What is erosion?
large rocks gathered at the base of a tree
rocks sitting at the base of the ocean crust
movement of plants and trees caused by tectonic plates
movement of rocks, soil or materials
What is sediment?
tiny particles of rocks at the bottom of the water
itty-bitty particles of gases floating on the top of the mantle
small fragments of wood
large masses of debris floating atop the ocean
What determines the age of the rock layer?
fault lines in the rock layer
sedimentary rock deposits
fossils
tracings
What are Transform Boundaries?
Plates that repel each other - move away from each other
Plates that collide with one another - push against each other
Plates that slide past each other - rub against one another
Plates that vibrate against each other
What are Divergent Boundaries?
Plates that vibrate against each other

Name the two types of crust
Oceanic and Continental
Continental and Organic
Orangatan and Conversion
Oceanic and Subductive
What are Convergent Boundaries?
plates that collide with one another - push against each other
plates that repel each other - move away from each other
plates that slide past each other - rub against one another
plates that vibrate against each other.
What crust lies under water?

Can cause Earthquakes
Interact at their boundaries
Are very thin
What is the sections of rocks, just above the mantle, called?
Technical Posters

Subduction Plates
formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.
igneous rock
metamorphic rock
The Rock
minerals
states that younger rock is found above older rock when comparing undisturbed sedimentary rock layers
law of superposition

What is the Theory of Pangaea?
A large piece of dough bread.
one massive supercontinent instead of different continents
one small island that moves around Pangaea a complete
set of rules that helps the people live
What are fossils?
Petrified plants, bones and other things located in the outer core
preserved remains of plants or animals in the crust
un-preserved remains of plants, animals and tracks
broken pieces of animals and plants preserved in the mantle.
Fossils are: (choose all that apply)
found in sedimentary rocks

What is the Law of Superposition
rock layers that are closer to the surface are older than the ones deeper
old and new rocks are found in the same place within the crust
rock layers get older as you go further down into the crust
rock layers that are deep down are the most recent inside the mantle
How do rock layers form?
deposition, compaction, sedimentation, cementation
compaction, sedimentation, deposition, cementation
deposition, sedimentation, compaction, cementation

Sedimentary rock makes up most of the Earth's crust. Sediment is
broken pieces of lava that float on the top of the crust
broken pieces of rock that settles to the bottom of a liquid.
dirt and rock that floats on the top of liquid
solid material that floats just above the mantle.

Which boundary is a divergent boundary?
Which boundary is a subductive boundary?
Which boundary is a transform boundary?
What is happening in the above picture?
Lava is building to push the tectonic plates
The subduction zone is pushing into the layers forcing magma to the surface. A weak area will create an earthquake.
The subduction zone is pushing into the layers forcing magma to the surface. A weak area will create a volcano.
The divergent zone is forcing the tectonic plate downward causing a volcano.
