Back

Non-metals are brittle and break easily.

Front

What category does the element Yellow belong to?

Yellow is classified as a non-metal.

Front

What geologic feature is most likely found at a transform boundary?

Back

Earthquakes are most likely to occur at a transform boundary.

Front

What type of plate boundary is a convergent boundary?

Back

A convergent boundary is where two tectonic plates move towards each other.

Front

What is a characteristic of metals?

Back

Metals conduct electricity and can be hammered into thin sheets.

Front

Back

At divergent plate boundaries, tectonic plates move apart, often creating new crust.

Front

What is the definition of a transform boundary?

Back

A transform boundary is where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally.

Front

What is the result of tectonic plate movement?

Back

Tectonic plate movement can result in earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains.

Front

What is the difference between metals and non-metals?

Back

Metals are typically shiny, conductive, and malleable, while non-metals are dull, insulative, and brittle.
