Unit 2: Earth Processes Review

Front

What is the outer layer of the Earth called?

Back

The outer layer of the Earth is called the Crust.

Front

What is the state of matter of the outer core?

Back

The outer core is in a liquid state.

Front

What is the layer of the Earth that is located between the crust and the outer core?

Back

The layer located between the crust and the outer core is the Mantle.

Front

What geological feature is formed at a divergent boundary?

Back

Mid-Ocean Ridges are formed at divergent boundaries.

Front

What is the process of deposition in geology?

Back

Deposition is the process of adding sediments, soil, and rocks to a landform or landmass.

Front

What is the primary cause of volcanic activity at mid-ocean ridges?

Back

The primary cause of volcanic activity at mid-ocean ridges is the movement of tectonic plates.

Front

What are tectonic plates?

Back

Tectonic plates are large sections of the Earth's lithosphere that move and interact with each other.

Front

What is a convergent boundary?

Back

A convergent boundary is where two tectonic plates move towards each other, often causing one plate to be forced beneath the other.

Front

What geological feature is commonly associated with convergent boundaries?

Back

Mountain ranges are commonly associated with convergent boundaries.

Front

What is the significance of the mantle in Earth's structure?

Back

The mantle is significant as it is the thickest layer of the Earth and plays a crucial role in tectonic activity.
