Where do convection cycles happen?
core
mantle
crust
Convection cycles move in the mantle. How does this affect the crust?
crust has no motion
crust moves in random direction
crust moves in same direction convection cycle moves
What is magma made of?
solid rock
melted rock
small pieces of sediment
What layer of earth changes because of the convection cycle?
Crust
Core
Mantle
If magma increases in temperature (get hot) what will happen?
It moves down (sinks)
It moves up (rises)
Which of the following is one reason Earth's tectonic plates to move?
energy from the Sun
magnetic Pole Reversal
convection currents in the mantle
faults in Mountain Ranges
Rocky or rigid outer part of Earth consisting of the brittle crust and the top part of the upper mantle
Lithosphere
Oceanic Crust
Continental Crust
Asthenosphere
Mantle convection is the very slow creeping motion of Earth’s solid silicate mantle caused by convection currents carrying heat from the interior to the planet's surface.
Lithosphere
Earthquake
Convection Currents
Core
In the region where two continental plates collide, what geological feature MOST often forms?
an ocean
a volcano
a river valley
a mountain chain
Crustal plates that pull apart from one another MOST likely form
volcanic island arcs
strike-slip faults
oceanic trenches
rift zones
Which statement best describes why fossils of the same land-dwelling species have been discovered in both South America and Africa?
The organism migrated to two continents
The organisms were separated by the formation of new mountain ranges
The organisms became extinct due to climate change on these continents
These organisms once lived on one large landmass that later split into two continents
A satellite image can help scientist locate the area where two plates have diverged by showing the existence of
Plateaus
Mountains
Rift Valleys
Grassy Plains
