what type of plate is on the right?

continental

Name the type of wave that travels through the earth's crust in an earthquake?

Seismic waves

Name a piece of evidence for Seafloor spreading at oceanic ridges

age of the rocks, sediment thickness, magnetic striping

What is the layer of the Earth called that you are standing on?

Crust or lithosphere

what would you expect to find under the ocean at this boundary?

Deep ocean trench

Name a piece of evidence for continental drift

coastlines of continents fit together like a jigsaw, matching fossils on different land masses, matching rock formations, paleoclimate data

what elements is the Earth's core mostly made of

iron and nickel

What is the name of the theory that suggested the continents were moving?

continental drift

What is the name of the region around the Pacific Ocean where numerous volcanoes occur

Ring of Fire

what would you expect to find on the surface above this boundary?

volcanoes

what type of boundary does seafloor spreading occur at?

divergent

What is the process that recycles or destroys earth's crust

subduction

Which one is faster, s or p waves?

P waves

what is happening at this boundary?

seafloor spreading

which type of crust is older, continental or oceanic?

continental

What is the molten rock called underneath the Earth's surface?

magma

what is the formula to calculate density?

mass / volume

What is likely to occur at a transform boundary?

earthquakes

what process causes the rising magma to form into rock?

cooling

What type of boundary is this ?

Convergent

what state of matter is the inner core?

solid

Name the two types of crust

oceanic and continental

which type of crust is more dense?

oceanic

When neighbouring tectonic plates are moving away from each other, the boundary is called

divergent, or constructive

What type of tectonic plate boundary is responsible for the formation of large mountains like mount Everest?

convergent

Name the nine planets in order

mercury, V, E, M, J, S, U, N
