Question

part b
matching vocabulary
match each term to the correct definition. connect them with a line.
1 mantle a. a boundary where plates slide past one another
2 tensional stress b. the center of earth, made mostly of iron and nickel
3 crust c. stress that pulls rocks apart
4 divergent boundary d. the outer layer of earth where we live
5 transform boundary e. a boundary where plates move away from each other
6 tectonic plate f. a boundary where plates move toward each other
7 shear stress g. stress that pushes rocks together
8 convergent boundary h. large pieces of earth’s crust that move slowly
9 core i. stress that causes rocks to slide past each other
10 compressional stress j. the hot layer beneath the crust that slowly moves

Explanation:

To solve this matching vocabulary problem, we analyze each term and its corresponding definition based on geological knowledge:

1. Mantle: The hot layer beneath the crust that slowly moves (matches J).
2. Tensional stress: Stress that pulls rocks apart (matches C).
3. Crust: The outer layer of Earth where we live (matches D).
4. Divergent boundary: A boundary where plates move away from each other (matches E).
5. Transform boundary: A boundary where plates slide past one another (matches A).
6. Tectonic plate: Large pieces of Earth’s crust that move slowly (matches H).
7. Shear stress: Stress that causes rocks to slide past each other (matches I).
8. Convergent boundary: A boundary where plates move toward each other (matches F).
9. Core: The center of Earth, made mostly of iron and nickel (matches B).
10. Compressional stress: Stress that pushes rocks together (matches G).

Answer:

1. Mantle - J
2. Tensional stress - C
3. Crust - D
4. Divergent boundary - E
5. Transform boundary - A
6. Tectonic plate - H
7. Shear stress - I
8. Convergent boundary - F
9. Core - B
10. Compressional stress - G
