Dynamic Earth Test Review MAY 17 Tuesday (A DAY) MAY 18 Wednesday (B DAY) The following information from the Dynamic Earth Project you have been participating in for the past four weeks will be on the test. You may use one 3 X 5 notecard (front and back) to help you on your test. Use your notes, your brain, your group members, and tutoring to help you find the following: Seismic waves (speed, names, how they move, etc.) Difference between epicenter and focus Seismogram, seismograph How to locate the epicenter of an earthquake 3 types of faults Richter and Mercalli scales – what they are based on, used for, etc. How a fault is different from a plate boundary Difference between magma and lava Types of volcanoes (shapes, types of eruptions) Why are some volcanoes more explosive than others? What is a caldera and how does it form? Theory of continental drift, who proposed it, supporting evidence Theory of plate tectonics Know all of the plates and the types of major formations that result from their interactions (Trenches, mountains, rifts, etc.) What is sea floor spreading? 3 types of plate boundaries subduction Know which direction plates are moving: specifically N. America, Juan de Fuca, Nazca, Pacific, Eurasian, Indian, S. Amer, African Historical positions of plates (Pangaea to present) What is a plate composed of? How does it move? What are magnetic reversals? Layers of the earth (crust, mantle, core) if it is solid or liquid or both Lithosphere and asthenosphere and where they are located What is a shadow zone?
