2.2 Test Retake

Front

How is Sedimentary Rock formed?

Back

Weathering and erosion cause sediments to layer on top of each other. These layers are then compacted and cemented together.

Front

Which type of plate boundary can we expect earthquakes to occur?

Back

Transform Plate Boundaries.

Front

What effect does deforestation have on the environment?

Back

Trees absorb carbon dioxide, so more will be found in the atmosphere.

Front

What kind of heat transfer is occurring in the mantle to cause the movement of plates?

Back

Convection.

Front

Which plate boundaries 'Slide past each other'?

Back

Transform Plate Boundaries.

Front

What are the three main types of rocks?

Back

Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic.

Front

What is the process of weathering?

Back

The breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces by natural forces.

Front

What is erosion?

Back

The movement of sediments from one location to another by wind, water, or ice.

Front

What is a convergent plate boundary?

Back

A boundary where two tectonic plates move toward each other, often causing mountains or earthquakes.

Front

What is a divergent plate boundary?

Back

A boundary where two tectonic plates move away from each other, often creating new crust.
