CH. 3/4 REVIEW GAME -- AICE Marine

The process where large sections of the Earth’s crust are in constant movement

over the fluid mantle, causing earthquakes and volcanoes at the borders

between the plates.

NGSS.HS-ESS2-1

A theory supporting the possibility that continents are able to move over Earth’s

surface.

• Continental Drift

• Oceanic Crust

• Mid-Ocean Ridge

• Plate Tectonics

NGSS.MS-ESS2-3

A long, narrow and deep depression on the ocean floor with relatively steep

sides; caused by convergent plate boundaries

• Continental Drift

• Oceanic Crust

• Mid-Ocean Ridge

• Trench

The core of Earth is composed primarily of:

• uranium

• nickel

• metallic hydrogen

• iron

Which best describes the term stratified?

• To transfer heat through a material

• To arrange or form layers

• To spread information.

• An expression of the heaviness of a substance or mass/volume.

The place where crust is being “recycled” back into the mantle is at:

• Mid-ocean ridges

• Sea floor spreading centers

• Subduction zone

• Transform plate boundary

NGSS.HS-ESS2-1

Comprises the actual seafloor (beneath the sediments).

• Granitic rock

• Basaltic rock

Tags

NGSS.MS-ESS2-3

Which of the following makes up the most of Earth’s volume?

• mantle material.

• granite rock

• liquid water

• basalt

Land-based evidence for plate tectonics can be seen in:

• the distribution of similar fossils on now far apart continents.

• the alignment of mountain ranges.

• the correlation of rocks in now widely separated continents.
