As the hot mantle rolls like boiling water, the plates slide to new positions. Category 2 questions follow Question Weak areas or cracks in the crust Answer Faults Question The type of boundary when the plates are moving toward each other. Answer convergent boundary Question The types of boundary when the plates slide past each other Answer transform boundary Question The types of boundaries when the plates are moving apart from each other. Answer divergent Question How do convergent boundaries create mountains? Answer The boundaries compress together and push up the land to create mountains Volcano questions follow Question Hot melted rock deep within the Earth Answer magma Question Melted rock that flows out of the ground onto the Earth’s surface Answer lava Question The name(s) for volcanoes that are no longer active Answer Dormant or extinct Question Where do volcanoes usually form? Answer On convergent boundaries where one plate is being subducted (shoved below) by another OR Divergent boundaries where the plates are spreading apart and magma reaches the surface. Question How do volcanoes create new land? Answer The lava hardens to create new rocks and land. Category 4 questions follow Question The breaking down of materials in the Earth’s crust into smaller pieces Answer weathering Question The picking up and carrying away of pieces of rock Answer erosion Question The dropping off of bits of eroded rock Answer deposition Question A moving river of ice Answer glacier Question Describe an example of weathering, erosion, or deposition in this area. Answer Answers will vary Category 5 questions follow Question A scientist who studies the Earth Answer Geologist Question The tool scientists use to measure the strength of an earthquake Answer Seismograph Question Earthquakes under the ocean can be dangerous because they may cause these to form. Answer tsunami Question What causes earthquakes? Answer They are usually caused by movement at plate boundaries. Question In Selinsgrove, which of these forces are we likely to see: plate tectonics, weathering, erosion, volcanic eruption, or deposition? Answer Weathering Erosion deposition
