Theory of Plate Tectonics - ANSWER A theory stating that Earth's lithosphere is broken into huge plates that move and change in size over time - explains the process of continental drift - theory is a fusion on the theories of continental drift and seafloor spreading - continents are not floating on the ocean, rather they are rooted What are the 10 major plates of the Earth's lithosphere? - ANSWER African, Antarctic, Australian, Eurasian, North American, South American, Pacific, Cocos, N...

apes unit 4 frq with 100% correct solutions 2024/2025describe what happens when two tectonic plates collide in a subduction zone - correct answer in a subduction zone, one plate is pushed beneath the other. a trench may be formed at the subduction zone. explain how subduction leads to volcanic activity - correct answer The plate closer to the core melts and becomes magma, which pushes towards the surface. When the magma reaches the surface, it becomes lava and releases through the crust cau...

How are igneous rocks formed? A. In gas B. By erosion C. From a molten state D. By heat and pressure - C. From a molten state How can crustal diamonds form? A. Oceanic subduction B. Volcanic eruptions C. Meteorite impacts D. Radiation decay - C. Meteorite impacts How does metasomatism affect lithospheric diamond formation? A. Supplies heat B. Transports rock C. Removes oxygen D. Provides hydrogen - C. Removes oxygen What are the rock types where most diamonds form? A. Basaltic cr...

physical weathering - correct answerdisintegration to smaller pieces no chemical transformation increase in surface area ex. hammer rock wedging!!! water seeps through snd expands when frozen chemical weathering - correct answerchemical transformation of minerals to secondary minerals that are weaker in structure ex. rust (oxidation) biological weathering - correct answerplants and animals, microbes to transform rocks -breakdown into dirt and usable materials basaltic magma - corre...

If a magma chamber undergoes fractional crystallization during cooling, how will the remaining magma differ from the parent magma? - correct answer It will be more felsic What type of magma can be produced when upper-mantle peridotite undergoes decompression along mid-ocean ridges? - correct answer basaltic Mineral - correct answer -Naturally ocurring -inorganic element or compound -has an orderly internl structure and characteristic chemical composition, crystal form, and physical prope...

What is Geology "Earth knowledge" -Scientific study of our planet -Earth's history -Earth's composition -Earth's internal structure -Earth's surface features Sustainable Development Earth is a "spaceship" with limited resources and a delicate life-support system. "Sustainable Development": Current generation must ensure hospitable planet for future generations. The Roles of Geologists -Find and manage NATURAL RESOURCES -Understand Earth processes well enough to ...

APES Unit 4 Vocab fully solved 2024 passedCore - correct answer The innermost zone of Earth's interior, composed mostly of iron and nickel. It includes a liquid outer layer and a solid inner layer. Mantle - correct answer The layer of Earth above the core, containing magma. Magma - correct answer Molten rock. Asthenosphere - correct answer The layer of Earth located in the outer part of the mantle, composed of semi-molten rock. Lithosphere - correct answer The outermost layer o...
