SCIENCE FINAL #1

Volcanoes are the result of magma rising up through the mantle at plate boundaries or over hotspots. TRUE OR FALSE?

False

___________a relationship between the amount of mass in a given volume. A characteristic property that is used to identify matter. FILL IN THE BLANK!!

Density

________energy traveling through waves passing through the earth, caused by a sudden shift along a fault line or by volcanic activity. Usually occurs along plate boundaries. FILL IN THE BLANK!!

Earthquakes

Due to the principle of Conservation of Energy, no new rock material is created or destroyed; rock is recycled as a result of moving plates. TRUE OR FALSE?

False

Plates move on Earth's surface in a variety of ways, including toward each other ( Divergent ), away from each other (Convergent), & alongside each other (Strike-slip or Transform). TRUE OR FALSE?

False

Plates rest on the mantle, a hot, softer rock layer that can move and flow. Conservation (cycling of hot and cold material) occurs in the mantle as hot material rises, because it is less dense, and cold material sinks, because it is denser. Earth's plates ride on the moving mantle rock. TRUE OR FALSE?

False

Tectonic plates are fixed slabs of rock of various shapes and sizes that make up the surface of the Earth. TRUE OR FALSE?

False

The Earth's surface is made up of interlocking plates of the same shapes and sizes. TRUE OR FALSE?

False

There are two kinds of plates: continental plates (denser, thinner) and oceanic plates (less dense, thicker). TRUE OR FALSE?

False

___________the amount of matter or "stuff" in an object. Unit = grams (g). FILL IN THE BLANK!!

Mass

_____________the material that all objects and substances are made up of; anything with mass and volume. FILL IN THE BLANK!!

Matter

New material is constantly being added to some edges of some plates, which has created new ocean floor between continents or force them together. TRUE OR FALSE?

True

The geologic time scale (GTS) interpreted from rock strata provides a way to organize Earth's history. TRUE OR FALSE?

True

When two plates interact, the geologic features, and events common on Earth occur (e.g., volcanoes, mountains, trenches, earthquakes). TRUE OR FALSE?

True

__________hill or mountain formed by material that erupts onto the Earth's surface; caused by action of magma below the Earth's surface;most common along plate boundaries. FILL IN THE BLANK!!

Volcano

__________the amount of space an object takes up. Units = milliliters (mL) & Liter (L) for liquids and cubic centimeters (cm3)for solids. FILL IN THE BLANK!!
