Earth's "outer" layer is made of
hard solid rock
soft solid rock
sediment
magma
Geologists look for patterns in land forms such as those made by
connecting roads
tiger prints
human tracks
earthquakes and volcanoes
Earths outer layer is divided into sections called
zones
plates
continents
countries
New plates are formed at the
Convergent Plate Boundary
Divergent Plate Boundary
Transform Fault
The plates of Earth's outer layer can
move very slowly
move very fast
not move at all
move to fast to measure
Earth's plates move on top of a soft, solid layer of rock called the
plate zone
diverging zone
converging zone
mantle
For plates to travel great distances it takes
1 hour
2 days
millions of years
5 months
This boundary allows two plates to move away from each other.
convergent boundary
fault boundary
divergent boundary
transform boundary
Plates are destroyed at
Convergant Plate Boundaries
Divergant Plate Boundaries
Transform Plate Boundaries
Earth's plates move at a rate
5 feet per month
1 foot per week
60 miles per hour
to slow to be seen by humans but about 1 cm per year
When one plate moves under another plate then sinks to into the mantel.
Rivera boundary
Convergent boundary
Divergent boundary
Transform fault
The reason the Mesosaurus fossils were found so far away from each other is because
they once swam across the ocean
they flew to the other continent
someone carried them to the other continent
there was a divergent plate boundary which pushed the land apart.
What type of plate boundary is this?
Convergant
Divergant
Transform fault
Side fault
A feature that forms on the surface of a planet, such as a mountain, channel, or sand dune is called a
cross section
fossil
earthquake
landform
Hot liquid below the Earth's surface
model
pattern
magma
rate
What type of plate boundary is this?
Convergant
Transform
Divergent
Side fault
