An undersea volcanic mountain found on the deep ocean basin

The magma that reaches the surface of the earth

A stream of water that flows deep beneath the ocean's surface

The way Earth's rotation affects wind and ocean currents

A periodic change in oceanic and atmospheric conditions, causing unusually warm surface water

Igneous rock that cools slowly and has large crystals

Igneous rock that cools quickly and has small crystals

The movement of cold, deep ocean water to the ocean's surface

This type of rock is formed as a result of heat and pressure

This type of rock is formed as a result of cooling lava

This type of rock is formed when wind and water break down other rock types

Examples of this type of rock include granite, basalt, and obsidian

Examples of this type of rock include sandstone, shale, and limestone

Examples of this type of rock include marble, gneiss, and slate

When a dense oceanic plate meets a less dense continental plate at a convergent boundary, the denser plate is forced down into the earth's hot mantle.

New ocean crust is formed in another part of the ocean where plates diverge. The divergence, or separation, of two plates leaves a gap. Magma rises up, fills in the opening, and hardens. What ocean floor feature forms?

You used playdough to form a representation of alternating stripes on the ocean floor. What vocabulary word describes the reason why the molecules in these bands of rock point in the opposite directions?

The current theory that describes how Earth's crust is broken into plates that float on the earth's mantle layer is call the

Two examples of weather conditions caused by El Nino are

Rock containing molecules that always orient themselves toward magnetic north
