Molten material, before it reaches the surface, is known as magma.

The mid-ocean ridge occurs along transform plate boundaries.

The squeezing together of rock by stress is called shearing.

When an earthquake occurs, S waves are the first seismic waves to arrive at a given location

Ash, cinders, and bombs build up in a steep pile to form cinder cone volcanoes

Olivia became interested in the fossil evidence that Wegener used to form his hypothesis of continental drift. How did fossils show that the continents were once joined?

Julia watched a pot of water boil. The boiling water reminded her of the convention currents she had learned about while she studied plate tectonics. How do these currents drive the motion of Earth's plates?

The movement of Earth's tectonic plates generates tremendous force. Which force pulls on Earth's crust stretching the rock to make it thinner?

Braydon reads about the earthquake that occurred in Japan in 2011, and he learns that it had a magnitude of 9.0. What does the magnitude of an earthquake measure?

According to Wegener's Hypothesis of continental drift,________

What is Pangaea?

In the process of Sea floor spreading, where does the molten material rise from the mantle and erupt?

The geological theory that states that pieces of Earth's lithosphere are in constant, slow motion is known as the theory of what?

A collision between two pieces of continental crust at a converging boundary produces a _________________

A rift valley forms where two plates ___________

The formation of the Hawaiian Islands is one example of________________

If the Coast Guard warns of giant wave of water approaching the shore as a result of major earthquake, they are warning the public about ____________

A volcano that may erupt again at some time in the distant future is known as being ______________

The huge hole left by the collapse of a volcanic mountain is called a __________________

The sinking of ocean crust back into the mantle when it meets continental crust is the process called ___________________.

Subduction occurs at

High silica magma is more

High silica magma is more likely to produce

In diagram B, what type of stress caused the rock layers to take on the shape? What type of land form can form at this type of stress?

What type of stress caused the rock layers to take on the shape shown in diagram C? At what plate boundary does this type of stress occur?

What type of fault is being shown in diagram D? What may occur at diagram D if stress builds?

How do volcanoes form at A? Be sure to included boundary type, name the land form, and describe the process that would be involved in the formation.

How do volcanoes form at B? Be sure to include boundary type, the land form, and any process that would be involved in the formation.
