Is when the plates move move away from each other in the oppisite direction
2 of 18
What does conservative plate boundries mean?
It is when plates slide past each other causing friction
3 of 18
What causes tectonic plates to move apart?
convection currents
4 of 18
How are volcanos formed at the destructive plate boundaries?
Plate move together, friction is formed, oceanic plates start to melt, magma rises up through the gaps and then erupts
5 of 18
How are volcanos formed at the constructive plate boundaries?
The plates move apart, volcanos are then formed as magma wells up to fill the gaps, eventually a new crust is formed
6 of 18
Name the 4 layers of the earth
Crust, mantle, outer core, inner core
7 of 18
Name 3 primary impacts that would happen if a volcano erupted
The hot gas and ash will destroy forests and woodland, people will die by poisonous gases, mudflows of ash
8 of 18
Name 3 secondary impacts that would happen if a volcano eruped
Ash will block rivers killing fish and will cause flooding this will kill crops, flooding will destroy roads an railways, sediment will be carred in the stream
9 of 18
How are earthquakes measured?
By seismometer. This detects vibrations and will be recorded on a seismograph
10 of 18
Where do earthquakes occur?
Along plate edges and along the edge of the oceanicand continental plates
11 of 18
What causes earthquakes?
When the plates slide past eack other and the underground rock snaps loose
12 of 18
Name 3 primary effects of a earthquake
Building collapsed, people die, landslides
13 of 18
Name 3 secondary effects of a earthquake
buliding destroyed by a fire, people are left homeless, sewage pipes are destroyed and spreads diseases
14 of 18
What are the 3 p's of an earthquake?
Predict, prepare and prevent
15 of 18
Name 3 examples how to prepare for an earthquake
have emergemcy first aid kits, have lots of tinned food and blankets
16 of 18
Name 3 examples how to predit for an earthquake
warning signals, unusual weather predictions and look for gas
17 of 18
Name 3 examples how to prevent a earthquake
Take tall heavy furnature down, hide under a table and if you are outside stay away from tall building
