Sims Test: Earthquakes...
Which plate movement could make a mountain
convergence,
three main plate movements
convergence, divergence, and transform.
What happens to the strength of the waves as they move out?
decreases
Describe how earthquakes affect mankind.
destroy our creations; kill people.
Which plate movement creates a mid-ocean ridge
divergent
earthquake forms
fault or slip between two plates which cause it to release energy.
Explain why there are more earthquake fatalities in poor countries than in rich Countries.
not enough material, or don't have the right material
outer core
solid metal
crust
solid rock, and it is thin. (dirt and rock)
pressure as you go in the Earth?
the pressure increases
Where do most earthquakes occur?
On or the side of a mountain.
Where do most earthquakes and volcanoes occur on Earth?
On earth's crust; on the boundaries.
temperature inside the Earth
The temperature starts to rise
convection current
transfer heat from one place to another;magma circulates in the mantle , and causes the plates to move in multiple directions.
convergence
two plates bump into or connect to each other.
transform boundary
two plates rub against each other.
What causes the most deaths in an earthquake?
Collapsing buildings
three layers of the Earth
Crust, mantle,core
What does an earthquake realease when it forms?
Energy
chicken egg.
The crust is thin, the mantle is the egg white and the yolk is the core
crustal plate
a rigid layer of the Earth's crust that is believed to drift slowly.
What causes the temperature to be what it is at the center of Earth?
gravity and pressure
How do convection currents affect the crust
heats it up
inner core
liquid metal
core
made ot of liquid metal ,and solid metal.(metal)
richter scale
measure how big an earthquake is
mantle
melted rock.(liquid rock)
Where does the force come from to break huge slabs of rocks?
movement of the earth's plates.
earthquake waves travel...
outward and in all directions.
divergence
plates separate.
Why can we not drill to the center of the Earth
we can't bear that amount of heat.
focus
where an earthquake happens underneath the earth.
epicenter
where the earthquake happens on the surface.
