SCIENCE REVIEWER CRUST LEHMANN DISCONTINUITY outermost layer of Earth where life located between the liquid outer core and exist the solid inner core CONTINENTAL CRUST SEISMIC WAVES crust that makes up the continents wave of acoustic energy that travels through the Earth OCEANIC CRUST crust that underlies the ocean BODY WAVES floor wave that travels through the inner layers of the Earth LITHOSPHERE (location of plates) rigid layer that can break under SURFACE WAVES stress travel only on the surface ASTHENOSPHERE ALFRED WEGENER can be deformed and reshape as a proposed the continental drift theory in 1912 result of the hot, molten mantle HARRY HESS CONVECTION CURRENT proposed the seafloor spreading theory in 1960s travelling upward from the lower PLATE TECTONIC THEORY mantle to the cooler upper mantle incorporates the continental drift theory and MANTLE seafloor spreading theory semisolid, rocky and very hot layer EARTHQUAKES that makes up 80% of Earth. shaking of the ground as a result of the OUTER CORE interaction of plates liquid layer of the Earth OROGENIC BELT INNER CORE region of deformed rocks composed of mostly solid iron SHEAR ZONE PANGAEA area that is formed in between two sliding plates supercontinent where present OROGENESIS continents came from process of forming mountains and PANTHALASSA (paleo-pacific) mountain ranges vast sea or superocean PACIFIC RING OF FIRE MOHOROVICIC DISCONTINUITY also known as Circum-Pacific Belt interface between the crust and the PHILVOCS upper mantle Philippine Institute of Volcanology GUTENBERG DISCONTINUITY and Seismology boundary between the lower mantle and outer core SCIENCE REVIEWER FOCUS (hypocenter) CONVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARY point of origin of an earthquake Oceanic - Oceanic EPICENTER Oceanic - Continental point directly above the focus Continental - Continental FAULTS Convergence cracks on Earth's crust SUPERCONTINENTS INTENSITY Pangaea strength of shaking of an Laurasia earthquake Gondwana MAGNITUDE PRIMARY PLATE (memo 6) amount of energy released during Eurasian Plate an Earthquake.

SECONDARY WAVES (S Waves) CONTINENTAL CRUST do not travel through liquids composed of light granitic rocks - aluminum silicates travels more slowly than P waves OCEANIC CRUST TRANSFORM PLATE BOUNDARY composed of dense basaltic rocks - Ridge - Ridge magnesium silicates Ridge - Trench AQUIFER Trench - Trench Transform Fault porous underground layer - storage DRIVING FORCES of groundwater Mantle Convection RUNOFF Slab Pull water that move across the surface of Slab Suction the land and enters the bodies of water Ridge Push 25% RESISTING FORCES estimated by WHO - no access to safe drinking water Slab Resistance Collisional Resistance OUTER CORE location of magnetic field Transform Fault Resistance Drag Force ESTUARIES NOTE: ecosystem where freshwater or Study and memorize the location of each plates. saltwater and land meet POTABLE WATER unpolluted water that is suitable for drinking TRANSPIRATION where plants lose water vapor through their leaves EVAPORATION a vaporization that occurs on the surface of liquid gas phase Good luck my amazing students! Study Smart!
