earth's external heats engine drives what geologic process - correct answer ✔✔erosion
which fault accommodates extension of the earth's crust - correct answer ✔✔normal fault
mechanism for continental drift - correct answer ✔✔mantle convection
what type of plate boundary occurs at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge - correct answer ✔✔divergent
the himalayan mountains occur at which type of plate boundary - correct answer ✔✔divergent
what is strain the result of - correct answer ✔✔some geologic stress
the lithosphere is made up of which compositional sections of the earth - correct answer
✔✔crust and mantle
what is the trebling or shaking of the ground caused by the sudden release of energy stored in
rocks beneath the Earth's surface - correct answer ✔✔earthquake
what can both P waves and S waves pass through - correct answer ✔✔solid rock
which type of waves tend to be incredibly destructive because they produce much ground
movement and take a long time to pass - correct answer ✔✔rayleigh
, what is the first wave to arrive at a recording station following an earthquake - correct answer
✔✔P wave
what is the region of magnetic forces that surround the earth called - correct answer
✔✔magnetic field
what boundary separates the crust from the mantle - correct answer ✔✔the moho
discontinuity
the continental crust is more ____ than the oceanic crust - correct answer ✔✔thicker
what indicates that the core of the earth is the liquid - correct answer ✔✔the S-wave shadow
zone
the boundary between the core and the mantle is marked by great changes in - correct answer
✔✔seismic velocity, density, and temperature
the rock for tens of millions of years tell us what about the earths magnetic field - correct
answer ✔✔that it reverses polarity about every 200,000 years
what are the major mechanism the drive geology - correct answer ✔✔external and internal
heat engines
what is the external heat engine - correct answer ✔✔the engine that gets its energy from the
sun and plays a major role in the hydrologic cycle and the erosion of rocks
what is the internal heat engine - correct answer ✔✔the convection and conduction, heat and
rock moving from hot to cold. plays a major role tectonic activity
