1. The study of the earth's structural features and movements is known as ______. 2. The ______is the thin, solid, outer layer of the earth above the asthenosphere. 3. The theory of ______is the balance maintained by the earth’s crust as it “floats” on the lithosphere. Glaciers weight down the continents, but erosion and continent building help them rise. 4. The earth’s continental crust is mostly composed of ______and the ocean floors are primarily composed of ______. 5. The point in the earth where rock fractures, resulting in an earthquake is known as ______. 6. Point on the earth’s surface directly above the hypocenter is known as the ______. 7. ______is the resistance to flow of a liquid, such as magma. Magma composed of andesite and granite have a ______and are quite explosive, while magma composed of basalt has a ______and are quite runny. 8. ______is molten rock under the earth’s crust, from which igneous rocks are formed. ______is molten rock that reaches the earth’s surface from volcanic activity. 9. ______rock formed from the solidification (cooling) of magma below and above the earth’s surface. 10. This type of rock was changed by great heat and pressure from its original state ______. 11. The weathering and erosion of the earth’s crust is deposited in layers. The compaction and cementation of these layers results in this type of rock ______. 12. A very large ocean wave caused by an underwater earthquake or volcanic eruption is known as a ______. 13. The upper part of the mantle responsible for plate movement where convection currents are found is known as the ______. 14. ______rocks solidify underground, and ______igneous rocks solidify on the surface.

Part B-Matching (15 marks):

11. _____This plate boundary is where ocean and continental plates crash into each other forming volcanic mountain ranges 12. _____ This plate boundary is where two plates move away from each other 13. _____ This plate boundary two plates crash together forming fold mountain ranges 14. _____ Earth quakes are the predominate tectonic force at this plate boundary where two plates slide past each other 15. _____ a gently rising, smooth-shaped volcanic dome formed from low viscosity 16. _____ mount saint Helen’s is an example of this volcanic dome 17. _____ steep sided volcanic cone with a large summit crater, composed mainly of ash and rock spewed out from the vent 18. _____ a large crater formed by a volcanic explosion or by a collapse of a volcanic cone. 19. _____created where sections of the crust move apart and a block of land drops between two parallel faults to form a valley 20._____formed where two plates are compressed forcing a block of land upwards between two parallel faults. 21. _____A fault resulting from two diverging plates and downward movement of a block of land. 22. _____A fault resulting from two plates compressing and the upward movement of a bock of land 23. _____rock beds that have been folded or bent up upwards to form mountains or hill because of compressing 24._____rock beds that have been folded or bent downwards to form a valley because of compression 25._____a major zone of fractures in the earth’s crust extending down the California coastline
