List the 5 physical layers of the earth in order according to the diagram Then, list the 3 compositional layers of the earth Extra points if you can remember what materials compose those three layers 1 2 3 4 5 Double Jeopardy
1 – Lithosphere2- Asthenosphere3 – Mesosphere4 – Outer Core5 – Inner CoreThe compositional layers are – Crust (Silicon/Basalt), Mantle, core (Nickle, Iron)
Match Double Jeopardy Crust Mantle Core Lithosphere Asthenosphere Mesosphere Outer Core Inner Core
Crust=lithospheremantle = asthenosphere & mesosphereCore= Inner core & outer core
What is the upper part of the mantle called? What is the lower part of the mantle called?
What is the plate tectonic theory or the continental drift theory?
It is the theory that the earth was once one continent and that oceanic and continental crusts moved and separated due to convection and sea floor spreading
What can happen at a convergent boundary?What can happen at a transform boundary?What can happen at a divergent boundary?
Convergent: mountains, earthquakes and volcano’s.Transform: earthquakes and volcano’sDivergent: Sea floor spreading (mid ocean ridges), earthquakes and volcano’s
What are the 3 types of boundaries that tectonic plates form?
What are the 3 types of boundaries that tectonic plates form?
Using seafloor spreading as a model, describe the relationship between the lithosphere, the asthenosphere and the mesosphere.
When the sea floor spreads, the lithosphere (oceanic crust) gets a crack called a trench. The trench is caused by a pull of the asthenosphere (divergent boundary). This allows magma to flow up from the mesosphere (mantle) which was heated up by the core.
The mid ocean ridges are formed at the divergent plate boundaries under the oceans, on the ocean floor or the oceanic crust.
Sometimes two plate boundaries meet at a convergent area, and one plate is forced down under the other. What is this process called?
Is all the water that falls to Earth as precipitation return back to the water cycle? Double Jeoardy
No, some is stored as groundwater and some is frozen as ice and snow.
The soil is full of water and the excess water from rain flows over the land (causes water erosion)
Explain if it’s an endothermic (absorbing heat) or exothermic (releasing heat) state change:Solid to liquid
Endothermic – it absorbs heat to allow the molecules to move
Explain if it’s an endothermic (absorbing heat) or exothermic (releasing heat) state change:Liquid to gas
Endothermic – it absorbs heat to allow the molecules to move
Explain if it’s an endothermic (absorbing heat) or exothermic (releasing heat) state change:Solid to gas
That is called sublimation and it’s an endothermic change of state. It has to absorb a lot of heat to allow the molecules to completely break away.
Explain if it’s an endothermic (absorbing heat) or exothermic (releasing heat) state change:liquid to a solid
Exothermic – it releases heat so the molecules can slow down
A volcano would grow because of an eruption. The eruption would cause magma to flow and solidify, making the volcano wider and possibly taller.
An earthquake produces P and S waves. In what direction do these waves go from the epicenter?
