KEY VOCABULARY |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| Destructive\u003Cbr>plate margin | Tectonic plate margin where two plates are converging and oceanic plate is subducted – there could be violent earthquakes and explosive volcanoes |\n| Conservative\u003Cbr>plate margin | Two plates sliding alongside eachother, in the same or different directions |\n| Constructive\u003Cbr>(transform)\u003Cbr>plate margin | Tectonic plate margin where rising magma adds new material to plates that are diverging or moving apart |\n| Continental\u003Cbr>crust | The low density, thick outer layer of Earth which forms our continents |\n| Oceanic crust | The dense, thin outer layer of Earth that lies underneath the ocean |\n| Plate margin | The border between two tectonic plates |\n| Tectonic plate | Section of the Earth’s crust about 100km thick |\n| Composite\u003Cbr>volcanoes | Steep-sided volcanoes found at constructive plate margins |\n| Shield volcano | broad, flat volcano with nonviolent eruptions formed at constructive margins and at ‘hotspots’ |\n\n\n| 2. STRUCTURE OF THE EARTH |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 1.Outer core – made of liquid nickel and iron\u003Cbr>2. Inner core – solid centre of the earth that reach 6000˚C\u003Cbr>3. Mantle – contains magma that moves in currents\u003Cbr>4. Crust – think layer of solid rock\u003Cbr>Magma is molten rock which Is called Lava once is has reached the surface of land. |  | |\n| 3. PLATE TECTONICS |  |  |\n| • Convergent plate boundary – where two plate collide, and fold mountains are formed\u003Cbr>• Constructive plate boundary – when two plates separate, and volcanic islands are formed. An example is the Hawaiian islands.\u003Cbr>• Conservative plate boundary – where two plates slip past each other and earthquakes occur. An example is San Andreas fault line.\u003Cbr>• Destructive—Where an oceanic and continental crust collide and forma subduction zone leading to volcanoes being formed. |  |  |\n| | |  |\n\n\n| 4. IMPACTS OF PLATE TEC- |\n| --- |\n| Volcanic Eruptions—These can be created when plate collide and separate\u003Cbr>•Lava comes up the vent and out of the crater\u003Cbr>•A shield volcano is much flatter and less explosive whereas Shield volcanoes have much steeper sides and thicker (more viscous) lava.\u003Cbr>Earthquakes—Occurs when two plate slip past each other. Tremors radiate from the point of impact . The strength of them are measured using the Richter scale—a scientific scale from 1-10 used to measure the\u003Cbr>magnitude of an earthquake\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Tsunamis—A tsunami is caused by an underwater earthquake.•The focus is underwater and causes huge waves to come ashore. Waves can travel at up to 500 miles per hour.\u003Cbr>•Tsunami can be predicted when the sea retracts (pulls back) |\n\n| \u003Cbr>YEAR 9 GEOGRAPHY-TECTONICS |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 5.
