GEOSC 020 Study Guide - Final Guide: Mid-Ocean Ridge, Magma Chamber, Oceanic Crust
Document Summary
Note: the exam questions combine knowledge from the textbook and lecture. The relevant section of the textbook is noted in brackets. Core: outer core is molten while the inner core is solid. The relationship between crustal thickness and elevation the thicker the block, the higher the block. According to the rock cycle, sediment that is being transported by a river could become a metamorphic rock after: uplift and weathering melting and solidification deposition and burial solidification and uplift. Types of plate boundaries (3. 4-3. 7: divergent: two plates move apart relative to one another. In most cases, magma fills the space between the plates: convergent: two plates move toward one another. A typical result is that one plate slides under the other: transform: two plates move horizontally past one another. Where plate boundaries are located around the earth e. g. convergent, subduction zones around the pacific ocean (3. 4) Where is the oldest and youngest crust relative to a mid-ocean ridge (3. 5)
