New cards
57

mirage formation

on a really hot day, air splits into layers by heat, with hot air closer to the ground. light refracts more and more at each hotter layer and eventually doesnt touch the ground and travels in a u shape until it hits our eyes. our eyes cant comprehend light bending so we see an image on the ground instead of the ground.

New cards
73

continental drift hypothesis

theory proposed by alfred wegener that continents used to be connected because they were similar shapes, had similar fossils (ie fern fossils in all southern continents), similar mountains, and glacial striations/fossilized forests

New cards
74

alfred wegener

man who proposed continental drift hypothesis

New cards
75

pangaea

the supercontinent from 200 million years ago when all continents were connected

New cards
76

fixism

the theory that continents had always been where they were, widely regarded as fact until continental drift hypothesis

New cards
77

crust of earth

thin layer of solid rock surrounding the earth, has oceanic crust (made of basalt) and continental crust (made of granite). sometimes contains lithosphere

New cards
78

upper mantle

layer just below crust, very top of the upper mantle is solid and below is softer rock that can flow. contains lithosphere and asthenosphere

New cards
79

lower mantle

below upper mantle, made of denser rock

New cards
80

outer core

below lower mantle, made of iron and nickel, is liquid

New cards
81

inner core

center of the earth, below outer core, is made of iron and some nickel, temp >5000 degrees and is solid from the high pressure of above layers

New cards
82

mid ocean ridges

mountain ridges along the ocean floor, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur

New cards
83

trenches

long, narrow valleys (depressions) in the ocean floor, can be thousands of km long and deep

New cards
84

sea floor spreading

the process of magma rising to the surface of ridges and forming new ocean crust. magma emerges in the center and pushes older crust to the sides and below other plates. explained how continents were able to move, because the rock and plates were moving beneath them.

New cards
85

subduction

when denser crust goes below the less dense crust

New cards
86

theory of plate tectonics

earths crust is made of tectonic plates that float ont the fluid rock in the mantle. the plates move very slowly. it explains seafloor spreading/continental drift, earthquakes, volcanoes, and formations of mountains.

New cards
87

lithosphere

outer layer of solid rock and plates composed of crust and part of the upper mantle, when plates interact it causes geological activity

New cards
88

asthenosphere

the soft, flowy part of the upper mantle that is hot and behaves like plastic. this enables plates to move. tectonic plates float on top of it.

New cards
89

divergent plate boundaries

when tectonic plates separate and create new oceanic crust; can also occur in the middle of continents (continental rifting)

New cards
90

convergent plate boundaries

when two plates collide, subduction occurs and causes trenches, often induces earthquakes

New cards
91

oceanic-continental plate convergence

oceanic plate goes beneath continental plate; may form mountains or volcanoes (from the release of pressure from the upper mantle)

New cards
92

oceanic-oceanic plate convergence

subduction with ocean crust occurs, may form volcanic island arc and trenches

New cards
93

volcanic island arc

a belt of volcanoes that occur from plate oceanic plate convergence

New cards
94

continental-continental plate convergence

no subduction occurs, one plate is shoved beneath the edge of the other and creates mountain ranges as the crust goes upwards

New cards
95

transform plate boundaries

when two plates slide past each other; earthquakes are common

New cards
96

mantle convection

warmer, less dense material in the mantle rises as cooler, more dense material sinks; causes currents in the mantle and drags plates with it

<p>warmer, less dense material in the mantle rises as cooler, more dense material sinks; causes currents in the mantle and drags plates with it</p>
New cards
97

ridge push

new material pushes older material aside, causing tectonic plates to move apart (ex. magma hardening in the crust causing plates to move), occurs at diverging plate boundaries; includes seafloor spreading, continental rifting, and new rock formations

New cards
98

slab pull

movement of plates downwards, occurs at converging plate boundaries where subduction may occur; responsible for mountains, volcanoes, earthquakes, and trenches

New cards
99

earthquakes

a natural movement or vibration when earth’s crust shifts. when pressure is applied on a plate too quicky or strongly, the rock will break in the form of an earthquake

New cards
100

focus

the point where the movement in the rock during an earthquake occurs
