Praxis 5005 science latest 2023 graded A Plate tectonics Theory that explains the movement of the continents and changes in the crust caused by internal forces Plates Blocks of the crust and upper mantle Lithosphere Plates of Earth's crust and upper mantle that are broken into the nine large plates Divergence Creates new oceanic crust when hot mantle rises and separates Convergence Oceanic crust collides with another plate, making a trench and volcanic activity. OR 2 continent plates collide. Transform fault When two plates slide past one another Plate boundaries -spreading apart -pressing together -sliding past each other Rifting Boundaries form between spreading plates where the crust is forced apart in mid-ocean ridges. On land it creates ocean basins Subduction Ocean and continental crust collide and the ocean crust slides under into the mantle Dry Air components Nitrogen, Argon, Oxygen, and Carbon Dioxide Atmosphere layers Troposphere Stratosphere Mesosphere Thermosphere Troposphere Closest to surface Weather occurs here Temp decreases with increasing altitude Stratosphere Little water Ozone layer Mesophere Coldest layer Air temp decreases with increasing altitude Thermosphere Temp increases with increasing altitude Ionosphere Exosphere Ionosphere Gases that give off light and glow in the sjy Exosphere Layers held together by magnetic pull Composition of mountains Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary ricks Folded mountains Crust movements press horizontal layers of sedimentary rocks together from the sides, making wavelike folds Alps, Himalayas Fault-block mountains USA southwest Like an ice buckle Dome mountains Blister with magma underneath Upwarped mountains Black Hills of SD Broad arching of the crust Processes of forming mountains Folding or faulting
