TEST HAS BEEN CHANGED TO WEDNESDAY End of unit exam study guide Write the questions then find the answers either in your notebook or the textbook. You may work together as long as you don’t make toooooo much noise. • What do you need to find the density of a rock? Graduated cylinder and triple beam balance • Tectonic plates consist of continental & oceanic crust • What do we use to find out and map what the interior of the earth is made of and would look like? Seismic waves • Sea-floor spreading occurs at divergent boundaries • Wegener’s large continent was called Pangaea • What was the ocean called? Panthallassa • Evidence for sea-floor spreading comes from magnetic reversal • The inner most layer of the earth is the inner core • What is it called where 2 plates meet? boundaries • How do mid-ocean ridges support both the idea of continental drift and the theory of plate tectonics? Fossil and plant evidence • How does fossil evidence support Wegener’s hypothesis of continental drift? Fossil and plant evidence far away from each other on different continents • Sea-floor spreading occurs at which type of boundary? divergent • What does not provide evidence for continental drift? Oceanic plate theory • What do scientist use the global positioning system for? To measure plate movement • When an ocean plate collides with a continental plate what happens? Oceanic plate subducts • When mining diamonds deep in the earth’s crust, what do you think will happen to the temperature? Goes up due to close proximity to the asthenosphere • What are the layers of the earth? In order Use 6th grade words. LAMOI • Plates move on the asthenosphere • Name the types of boundaries. Convergent, divergent, transform • Volcanoes will probably happen at plate boundaries • Most earthquakes happen at plate boundaries • What are the 2 types of crust? Oceanic and continental • Which type of crust is more dense? Oceanic • What is subduction? One crust goes under the other (oceanic under continental) • What part of the earth is molten? Outer core • What part of the earth is most dense? Inner core Sea floor spreading as represented in the diagram below occurs at which of the following tectonic plate boundaries? A. Transform boundaries. B. Convergent boundaries. C. Divergent boundaries. D. Strike-slip boundaries. At which location would earthquakes be least likely to occur? A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4 Scientists think that present-day continents were once all joined in a single super-continent that is represented by the diagram belowThe name given to this single super-continent is: Which boundary is which? A B C
