Earth Final Spring 2023

The rigid rocky layer of the crust and upper mantle is called the:

• Asthenosphere

• Lithosphere

• Core

Which layer of Earth is made up of tectonic plates?

• outer core
• inner core
• asthenosphere
• lithosphere

Is a layer of week of soft mantle that is made of rock that flows slowly.  Tectonic plates move on top of this layer. 

• Inner Core
• Asthensophere
• Lithosphere
• Outer Core

Forces that changes rock shape or volume is called

• tension

• compression

• stress

The surface along which rock break and slide past each other is called a:

• fracture
• fault
• joint

Where is the Ring of Fire located?

• Atlantic Plate

• Pacific Plate

• Japanese Plate

• North American Plate

Plates that diverge or move apart from each other

• divergent

• transform

• convergent

• lithosphere

Cracks or breaks in earth's crust where plates slip past each other

• subduction

• faults

• mid-ocean ridge

• san andreas

Occurs when a less dense plate slides under a more dense plate

• tectonic plates

• subduction

• continental drift

• landmass

What type of plate boundary is shown in the picture

• convergent

• divergent

• transform
