Lithosphere and Tectonic Activity Revision

Question

The asthenosphere is:

Answer 1

A layer of partially molten material within the upper part of the mantle

Answer 2

The section of the Earth's crust upon which contact is established between the partially molten mantle and the tectonic plates

Answer 3

An area within the mantle in which the lithospheric plates are sitting, made up of solid rock

Answer 4

Study of landforms and their origin and evolution

Answer 5

Study of distribution and form of rocks and minerals inside the Earth's crust

Answer 6

Study of landforms and their distribution and form

Answer 7

Study of the origin and evolution of rocks and minerals inside the Earth's crust

Answer 8

Study of how the lithosphere was created, and how it reacts to mankind

Answer 9

Mohorovic Discontinuity

Answer 10

Wegener Margin

Answer 11

Wegener Discontinuity

Answer 12

Mohorovic Margin

Answer 13

Convection currents in the mantle push the plates apart at diverging boundaries

Answer 14

Convection currents in the mantle carry the plates in directions from within the asthenosphere

Answer 15

Gravity pulls the plates towards the lowest point of altitude - the oceans - where they subduct or diverge and repeat the process

Answer 16

Convection currents in the mantle pull plates into subduction margins where displacement forces the other plates to move in the direction

Answer 17

Diverging - Constructive

Answer 18

Converging - Destructive

Answer 19

Transformative - Conservative

Answer 20

Converging - Collision

Answer 23

Subduction, as one plate pushes the other into the mantle

Answer 24

Earthquakes as a single fault line releases the build-up of pressure along the plate

Answer 25

Mid-ocean ridges as new crust is formed from solidified molten material

Answer 26

Mountain ranges as plates are pushed together, forcing crust upwards

Answer 27

Subduction, as one plate pushes the denser plate into the mantle

Answer 28

Earthquakes as a single fault line releases the build-up of pressure along the plate

Answer 29

Mid-ocean ridges as new crust is formed from solidified molten material

Answer 30

Mountain ranges as plates are pushed together, forcing crust upwards

Answer 31

Subduction, as one plate pushes the denser plate into the mantle

Answer 32

Earthquakes as a single fault line releases the build-up of pressure along the plate

Answer 33
