1. The following processes apply to what type of limit between tectonic plates?

a) New crust formation b) Sinking of a tectonic plate under a lighter plate c) Progressive separation of two plates d) Ocean ridges formation e) Movement of two plates without crust creation nor destruction f) Origin of mountain ranges, such as the Alps or the Pyrenees

g) Crust destruction h) Underwater volcanoes that might create volcanic islands i) Ocean formation

2. True or false? If false, correct the sentence and explain your correction. a) Volcanoes are openings of the lithosphere through which magma from the deep mesosphere and the nucleus comes to the surface b) The point where an earthquake is generated is called epicenter and is located approximately 80 km underground c) Magma without gases causes more explosive eruptions d) The volcanic cone is the opening through which the lava comes to the outside e) The Mercalli scale is used to measure the magnitude of an earthquake f) The volcanic vent is the conduct that connects the chamber with the crater

g) When there is a volcanic eruption under the sea, tsunamis are generated h) Earthquakes are not common on planet Earth, there is only one of two of them per year 3. Plutonic, volcanic or metamorphic rocks? a) Granite b) Need conditions of high pressure and high temperature c) Also called intrusive d) Basalt e) Are formed when magma goes out to the surface f) Marble

g) Can form by the contact with hot magma or by the pressure exerted on a convergent limit h) Pyroclastic rocks is a type of them i) j) Some cool down so quickly that they are porous (contain many little holes) Also called extrusive

k) Are formed when the magma gets trapped between rocks underground and cools down slowly l) During the process of formation the rock is solid but behaves in a plastic way

m) They present crystals n) Pumicite 4. Make four drawings, one for each type of boundary (remember that in convergent boundaries there are three different situations). Include the convection currents of the mesosphere and name all the parts in each drawing. Use colors and use half a page for each drawing. 5. Differences between the two big groups of volcanoes.
