rules of contour lines

1. Two different contour lines cannot cross because the would be saying two different lines are the same height 2. The spacing on contour lines on a map reveals the steepness of the ground surface. Closely spaced contour lines indicate steepness and widely spaced contour lines indicate gentle slopes. 3. Concentric contour lines indicate a hill 4. Concentric hachured contour lines indicate a closed depression 5. Contour lines form a V when they cross a stream. The open part of the stream faces a downstream.

The broad tundra plains of northern canada expose a gray, massive rock the formed many kilometers below a mountain belt. This rock, exposed only after the overlying rock was stripped away is?

Metamorphic

Where does the oceanic crust separating North America from Europe form?

Mid-atlantic ridge

Longitude

North and south.

Aerial Photograph

Photographs of ground from elevated/direct down position. Least helpful in trying to visualize hills, valleys and lakes because photos were taken by satellites and pieced together.

Divergent plate boundary

Plates move away from each other at the mid-oceanic ridge or oceanic ridge.

What can plotting the s-wave shadow zone on your model tell us about the earths structure?

S-waves are not transmitted through the liquid outer core. This is used as the main piece of evidence to deduce the size of the core.

Along the coast, waves carry sand out into deeper, quieter water, where it accumulates and gradually becomes buried. A rock formed from sand grains cemented together is ?

Sedimentary rocks

The rule of V's

Suggests which direction the stream flows by the contoured lines. The stream flows the way the V opens up.

what is the main factor that controls the width of the arc trench gap?

The angel of sub-ducting plate

What relationship through geological time do you observe between the evolution/extinction of patterns of plants and animals and sea level?

The less plants and animals there are, the less the sea level is

Asthenosphere

The lithosphere plates rest on it, its a zone in the upper mantle that, although solid has such a low rigidity that it can flow like plastic. Asthenosphere acts as a lubricant, permitting the plates above it to move.

Line spacing contour lines

The closer the lines are the steeper it is, the further the line spacing the more gentle it is.

What relationship through geological time do you observe between sea level and amount of volcanism?

The higher the sea level the higher the volcanism.

What relationship through geological time do you observe between abundance of plants and abundance of oxygen in the atmosphere?

The more plants there are the more oxygen there is

Which one of the four types of imagining methods we discussed uses elevation contours to show landforms?

Topographic

Public land survey system

Township and Range

Movement at a transform plate boundary

Transform

What is the relationship between glaciations and sea level through geological time?

When glaciers melt sea level goes up. Vice versa

When the lithosphere sinks into the asthenosphere. Can it return back up?

Yes. Example- Squeeze a water bottle then let go

Cleavage

a break of a crystal face where a new face is formed where the mineral broke. Natural.

subduction zones

a region of the earths crust where tectonic plates meet. The boundary between the two plates is a deep ocean trench.

the angel of sub-ducting plate controls the width of the ?

arc-trench gap

Continental rifts

are places where continental lithosphere is stretched and pulled apart in the process of breaking apart at a new divergent margin

very fine grained

cannot be seen with naked eye or lens

Clastic texture

cemented grains in a sedimentary rock/ cemented fossils

May cause mountains to form

convergent

May involve subduction

convergent

Movement at a convergent plate boundary

convergent

trench or collision

convergent

New crust created

divergent

Sedimentary Rocks

form at or near the surface of the Earth in two basic ways: When grains of preexisting rocks accumulate are buried and then are cemented together by minerals precipitating out of groundwater and when minerals precipitate out of water near the Earths surface either directly or through the life function of an organism, and either form a solid mass or are cemented together later.

Igneous rocks

form through the cooling and solidification of molten rock, which is created by the melting of preexisting rock in the mantle or lower crust.

Metamorphic rock

form when preexisting rocks are subjected to a physical and chemical conditions within the earth, such as the increase in pressure and temperature and or shearing at elevated temperature.

Course grained

grains are large enough so you can identify the minerals or grains present

metamorphic

has stripes, foliated, crystalline structure

fine grained

individual grains are to small to be seen with naked eye but can be seen with hand lens.

Digital Elevation model

is a digital model or 3d representation of a terrains surface, Shows topographic grain clearly. You can recognize the topography most easily.

Fracture

is the characteristic way a mineral breaks.

Latitude

measure east and west.

Hotspot plume

middle of active volcano and the volcano becoming active

Tectonic cycle

new oceanic lithosphere is created at the oceanic ridges, moves away from the ridges during seafloor spreading and returns to the mantle in subduction zones.

What do nested contour lines show?

peaks

Igneous

rock with holes, look like granite and be shiny, crystalline structure

sedimentary

sandy feel, clastic, grainy,

Convergent plate boundary

two plates move toward each other, and the oceanic lithosphere of one plate sinks into the mantle below the other in subduction zones.

verbal scale

Plate boundary
