  3. Tectonic is from the Latin word meaning __________________

  4. Build

  5. This word means “whole Earth”

  6. Pangaea

  7. This is the term used for the “recycling” of the Earth’s crust

  8. Subduction

  9. Alfred Wegner developed the idea of _________ _____________

  10. Continental Drift (Pangaea)

  11. The scientist who developed the idea of sea floor spreading

  12. Harry Hess

  13. The three types of boundaries are

  14. Convergent, divergent, transform

  15. Rifts and ridges are a result of this type of boundary

  16. Divergent

  17. Convergent boundaries can result in these three formations

  18. Volcanoes, mountains, trenches

  19. A transform boundary results in this.

  20. Earthquake orFault

  21. Name these boundaries

  22. Transform, Divergent, Convergent

  23. Volcanoes are ____________ ________ that release energy from deep within Earth

  24. Pressure Valves

  25. The world’s most active volcanic zone

  26. Ring of Fire

  27. Where active volcanoes are found

  28. Convergent Plate Boundaries

  29. Label the following diagram 1. 2. 3. 4.

  30. 1. Crater2. Central Vent3. Fissure4. Magma Chamber

  31. How does a volcano form?

  32. Volcanoes form at a Convergent Boundary where magma forces its way up through weak spots in the Earth’s crust

  33. Where do earthquakes usually occur?

  34. Faults

  35. What is the epicenter of an earthquake?

  36. The place on the Earth’s crust where movement first occurs

  37. What is used to measure earthquakes?

  38. Seismograph

  39. What type of ground and magnitude would create the most dangerous earthquake?

  40. Fault LineHigh Magnitude

  41. How does an earthquake occur?

  42. Plates within the Earth suddenly break or shift under stress, sending shock waves rippling through the mantle

  43. What role do convection currents play in plate tectonics?

  44. Cause the plates to move

  45. What is subduction?

  46. Recycling of tectonic plates

  47. Where was the most deadly earthquake?

  48. China

  49. How did the Milky Way represent the earth?

  50. Chocolate – crustCaramel – asthenosphereNougat – inner core
