Continental drift and Plate tectonics

What is Ocean CRUST?

• Thinner, Denser, younger

• Thicker Less Dense Older

• Thicker, denser, younger

• Thinner less dense younger

What is Continental CRUST?

• Thicker, Less dense, older

• Thinner denser, younger

• denser younger

• CONTINENTAL CRUST

Convergent continent to continent is

• When 2 plates collide (land to land)

• Folded mountains make volcanoes

NGSS.MS-ESS2-3

Convergent Continent to oceanic

• Land to ocean

• Subduction will happen

• Folded mountains, Earthquakes, trenches, subduction.

Ocean to ocean

• Convergent

• Transform

• Ocean to ocean

• Ocean crust collides with each other forming volcanoes arch-ocean trench.

DIVERGENT Ocean from the ocean?

• 2 plates going away from each other (mid-ocean ridge seafloor spreading.)

• When 2 plates come together

• When 2 plates collide and make sea-floor spreading.

• All the above

Plate Tectonics

• The theory of describing how the lithosphere is in constant slow motion often by convection in the atmosphere?

• It's the plates

• The fluid conveyor belt

• Oceanic crust

Subduction

• Under

• When a plate goes on top of the other.

• When Mid-ocean ridge

• When a continent goes under the other one.

Rift zone/ Mid-ocean ridge

• Long under water mountian ranges where magma rise up to the surface.

• Using___ wave to determain the depth and size an objects.

• Rocks gets older the farther away from the mid-ocean ridge.

• Sea-floor slowly grows outward as new crust is formed pushing the continent along for the ride.

Folded moutians

• When continent to contenient collide with each other it makes folded moutnians but there will be earth-quakes.

• Folded moutnians are formed by continent colliding with each-other.

• Himylayas mountian is a folded moutnian

• The Andes mountains is a folded mountain
