4 Plate Tectonics Rivers & Glaciers Weathering & Erosion 10 Point 20 Points 30 Points 40 Points 50 Points 10 Point 20 Points 30 Points 40 Points 50 Points 30 Points 40 Points 50 Points Mountains & Volcanoes Earth Structures

5 This is a general term referring to the surface features of the earth like hills, mountains, valleys and other relief features.

6 What is Topography?

7 This layer of the Earth’s interior is divided into two parts and includes the asthenosphere.

8 What is the Mantle?

9 These flat, horizontally positioned regions are found along coastal areas or at lower elevations.

10 What are Plains?

11 These rugged, flat regions are usually found at higher elevations as a result of movements of the Earth’s crust.

12 What are Plateaus?

13 These are regions usually found above 300m.

14 What are Mountains?

15 This is the movement of pieces of the Earth’s crust on top of the Earth’s mantle.

16 What is Plate Tectonics?

17 These are responsible for the movement of the Earth’s Tectonic Plates.

18 What are Convectional Currents?

19 These boundaries are created by tensional forces.

20 What are Divergent Boundaries

21 This refers to an area where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another due to compressional forces

22 What is a Subduction Zone?

23 Tremors and earthquakes are usually found at these boundaries.

24 What are Transform Boundaries?

25 This is a mountain building process in which the Earth's plates are pushed together in a roller coaster like series of high points and low points.

26 What is Folding?

27 These features are found in folded mountains.

28 What are Syncline & Anticline?

29 In this process tectonic plates collide and many layers of the Earth’s crust is forced vertically upward.

30 What is Faulting?

31 These are the three types of volcanoes.

32 What are ash and cinder, composite and shield.

33 This region is home to the most active volcanoes in the world.

34 What is the Pacific Ring of Fire.

35 This type of river has little meandering, a steep slope and usually has rapids and waterfalls.

36 What is a youthful (young) river?

37 This is the area at the mouth of a river where silt is deposited as the river slows.

38 What is a Delta?

39 Erratics, drumlins and eskers are common features of this type of glacier.

40 What is Continental?

41 This is the rigid, knife- like area formed between two cirques in an alpine glacier.

42 What is an arête

43 This is the name given to the area in which glaciation stops.

44 What is Terminal Moraine?

45 This is the process of sediment transport and deposition.

46 What is Erosion?

47 Frost fractures and exfoliation are examples of this.

48 What is Physical Weathering?

49 This is the name given to dominant feature in this picture.

50 What is a Spit

51 Name these features from top to bottom.

52 What are Sea Cave, Sea Arch and Sea Stack?

53 This is the name given to a coast line caused by lowering sea levels and the springing-up of the land following the end of glaciation.

54 What is an Emerging Coastline?

55 Make your wager

56 What are Hydraulic action, Corrosion and Abrasion?
