Convergent boundary: continental crust - continental crust

Choose all that occurs at this boundary.

• subduction

• mountains

• new ocean floor

• mid-ocean ridge

Choose the term that means:

Movement due to changes in temperature and density. Hot, less dense material rises; cold, denser material sinks.

• convection current

• magma

• mantle

• hotspot

Which crust type is THICKER and LESS dense?

• oceanic

• continental

• lithosphere

• transform

Choose the term that means:

Solid outer layer of the Earth.

• crust

• asthenosphere

• tectonic plate boundary

• core

Which of the following is the correct order of the layers of the Earth from the outside to the inside?

• crust - mantle - outer core - inner core

• inner core - mantle - crust - outer core

• crust - inner core - mantle - outer core

• mantle - crust - inner core - outer core

Choose the term that means:

The part of the earth between the core and the crust.

• mantle

• lithosphere

• mesosphere

• magma

Convection Currents in the Mantle - which of the following terms describe what is happening at point A.

• Density of mantle material is less than material above it, so the materials begin to rise.

• Rising material hits the rigid lithosphere and cannot go up any further.

• The force of gravity causes denser material to sink.

• Core heat causes temperatures to rise, therefore decreasing the density of material.
