Q2 Major Assessment 2 Outline-Plate Boundaries, Pangea, Convection, Rock Cycle Vocabulary:Be able to identify the following terms when given the meaning. Transform plate boundary Divergent plate boundary Convergent plate boundary Subduction Pangea Seafloor Spreading Theory of Plate Tectonics Mid-Ocean Ridge Theory of Continental Drift Convection currents Ridge-push Slab-pull Igneous Rock Sedimentary Rock Metamorphic Rock Metamorphism Lithification Weathering Erosion Enty 8: Explain how density affects continental vs. oceanic convergent boundaries and oceanic vs. oceanic convergent boundaries Know when colliding plates form trenches Know when colliding plates form mountains Know which boundary type earthquakes occur at MOST OFTEN Know what causes a mid-ocean ridge to form Know what causes a rift valley to form Know what causes the ocean floor to separate and grow Know what happens at a transform boundary, a divergent boundary, a convergent boundary Be able to label all boundary types Entry 9: Label the 3 main seismic belts discussed in class Know which states in the U.S are most earthquake prone List 3 types of areas that earthquakes usually occur in or around Explain what causes patterns in seismic activity Know specific examples of mountain ranges, continental coasts, ocean basins and volcanic islands where earthquakes have occurred Entry 10: Know who proposed The Theory of Continental Drift Know what causes the continents to drift Know what causes sea floor spreading Know what Pangea was Explain some evidence scientists have to support the idea that the continents were once one large landmass Entry 11: Know what convection currents in the mantle are and what they do Know how convection currents in the mantle create ridges and trenches on the surface of the earth Entry 12: Understand how Igneous, Sedimentary, Metamorphic Rocks form Understand and label the process and steps in the rock cycle Understand how rocks can be grouped and sorted
