|
The surface geological features of the Earth
What is topography?
|
False. The topography of the ocean floor is pretty uneven.
True or false: The ocean floor is mostly flat and even.
|
Folds and faults
What are two things that stress on rocks can produce?
|
They are formed when magma solidifies.
How are igneous rocks formed?
|
They are formed inside the Earth's crust.
Where are metamorphic rocks formed?
|
|
Rain, wind, ice
What are two examples of Earth's external forces?
|
Ocean ridges
What are large underwater elevations in the central part of an ocean called?
|
Compression, tension and shear
Name 3 types of stresses that can cause deformation in rocks
|
Intrusive or plutonic igneous rocks
What type of igneous rocks is formed when magma solidifies slowly inside the Earth's crust?
|
False! The pressure is also very high.
True or False: Metamorphism takes place deep inside the Earth where the temperatures are very high and the pressure on the rocks is low.
|
|
They move the plates and create geological structures.
What do the Earth's internal forces do?
|
The Mariana Trench
Can you name one famous deep ocean trench?
|
Your drawing should be a U shape
Draw the shape of a syncline fold
|
What is one example of an intrusive or plutonic igneous rock?
What is one example of an intrusive or plutonic igneous rock?
|
It produces changes in the appearance, texture and the types of minerals in the rocks.
What are three things that metamorphism produces changes in in rocks?
|
|
Mountain ranges are formed when two tectonic plates collide. The plates are under a lot of pressure and causes the sediments to fold and form mountains.
Explain in your own words how mountain ranges are formed.
|
Oceanic trenches
What are deep depressions in the ocean floor called?
|
A fault is a fracture in a rock caused by a displacement of the two volumes of rock on both sides of it
Explain in your own words what a fault is
|
They are formed when magma cools down very quickly as it reaches the Earth's surface in the form of lava.
Explain how an extrusive or volcanic rock forms
|
Cracks in the Earth where magma rises, ocean basins where sediments are sinking
What is one place where metamorphism takes place?
|
|
They're frequent because mountains are formed when two tectonic plates meet.
Explain why earthquakes and volcanoes are frequent in mountainous regions
|
Continental shelves
What are the parts of a continent that are covered by the sea called?
|
A fold is a bend in the ground caused when plastic materials are compressed
Explain in your own words what a fold is
|
Yes, it is formed by magma that cools down very quickly. No, it doesn't have crystals.
Is pumice formed by magma that cools down quickly or slowly? Does it have crystals?
|
External forces like weather, the energy of rivers and seas AND the movement of the tectonic plates
What are two things responsible for changes in rocks during the rock cycle?
