The process by which new oceanic lithosphere (sea floor) forms when magma rises to Earth's surface at mid-ocean ridges a solidifies (hardens) as older, existing sea floor moves away from the ridge.

The Boundary between tectonic plates that are colliding.

The theory that Earth's outer layer is made up of large moving pieces called tectonic plates; the theory explains how plates interact and how those interactions relate to processes such as earthquakes and mountain building.

The boundary between tectonic plates that are sliding past each other horizontally.

The boundary between tectonic plates that are moving away from each other.

This type of plate boundary is most often associate with earthquake

The Great Rift Valley in Africa occurs on land at this plate boundary

The Himalayan mountains and Mt. Everest can be found at this plate boundary.

The San Andreas fault in California is on this type of plate boundary

Mid-ocean ridge and sea-floor spreading happen at this plate boundary

What is magma?

The zone of earthquakes and volcanoes surrounding the Pacific Ocean.

German Scientists that first theorized about the past existence of a super continent called Pangea.

Large ocean eave created by undersea earthquakes or volcanic eruptions

Two continental plates meeting at a convergent boundary create what type of landform?

What two landforms are created by the convergence of an ocean plate with a continental plate?

What landforms would be created at this plate boundary? (pick 2)

Where does subduction occur?

Where do earthquakes AND volcanoes occur?

Using the image shown above, in which location is Igneous rock found in the rock cycle?

Using the image shown, in which location is Sedimentary rock found in the rock cycle?

The Appalachian Mountains in north Georgia were formed when tectonic plates collided nearly 480 million years ago. They have weathered and eroded since they formed. The Himalayan mountains of Asia are steep and jagged because they are young and still forming where plates are colliding. The physical appearance of mountains tells much about their age because:

At which locations would you most likely find mafic minerals?

Areas of volcanism away from plate boundaries are called:

New seafloor moves away from the ridge, cools, moving outward in both directions

Oceanic crust is sliding beneath the Aleutian Islands in the North Pacific Ocean, forming the Aleutian Trench shown in the picture to the right.  What type of plate boundary is involved in forming this trench?

Identify the Four types of mountains in order A-D in the images at the left

High, non-volcanic mountains are forming at location A on the map.  What process is causing these mountains to form?

The map to the left shows the location of ancient, CONVERGENT faults in Georgia. If these were DIVERGENT faults instead, what type of landform would most likely be present?

a.      Rift Valley

b.      Mountains

c.       Ocean Trenches

Moraines

Which of the following is an effect of plate tectonics?
