Tectonic forces - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Which of the following is an exogenic process? Volcanism Weathering Earthquakes Flows of heat and materials in the mantle - Weathering Which of the following is an endogenic process? Weathering Glacial erosion Volcanism Stream deposition - Volcanism Uniformitarianism assumes that mountains, plains, and canyons formed by catastrophic events. catastrophic episodes have regularly occurred. Earth is quite young and is shaped by dramatic events. the same physical processes we see today ...

The study of energy and forces of matter Physics The study of the properties of matter and how matter changes; atoms, molecules and their interactions to form substances Chemistry the study of the moon, stars, and other objects in space astronomy The scientific study of earth and the universe around it including structure, materials and processes Earth Science The experimental factor that is manipulated; the variable whose effect is being studied. independent var...

Plate tectonics theory that explains the: - movement of the continents - changes in Earth's crust caused by internal forces Plates rigid blocks of crust and upper mantle - move along the hot upper mantle - make up the lithosphere Brainpower 0:05 / 0:15 Divergence - 2 plates move away from each other - hot mantle rock rises - creates new sea floor - creates new oceanic crust (2-10 cm per yr) -Mid-Atlantic Convergence - crust collides with another oceanic plat...

Tectonic Plate Movement Lithosphere- Crusts and Top layer of mantle, it is divided into shifting tectonic plates. Effects- Earthquakes, Mountains, Volcanos, Rift Valleys, Seafloor Spreading. Other Forces affecting Earth's Surface - Weathering - Rocks broken up by wind, ice, water, and organisms. Erosion - Rocks and particles are broken down and carried to a new location. Hydrosphere Made of all water on earth's surface. 70% of Earth's surface is water Gravitational pull cause...
