Test your noodle Rules Work as a group. Each group responds to all questions. One person writes the answer for the team and shows it when asked. If you show too soon, no points! Your team will earn one point for each correct answer. Teacher can ask any group member to explain. If group member cannot do so, group will not earn the point. For true/false questions, all false responses only earn a point if the statement is successfully changed into a true statement. Group with the most points at the end will win. WARM-UP ROUND What kind of rock makes up most of the continents? Granite What force causes the plates to drift? Convection currents in the mantle. Where are earthquakes and volcanoes most likely to be found? Along plate boundaries What kind of rock makes up most of the sea floor? Along which kind of boundary is new sea floor being added? A divergent boundary The Hawaiian Islands chain was formed as the pacific plate moved over a..... Hot Spot What kind of geological feature is usually located where two oceanic plates converge? A trench What geographic feature is likely to be found in regions where two continental plates collide? A mountain range What kind of boundary exists between the Pacific and IndianA convergent Australian plates? boundary What kind of plate boundary exists along the California coast? A transform boundary preliminary round… Students may use the word bank below to answer the questions that follow.

A ___________ __________ is the place where plates meet. Plate Boundary Preliminary Round 2. Tectonic plates consist of the crust and upper mantle, and when combined make up the ___________. lithosphere Preliminary Round 3. There are __________ major lithospheric plates on the earth. seven Preliminary Round 4. A __________ __________ boundary forms where plates are separating. Divergent plate Preliminary Round 5. The __________ __________ is the largest plate. Pacific Plate Preliminary Round 6. __________ __________ theorized that present day continents once were joined together in a large continent. Alfred Wegener Preliminary Round 7. __________ __________ are movements of material caused by differences in temperature. Convection Currents Preliminary Round 8. ___________ is the process of one lithospheric plate descending under another. subduction Preliminary Round 9. Volcanic activity occurs along mid-ocean ridges in large cracks called ____________ ____________. Rift valleys Preliminary Round 10. A boundary where two plates slide by each other is called a _______ _______. Transform fault TRUE or FALSE? If the statement is false, change it to make it a true statement. (in order to earn your point) TRUE or FALSE? 11. When lithospheric plates meet, volcanoes are often formed. TRUE TRUE or FALSE? 12. Tectonic plates are in a constant state of swift motion. FALSE TRUE or FALSE? 13. Mid-ocean ridges are the result of plate convergence. FALSE TRUE or FALSE? 14. Newly formed rocks can be found on the ocean floor. TRUE TRUE or FALSE? 15. Rocks on the ocean floor containing iron emit a magnetic field. TRUE TRUE or FALSE? 16. A plant fossil called glossopteris was found on numerous continents. TRUE TRUE or FALSE? 17. Scientists have discovered that the ocean floor is totally flat. FALSE TRUE or FALSE? 18. The mid-ocean ridge is over 80,000 kilometers in length. TRUE TRUE or FALSE? 19. Continents ride on top of tectonic plates. TRUE TRUE or FALSE? 20. Sea-floor spreading is characterized by two adjacent plates moving toward each other. FALSE FINAL ROUND What crustal feature forms at a divergent boundary with oceanic-oceanic crusts? Mid-ocean ridges FINAL ROUND What crustal feature forms at a divergent boundary with continentalcontinental crusts? Rift Valleys FINAL ROUND What crustal features forms at a convergent boundary with oceanic-oceanic crusts? (there are 2) Island Arcs (volcanic) & trench FINAL ROUND What crustal features forms at a convergent boundary with oceanic-continental crusts? (there are 2) Volcanic mountains & trench FINAL ROUND What crustal feature forms at a convergent boundary with continentalcontinental crusts? A Mountain Range FINAL ROUND What crustal feature forms at a transform boundary? A Fault FINAL ROUND Give a real-world example of an island that has a rift valley. Iceland FINAL ROUND This crustal feature occurs at a _______ boundary. Divergent Final Round The Hawaiian Islands were formed over a _______ __________. FINAL ROUND What crustal features have formed at this boundary? Volcanic Arc and trench FINAL ROUND New crust is __________ at this type of crustal feature…. Created or made; mid-ocean ridge FINAL ROUND What type of motion occurs at the Japanese trench? Subduction END OF THE FINAL ROUND TALLY YOUR POINTS Just some pictures and stuff… Where earthquakes occur… EXAMPLE: NAZCA (OCEANIC CRUST) AND SOUTH AMERICAN (CONTINENTAL CRUST) PLATE BOUNDARY (CREATING THE ANDES) EXAMPLE: INDIAN AND EURASIAN PLATE FORMED THE HIMALAYAS EXAMPLE: NORTH AMERICAN PLATE & PACIFIC PLATE (SAN ANDREAS FAULT)
