pizza and subway
The _________ is the largest layer of the Earth.
Inner Core
Outer Core
Crust
Lower Mantle
What is the outer core made out of?
Liquid metal
Solid metal
Liquid rock
Solid rock
Which is the correct statement?
Oceanic crust is thinner but denser and younger.
Continental Crust is thinner but denser and younger
Oceanic crust is underneath the continental crust.
Continental crust is underneath the oceanic crust.
The earthquakes experienced in California are related to tectonic plates because these catastrophic events are the result of -
two tectonic plates sliding past each other.
tectonic plates melting as they slide into the mantle.
tectonic plates being weathered over time.
two tectonic plates pulling away from each other.
Which of the following features is likely to form where two tectonic plates push toward each other?
Ocean shoreline
Mountain range
Mid-ocean ridge
Rift valley
A mid-ocean RIDGE is located at the boundary of two tectonic plates. Which diagram correctly models the relative plate motion on each side of a mid ocean ridge?
The diagram shows a model of the movement of two tectonic plates. When the plates collide, on plate often moves below the other plate. The rising magma that can result from this type of plate movement may produce-
fossil layers
volcanic islands
deep-sea sediment
seafloor spreading
This landform can occur at a divergent plate boundary.
ocean trench
mid-ocean ridge
tall mountains
transform fault
What type of plate boundary is this?
Plate
Divergent
Convergent
Transform
The model below shows two continental plates. What type of plate boundary is this
Transform boundary
Divergent boundary
Subduction boundary
Convergent boundary
