Term1/15
What mechanical layer lies below the lithosphere
Definition1/15

asthenosphere

Term1/15
What happens during subduction
Definition1/15

Dense oceanic crust slides under less dense continental crust

Term1/15
A fault generally occurs at a transform boundary
Definition1/15

A strike-slip fault generally occurs at a transform boundary

Term1/15
What keeps the inner core in a solid state
Definition1/15

high pressure

Term1/15
What causes the pressure that allows diamonds to form in the mantle
Definition1/15

The weight of the rocks in the crust and upper mantle results in the pressure that allows diamonds to form.

Term1/15
When a seismic wave crosses a boundary it will change directions in the process of
Definition1/15

refraction

Term1/15
Why can diamonds form in the mantle
Definition1/15

The weight of the rocks above the mantle results in high pressure.
Diamonds need high temperatures and pressure to form from carbon. Diamonds form in the mantle in certain zones where conditions are right for them to do so.

There just happens to be the right critical temperature-pressure-mineral environment in the mantle in certain zones for their formation.

Term1/15
What factor is responsible for keeping the inner core in a solid state
Definition1/15

high presure and heat

Term1/15
What is a true statement about the magnetic field between two magnets
Definition1/15

The south pole of one magnet is attracted to the north pole of the other magnet.

Term1/15
What is true about compasses
Definition1/15

compass magnets can be deflected by earths magnetic field or other permanent magnets

Term1/15
Most deformable layer of the Earth
Definition1/15

Term1/15
The continental crust is what
Definition1/15

The continental crust is up to 70 km thick.

Term1/15
Which Match each moon and planet to the most accurate characteristic
Definition1/15
