layer of the earth's mantle, below the lithosphere, allows plate movement and heat transfer through convection. BONUS: On the back define plate boundary. And explain 3 types.
