Name: Study Guide for Benchmark on 11/1/16 Topics I need to study for the Test on Tuesday: Minerals, Rocks, Layers of the Earth, Continental Drift, Plate Tectonics, Convection Currents, Volcanoes, Earthquakes, and Seismic Waves 3 Types of plate boundaries: What happens to the plates and what is formed at each boundary? Layers of the Earth: Layer Solid liquid plasticy or gas? Crust Lithosphere Asthenosphere Mantle Outer Core Inner Core Which is more dense, continental crust or oceanic crust? Which is more dense, outer core or inner core? Which has the highest temperature, mantle, outer core, or crust? Why is the inner core solid even though it is hotter than the outer core? Continental Drift: Who came up with the theory of continental drift? How were fossils evidence of continental drift? What was another piece of evidence Wegener used to support continental drift? Why didn’t other scientists support the theory of continental drift? What is the difference between plate tectonics and continental drift? Plate Tectonics What are the plates? (Which layer of the Earth?) How are the plates and the continents similar and different? How do the plates move? Convergent Plate Boundary Transform Plate Boundary Divergent Plate Boundary Oceanic vs. Oceanic Draw a picture: What type of movement happens at a transform boundary? What type of movement happens at a divergent boundary? What is it called when one plate dives under another? Draw a picture: Draw a picture: What geologic feature occurs at this boundary: What geologic feature occurs at this boundary? Where in America is there a transform boundary? How does this boundary create new lithosphere? Oceanic vs. Continental Draw a picture: Which plate subducts? Why does that plate subduct? Continental vs. Continental Draw a picture: What forms at this type of plate boundary? Convection Currents Where in Earth do convection currents occur? What do convection currents move? What do you need in order to have continuous convection currents? Draw a picture of convection currents Complete this diagram of the rock cycle. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Type of Rock Formation Identifying Characteristic Igneous Fossils and crumbliness Extreme heat and/or pressure Minerals: Describe a scratch test. Include the purpose of the test, how to conduct it, and what scale is used to measure it. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Earthquakes: Use the word bank to label the images below.
