LAYERS OF EARTH

outermost layer

The ________ is made up of solid materials and materials.

Focus

________: the point within the earth where an earthquake rupture starts.

lithosphere

Is the movement of the ________ that is produced by the landforms on Earths surface.

Epicenter

________: the geographic point at the surface directly above the focus.

Mohorovicic

________ discontinuity: the boundary between the crust and mantle.

movement of materials

It is the ________ caused by the difference in their temperatures.

Constructive boundaries

It is also called "________ "because new material is added to the plates.

large system of underwater

It is a(n) ________ mountains that has a rift valley or a deep crack.

Sierra Madre

________: the longest mountain range in the Philippines.

subduction

Occurs due to ________, and the plate moves toward each other or is pushed under one another.

Active volcano

________: associated with seismic activity, presence of hot water spring, and changes of elevation of earths crater.

Alpine Himalayan Belt

________: it reveals the collision of the African Plate and Indo- Australian plate within the southern margin of the Eurasian Plate.

molten rocks

Asthenosphere: plates that lie at the top layer of partially ________.

Extinct volcano

________: not active or has not erupted for a long time.

Mountain belts

________: long chains of mountain ranges.

Mohorovicic discontinuity

the boundary between the crust and mantle

Inner core

solid

Outer core

liquid

The most active volcanoes are located in two volcanic belts

The alpine-Himalayan Belt and the Circum-Pacific Belt (ring of fire)

Ring of Fire

Outlines the major trenches in the Pacific Ocean, is an active volcanic and seismic zone

Alpine-Himalayan Belt

it reveals the collision of the African Plate and Indo-Australian plate within the southern margin of the Eurasian Plate

Active volcano

associated with seismic activity, presence of hot water spring, and changes of elevation of earths crater

Dormant volcano

has not erupted but may erupt based on seismic indications

Extinct volcano

not active or has not erupted for a long time

Seismic waves

body waves that radiate outward in all directions from the center to the earths interior

Focus

the point within the earth where an earthquake rupture starts

Epicenter

the geographic point at the surface directly above the focus

Mountain

a landform that rises at least 300m

Mountain range

chains of mountains

Himalayas

Mountain belts

long chains of mountain ranges

Andes mountains

Seven South American countries

Sierra Madre

the longest mountain range in the Philippines

Asthenosphere

plates that lie at the top layer of partially molten rocks

Plate boundaries

Border between two tectonic plates

Oceanic-Oceanic

subduction zone, deep ocean trenches, island arcs, and undersea volcanism

Continental-Continental

mountain ranges
