Earth's Layers Tectonic Plates Geohazards (Easy, Not Really That Hard)
100
How many layers does the Earth have?
4 layers
100
What causes earthquakes? Explain
Transform Boundaries, because the two plates get stuck and they try to force past each other causing them to slip very fast and cause major shaking in the earth.
100
What can be damaged by earthquakes?
Houses, People Dying, and Damaged Things
200
Name all the layers of the earth
Lithosphere (Crust), Mantle Layer, Outer Core, Thick Inner Core
200
What tectonic plate creates mountains? Type of Collision?
Convergent Boundary: Continent-Continent Collision
200
What is a volcano made from? Collision?
Convergent Boundaries: Continent-Oceanic Collision
300
What layer contains convection currents?
Mantle
300
What boundary creates rifts?
Divergent Boundaries
300
What can Volcanic ash lead to?
Suffocating, Death/Suffering and Poisoning Animals
400
What is each layer made out of?
Lithosphere: Silicon, aluminum, and magnesium
Mantle: Rapidly flowing magma
Outer Core: Heavy Metals, nickel, and iron
Inner Core: Heat and High pressure
400
Ocean-Ocean Plate Collision: When two oceanic plates collide, one runs over the other which causes it to sink into the mantle; What is this called?
Subduction
400
What is a hot spot?
Volcanos categorized to have underlying magma filling it up.
500
How thick is each layer in kilometers?
Lithosphere: 6-35km, Mantle:2900km, Outer Core:2000km, Inner Core:1370km
500
What causes major earthquakes other than transform boundaries?
Faults in the deep parts of the earth.
500
Is global warming considered geohazards? Explain
Yes, because sooner or later the ozone later will go away causing the species to die out and earth to quickly change to another type of planet.
