37
The 3 INTERFACES MARK THE BOUNDARIES BETWEEN LAYERS:
The Mohorovicic Discontinuity The Gutenburg Discontinuity The Lehman Discontinuity
38
It marks the boundary between the lower mantle and the outer core.
The Gutenburg Discontinuity
39
It is the interface between the crust and the upper mantle.
The Mohorovicic Discontinuity
40
It is located between the liquid outer core and solid inner core.
The Lehman Discontinuity
41
These features can be sources of different minerals or can used for agricultural purposes. For instance, we have the majestic and renowned What Volcano?
Mayon Volcano
42
found in the northeast coast of Luzon, we have thefound in the northeast coast of Luzon, we have the__________ mountain range which is a home to many endemic species of flora and fauna.
Sierra Madre
43
A theory that suggests that Earth's Crust is made up of plates that interact in various ways, thus producing earthquakes, mountains, volcanoes, and other geologic features.
PLATE TECTONICS
44
TRUE OR FALSE? iT IS SUGGEST THAT PLATES ARE MOVING AND LEAD TO THE CHANGE IN THE SURFACE
TRUEE
45
A German Meteorologist, proposed a theory "The Continental Drift" that about 200 million years ago, the continents were once one large landmass.
ALFRED WEGENER (1912)
46
What did Alfred Wegener called this landmass?
Pangaea
47
"Pangaea' a Greek word means?
“All Earth”.
48
A theory that states that the Continents are moving
Continental Drift Theory
49
Was Wegener Theory that the continents were once joined together was accepted?
NO (It was not accepted and he was not able to explain how this drifting took place)
50
During WHAT YEAR, new techniques and modern gadgets enabled scientists to make better observations and gather new information about the ocean floor.

54
It is a hot, less dense materials below the Earth's crust rises towards the surface at the mid-ocean ridge.

56
PLATE BOUNDARIES IS ALSO KNOWN AS?
ZONE OF INTERACTION
57
THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE -SUBDUCTION ZONE
Convergent BOUNDARY
58

DIVERGENT BOUNDARY
66
It is CONSERVATIVE
TRANSFORM FAULT BOUNDARY
67
it produces RIFTS
DIVERGENT BOUNDARY
68
It creates faults and fracture zones
TRANSFORM FAULT BOUNDARY
69
The movement of plates is influenced by two types of forces
Driving forces Resisting forces
70
Push tectonic plates forward or toward one another or pull them apart
Driving Forces
71
Core rising toward the mantle
Mantle Convection
72
drive the plates away from one another, this heat dissipates and creates a current due to the difference in temperature.
Convection Current
73
-OPPOSITE OF MANTLE DRAG -takes place when a subducting slab sinks into the hot mantle because of a difference in temperature - The rest of the plate to which the slab is attached to is pulled in as well.
Slab pull
74
occurs two colliding plates, one subducting underneath the other, whereby convection currents in the upper mantle suck both plates down.
Slab suction
75
when the lithosphere is pushed up by the asthenosphere because of convection currents from the mantle. Gravity pushes the plate down the ridge and a new crust is formed.
Ridge Push
76
Act against the driving forces of plate tectonics
Resisting forces
77
FORCE that resists all the forces associated with plate movement in subduction zones. - Plates collide of a plate boundary
SLAB RESISTANCE
78
occurs when a heavy plate is pulled into the mantle but resists subduction because of friction.
Collisional Resistance
79
-This force opposes the slab pull
Collisional Resistance
80
is the frictional force due to the opposing MOVEMENT OF PLATES MOVING PAST ONE ANOTHER BETWEEN TWO SPREADING CENTERS. -"ZONE OF ATTRACTION"
Transform fault resistance
81
Resist movement of lithospheric or in atmospheric plates
drag force
82
WHAT ARE THE 4 DRIVING FORCES?
Mantle convection Slab pull slab suction Ridge push
83
WHAT ARE THE 4 RESISTING FORCES?
slab resistance collisional resistance transform fault resistance drag force
