The innermost part of the Earth Plate Tectonics 20

Core Plate Tectonics 20

30 The outermost part of the Earth; the part we live on Plate Tectonics 30

crust Plate Tectonics 30

Describe the mantle part of the Earth Animal Needs 40

Hot, melted rock that rotates like boiling water Plate Tectonics 40

Describe what makes the plates move Plate Tectonics 50

The plates float on top of the mantle The plates float on top of the mantle. As the hot mantle rolls like boiling water, the plates slide to new positions. Plate Tectonics 50

20 The type of boundary when the plates are moving toward each other. Boundaries 20

convergent boundary Boundaries 20

30 The types of boundary when the plates slide past each other Boundaries 30

transform boundary Boundaries 30

The types of boundaries when the plates are moving apart from each other. 40

divergent Boundaries 40

How do convergent boundaries create mountains? 50

The boundaries compress together and push up the land to create mountains 50

Volcano questions follow

Hot melted rock deep within the Earth Volcano 10

magma Volcano 10

20 Melted rock that flows out of the ground onto the Earth’s surface Volcano 20

lava Volcano 20

The name(s) for volcanoes that are no longer active 30

Dormant or extinct Volcano 30

Where do volcanoes usually form? 40

On convergent boundaries where one plate is being subducted (shoved below) by another OR Divergent boundaries where the plates are spreading apart and magma reaches the surface. Volcano 40

How do volcanoes create new land? 50

The lava hardens to create new rocks and land. Volcano 50
