The layers of the Earth are...
Core, mantle and orogeny.
Orogeny, relief, core, mantle and crust.
Crust, mantle, outer core and inner core.
Crust, outer mantle, inner mantle and core.
What is orogeny?
Geological hazards as volcanoes and earthquakes.
High temperatures and pressures from the Earth's interior.
Wind, water and human action that shapes the relief.
Tectonic plates that create volcanoes and mountains.
What are faults?
When orogeny deforms flexible rocks and creates mountains.
When orogeny breaks hard rocks and sometimes creates earthquakes.
What is a glacier?
The action of water on permeable rock that create canyons.
Rivers of water that erode rock and create V-shaped valleys.
Waves eroding the coastline to produce cliffs and beaches.
Bodies of ice that erode rock and create U-shaped valleys.
What are ocean trenches?
Submarine depressions where tectonic plates meet.
An area of the ocean floor that is about 4,000 m deep.
Submarine volcanos near the Hawaiian coast.
Mountains of volcanic origin where tectonic plates meet.
In an earthquake the place where the seismic waves are produced is called...
...epicentre.
...megacentre.
...hypocentre or focus.
...Richter centre.
Seismic waves at sea produce...
...underwater volcanoes.
...tsunamis.
..hypocentres on the Earth's crust.
...minor damage.
The agents that shape the relief are...
...water, earth, humans, oceans and temperatures.
...earthquakes, wind, humans, tsunamis and temperatures.
...water, wind, humans, orogeny and temperatures.
...water, volcanoes, humans, layers of the earth and temperatures.
Tectonic plates are large blocks...
...that collide and separate a lot of times every year.
...that separate from each other some metres every year.
...that move over the Mantle slowly and continually.
...that move over the magma of the external core.
Water shapes relief...
...by high temperatures to form deserts and plains.
...by making rock explode and eroding mountains.
...by eroding rocks and forming valleys, beaches and cliffs.
...by colliding against the tectonic plates.
This relief is shaped by...
...orogeny.
...humans.
...animals.
...water.
The opening by which lava comes out in a volcanic eruption is called....
...magma chamber.
...cone.
...epicentre.
...crater.
Elements of the coastal relief
Lagoon, gulf, cove and plateau.
Archipelago, delta, sea inlet and estuary.
Continental slope, trench, ocean ridge and abyssal plain.
Mountain range, cape, peninsula anf valley.
What is this?
A fault produced by orogeny.
A mine excavated by humans.
A fold bent in flexible rocks by Earth's internal forces.
Broken rocks produced by high temperatures.
What is the hottest layer of Earth?
The mantle
The outer core
The inner core
The magma chamber
