Download Review for Week 26 TEST

Review for Week 26 TEST:
1. What does it mean for a model to have limitations?
Limitations mean that the “model” doesn’t quite show how something would
actually work or look or act. It is just a representation of it.
2. What kind of limitations does a globe have?
A globe cannot show you temperature, weather patterns, climate, elliptical
patterns, etc.
3. Which part of Earth’s layers is where plate movement is occurring?
Mantle
4. Which type of boundary would cause an earthquake?
Transform boundary because the plates are sliding past each other.
5. What are the major plates of the world?
Northern American, South American, African, Indo-Australian, Eurasian,
Antarctic, Pacific
6. Label the diagram that shows the layers of the Earth: inner core, outer core,
mantle, crust, asthenosphere, and lithosphere.
INNER CORE- SOLID IRON AND NICKEL
OUTER CORE- LIQUID IRON AND NICKEL
LOWER MANTLE-SEMI RIGID
ASTHENOSPHERE (UPPER MANTLE)-FLOWING
LITHOSPHERE (UPPER MANTLE)-RIGID
CRUST-WHERE WE LIVE
INNER CORE
OUTER CORE
MANTLE
ASTHENOSPHE
RE
LITHOSPHERE
7. Name ALL of the major tectonic plates you see below:
Pacific, North America, South America, African
8. Draw a divergent boundary with arrows and tell what it would form.
They move away from each other.
Ocean  Ocean
Forms: Seafloor spreading (new ocean floor plates)
Continental Continental Forms: Rift valley
9. Draw a convergent boundary with arrows and tell what it would form.
They move towards each other.
Continental Continental landform: Mountains
OceanContinental
landform: Trenches, Volcanoes
Ocean Ocean
landform: Volcanoes
10. Draw a transform boundary with arrows and tell what would happen.
Two plates move side to side.
11. What is the Earth’s core made of?
IRON AND NICKEL
12. Where is Earth’s thinnest layer?
CRUST
13. What is the uppermost part of the mantle called?
LITHOSPHERE
14. What are the large pieces that are broken apart on Earth’s lithosphere called?
PLATES
15. What type of stress force produces reverse faults?
COMPRESSION
16. By using seismic waves, what can we infer about the Earth?
IT’S COMPOSITION AND STRUCTURE
17. Which layer do scientists think is the layer where they think plate motion is
happening?
MANTLE
18. What would form if two continental plates collided into each other?
MOUNTAINS
19. What is lava called before it reaches Earth’s surface called?
MAGMA
20. What kind of fault occurs when the rocks on either side of the fault slip past
each other sideways?
STRIKE SLIP FAULT
21. What is the stress that pushes a mass of rock in two opposite directions causing
sections of rock to slip past each other called?
SHEARING
22. What does the theory of plate tectonics state?
THAT EARTH’S PLATES ARE IN CONSTANT SLOW MOTION
23. What are seismic waves?
VIBRATIONS THAT TRAVEL THROUGH EARTH AS THE RESULT OF
EARTHQUAKES
24. Where do faults usually occur along?
ALONG PLATE BOUNDARIES
25. What does the lithosphere contain?
EARTH’S CRUST AND THE UPPER PART OF THE MANTLE
