5.7 Earth Matchup (faults and layers)
|
A | B |
Transform (sliding) boundary in California - cause of frequent earthquakes | San Andreas Fault,  |
Plates collide or press into each other causing ocean trenches | convergent plate boundary,  |
Earth's thin rocky outer layer | Earth's crust,  |
Plates spread apart- causes mid-ocean ridges as magma comes through the opening | divergent plate boundary,  |
Solid iron and nickel | Earth's inner core,  |
Thickest layer, just under the crust, made of rock (solid rock closer to the crust) | Earth's mantle,  |
Molten (melted) iron and nickel | Earth's outer core,  |
Plates slide against each other - often causes earthquakes | transform (sliding) boundaries,  |
Deepest parts of ocean- made when ocean plates collide. One plate slips under the other | ocean trench,  |
