Plate Tectonics

EarthquakesTsunamis VolcanoesEarth’s

Structure

These are the three plate boundaries.

What are convergent, divergent, and transform

boundaries?

This term is when a plate slides underneath another

plate.

What is subduction?

This is a supercontinent that spread apart to form

continents.

What is Pangaea?

There are two types of these: oceanic and

continental.

What are tectonic plates.

These are three results of plate tectonics.

What are volcanoes, tsunamis, and earthquakes.

This is the tool scientists use to record earthquakes.

What is a seismograph.

This term describes an earthquake’s size.

What is magnitude.

DAILY DAILY DOUBLE!DOUBLE!

These are two facts about These are two facts about primary waves.primary waves.

What is that they are faster and reach the seismograph first.They also move by

pushing and pulling the ground.

This type of wave moves from side to side causing

major damage.

What are S-waves.

These are the three steps to create an earthquake.

What are plate movement causes friction, plates

snap back together, and vibrations shake the

ground.

This is the cause of tsunamis.

What is an underwater earthquakes, volcanoes,

and landslides.

The water pulls away from the shore is an indication

of this.

What happens when a tsunamis is about to reach

the shore.

These are three things Japan does to prevent damage during natural

disasters.

What are stricter building codes, concrete barriers, and establish evacuation

routes.

As fast as a jet engine, up to 1,000 km/hr

What is the speed of tsunamis.

This is the main difference between tsunamis and

tidal waves.

What is tsunamis are caused by earthquakes

and tidal waves are caused by wind and the

moon.

What is the difference between lava and

magma?

What is that magma is inside a volcano, but lava

is outside.

What are the types of volcanoes?

Shield, cinder cone, composite

This volcano a gentle slope causes by slow

moving lava.

What is a shield volcano?

Mount Saint Helens is an example of this type of a

volcano.

What is an example of a composite volcano?

Crater Lake, Oregon

What is an example of a cone volcano?

What are the layers of the Earth?

Crust, mantle, inner core, outer core

Describe how the magma moves inside the mantle.

The magma gets heated near the core and rises

toward the crust.

What is the material in the inner core?

Liquid iron and nickel due to immense pressure.

This layer is divided into two types of plates:

continental and oceanic.

What is the crust.

What is the mantle?

This layer is 1800 miles thick. It is also the thickest

layer.
