Front

The amount of energy an area receives depends on:

Back

The Sun's Angle.

Front

What type of weathering is Ice Wedging or Frost Action?

Back

Physical Weathering.

Front

Which type of boundary results in the creation of mountains, island arcs, earthquakes, and volcanoes?

Back

Convergent.

Front

Which type of boundary results in the creation of rift valleys, volcanoes, seafloor spreading, and earthquakes?

Back

Divergent.

Front

What is the process called when cold water is pulled to the surface, bringing nutrient-rich sediments from the seafloor?

Back

Upwelling.

Front

Define 'Convergent Boundary'.

Back

A tectonic boundary where two plates collide, leading to mountain formation, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.

Front

Define 'Divergent Boundary'.

Back

A tectonic boundary where two plates move apart, leading to rift valleys, seafloor spreading, and volcanic activity.

Front

What is 'Physical Weathering'?

Back

The process of breaking down rocks without changing their chemical composition, often due to temperature changes or freeze-thaw cycles.

Front

What is 'Chemical Weathering'?

Back

The process of breaking down rocks through chemical reactions, altering the minerals within the rocks.

Front

What is 'Upwelling'?

Back

The movement of cold, nutrient-rich water from the deep ocean to the surface, often supporting marine life.
