This type of plate boundary occurs when two plates slide past each other forming a zigzag plate margin. The San Andreas Fault in California is an example of a ______ boundary.
Ie know my boundaries for 10
I know my boundaries for 100
What are Transform Boundaries?
I know my boundaries for 200
These are boundaries where plates move together and form a collision or subduction zone.
I know my boundaries for 200
What are
Convergent Boundaries
I know my boundaries 300
These boundaries are created when plates move apart and new material is added to the Earth’s crust. An example is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

The scientist who proposed that the continents were once part of a super continent.
History of Tectonics for 200
Who isAlfred Wegner?
History of Tectonics for 200
The name of the super continent theorized by Alfred Wegner.
History of Tectonics for 300
History of Tectonics for 300
What is Pangaea?
History of Tectonics for 400
When Paleontologists found evidence of similar __________ on continents separated by great geographic distance, the idea of a super continent Pangaea was supported.
History of Tectonics for 400
What are species or fossils?
History of Tectonics for 500
Scientists studying _______________, the detection of the Earth’s movement, proved that earthquakes and volcanoes seem to align along belts that define the tectonic plates.

What is Seismology?
The Earth's Layers for 100
The continents and the oceans are part of this layer of the earth’s surface. It is the lightest layer of the Earth.
The Earth's Layers for 100
What is the Crust?
The Earth's Layers for 200
A semi-liquid layer of the Mantle just under the lithosphere that flows as a result of convection currents and causes plates to move.
The Earth's Layers for 200
What is the aesthenosphere?
The Earth's Layers for 300
Fluid movements just below the lithosphere that causes earthquakes, mountain building and volcanoes.
The Earth's Layers for 300
What are convection currents?
The Earth's Layers for 400
This layer is composed of solid iron and nickel. Although it is the smallest layer, it is the heaviest.
The Earth's Layers for 400
What is the inner core?
The Earth's Layers for 500
This layer is liquid iron and nickel.
The Earth's Layers for 500
What is the outer core?
Fact Maniac for 100
Most of these are due to the release of built-up energy along plate boundaries. When the pressure on a fault overcomes the friction on a fault, this occurs.
What is an earthquake?
Fact Maniac for 200
Earthquakes release energy in the form of these types of waves
Fact Maniac for 200
What are primary and secondary waves?
Fact Maniac for 300
The amount of energy released during an Earthquake is measured by seismographs and reported as _____________.
Fact Maniac for 300
What is magnitude?
Fact Maniac for 400
Inside the earth’s core, a reaction occurs which that breaks heavy element into smaller pieces causing a chain reaction. This event is called
Fact Maniac for 400
What is Fission?
Fact Maniac for 500
Scientists believe that these reactions inside the Earth’s core create convection currents that move Earth’s plates.
