Use the arrows below
1. Two plates moving toward each other are called Convergent plate boundaries.
2. Continental Crust converging with another continental crust creates Mountains
3. Oceanic crust and continental crust converging creates subduction zones and
volcanoes.
Use the arrows below
4. Plates moving away from each other are called divergent plate boundaries.
5. Plates moving in this direction can cause ocean ridges in the ocean or rift valleys on
land.
Use the arrows below
6. Plates sliding past each other are called transform plate boundaries.
7. This plate boundary movement can cause earth quakes.
Fill in the blanks
8. Continental drift explains how fossils of plants are found in Antarctica.
9. A volcano is found where an oceanic crust meets an oceanic or continental crust.
Use the picture below
Name:_______________________________________________Period__________
10. This is a picture of a Convergent boundary.
11. Volcanoes occur here because a more dense plate is meeting up with a less dense
plate.
12. The oceanic crust is denser than the continental crust.
That is why the oceanic crust sub ducts under the continental crust.
Fill in the blanks
13. Two continental crust colliding can create mountains
14. Divergent boundaries can be caused by convection currents in the mantle.
15. folding in the crust may occur if two continental boundaries hit each other and do
not sub duct.
16. The upper mantle and the crust also called the lithosphere, is the layer of the Earth
where tectonic plates are found.

Dull
Malleable

31. What is the formula for density? Density = Mass/Volume
32. If the mass of an object is 100g and the volume is 25 mL, what is the density of the
substance? D=M/V D= 100g/25ml D=4g/ml
33. When measuring the density of an object, the tools that you would use would be
Triple beam balance and a graduated cylinder
34. Water has a density of __1__ g/ml. In a graduated cylinder, the densest material will
sink/float to the bottom. The less dense material will sink/float to the top.
35. Lighting a match is an example of chemical energy converted to thermal energy.
36. A battery has stored chemical energy. Its potential energy is increasing/decreasing
when it is in a battery-powered device that is left on.
37. in a closed circuit (light bulb, battery and wires), chemical energy is transformed
into electrical energy and then to light energy.
38. Name several ways we can conserve energy in your home or at school:
*turn off lights when leaving the room
*turn off water while brushing teeth

42. List the 3 ways thermal energy is transferred. Describe how the heat is transferred
in each type.
Conduction – heat is transferred from one object to another by direct contact.
Convection – heat is transferred by the movement of currents within a fluid (liquid or
gas)
Radiation – the transfer of energy by waves
43. A Force is a push or pull on an object’s position, direction or location.
44. Acceleration is a change in an object’s position, direction or location.
45. An object in rest, stays at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion until a/an
unbalanced force acts upon it.
46. Draw 4 distance time graphs and to show each of the following: constant speed,
traveling toward home slowly, traveling away from start quickly, and at rest. Label the
X-axis and the Y-axis.
