Most scientists think this is how carbon atoms are formed. • What is by nuclear fusion within large stars?
This is where the youngest rocks on the ocean floor are found. • What is at mid-ocean ridges?
Studying the magnetic patterns of the rocks in the ocean floor helps scientists prove this theory. • What is the theory of plate tectonics?
These form at a continental to continental convergent boundary? • What are folded mountains?
This forms at a convergent boundary between two oceanic plates. • What is an arc chain of volcanic islands?
This is where deep oceanic trenches form. • What is at subduction zones?
This kind of rock forms when melted rock cools and solidifies. • What is igneous?
This kind of rock is formed from other kinds of rocks under intense heat and pressure within the Earth’s crust. • What are metamorphic rocks?
The Richter scale is used to measure this. • What is an earthquake’s intensity or magnitude?
