Geography Tectonics Revision

What is the correct order of the interior sections of the Earth?

• Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core, Crust

• Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core

• Outer Core, Inner Core, Mantle, Crust

• Inner Core, Crust, Mantle, Outer Core

What are Convection Currents?

• The movement of heat through the Mantle

• The movement of heat through the Outer Core

• The movement of heat through the Crust

• The movement of heat through the Interior of the Earth

The Earth's crustal plate move because ...

• The Earth's Gravity drag the plates together, apart, against one another

• The Gravity of the Moon drag the plates together, apart, against one another

• Convection currents in the mantle drag the plates together, apart, against one another

• The Magnetism of the Earth's Core drag the plates together, apart, against one another

The Characteristics of Oceanic crust are ...

• Made of Granite, can deform (bend), Thick (20-75km thick)

• Made of Sandstone, always 25km thick, bends under pressure of sea water

• Made of marble, 4km thick, can be polished to a shine

• Made of basalt rock, rigid, thin (8km thick)

The Characteristics of Continental Crust are ...

• Made of Sandstone, lovely, always found in the sea

• Made of Granite, 25-75km thick, can be deformed (bent)

• Made of Basalt, 8-20km thick, rigid (cannot be bent)

• Made of Marble, can be polished, forms big mountains, always 25km thick

Subduction is ....

• Where oceanic crust is drawn down beneath continental crust by convection currents

• Where continental crust is bent and mountains are formed

• When a volcano is formed by rising magma

• They process which forms earthquakes

Identify the correct statements that characterise the Montserrat Volcano

• Volcano erupted in 1987, lava flow, roads where blocked

• Volcano erupted in 2004, lava bombs, many houses in the countryside destroyed

• Volcano erupted in 1997, pyroclastic flow, the capital, Plymouth was buried beneath ash

• Volcano erupted in 1943, smoke engulfed the island, poisonous gases killed cows
