PLATE TECTONICS TRASHBALL REVIEW Question 1 What was the name of the large landmass when all of the continents were joined? PANGAEA Question 2 Who was the scientist that come up with the idea of continental drift? WEGNER Question 3 What layer of the Earth is made of solid iron and nickel? INNER CORE Question 4 List 2 traits of a quietly erupting volcano. Thin, runny lava Low in silica Question 5 What is the name of the spot inside the earth where an earthquake begins? Focus Question 6 Name the 3 types of plate boundaries. Convergent Divergent Transform Watch spelling on tomorrow’s test!!! Question 7 What is continental drift? Movement of continents to new regions Question 8 What is the name of the opening of a volcano where the magma comes out? vent Question 9 What is different between pahoehoe and aa? Pahoehoe- thin, fast flowing, hotter, hardens smooth Aa- thick, slow moving, cooler, forms chunks Question 10 What is a fault? Break or crack in Earth’s crust Question 11 Name 3 types of faults. Strike-slip, reverse, normal Question 12 What happens when oceanic crust and continental crust collide? Oceanic crust subducts because it is more dense Question 13 During what type of eruption is there a pyroclastic flow? Violent eruption Question 14 What is the general name for the waves that travel through the Earth during an earthquake? Seismic waves Question 15 The layer of the Earth responsible for plate tectonics is? Why? Asthenosphereplastic-like and can move Question 16 What is a hot spot? An area away from plate boundaries where island chain when the plate continues to move and magma is released. Question 17 The action of magma being released and adding to the oceanic crust is called? Sea-floor spreading Question 18 What are the three types of seismic waves? P-wave, S-wave, Surface wave Question 19 Which seismic wave is the most destructive? Surface wave Question 20 What is the Ring of Fire? Circle around the Pacific Ocean that has many of the worlds volcanoes Question 21 Name the 6 layers of the Earth from the inside-out? Inner core, outer core, mantle, asthenosphere, lithosphere, crust Question 22 Granite and Basalt are the rocks that make up these two things. Continental and oceanic crusts Question 23 What is magma called when it hits Earth’s surface? Lava Question 24 A huge sea wave made because of an earthquake on the ocean floor? Tsunami Question 25 The instrument that records seismic activity is ? Seismograph Question 26 The process of heat circulating through a material that is responsible for plate tectonics is called ? convection Question 27 What 2 main pieces of evidence led Wegner to believe in continental drift ? Fossils and shapes of continents Question 28 What main ideas were demonstrated in the Milky Way activity ? Earth’s layers and types of plate boundaries Question 29 What was demonstrated in the Mentos and Baking Soda/Vinegar Lab ? Explosive eruptions Question 30 What is the name of the scale that determines the strength of an earthquake based on the size of its waves? Richter Scale Question 31 How are volcanoes constructive? Add new rock to existing land and form new islands Question 32 How can seafloor become magma again? Seafloor subducts at a boundary and melts into magma once again
