4) What is the difference between these boundaries? Be able to identify them.
• Continental-continental convergence
• Oceanic-continental convergence
• Oceanic-oceanic convergence
• Subduction
• Divergence
• Convergence
5) The theory of plate tectonics explains the movement of the plates by convection cells in which layer?
6) Describe geologic features (mountain, trench, etc) that form at the three types of plate boundaries.
• Transform boundaries
• transform faults where plates move in opposite directions.
• hot spots
• Plate boundary zones
7) What kind of tool do scientists use to detect earthquakes?
8) What is the difference between seismic (S waves and P waves) and surface waves.
9) What is the difference between organic and inorganic chemicals? Which one CANNOT be considered a mineral?
10) What are the properties of minerals? Include definitions of streak, fracture, crystalline structure.
11) Describe and distinguish the three kinds of rocks, how are each of these formed? (metamorphic, sedimentary and igneous)
12) Igneous rock is differentiated by the rate at which it cooled. What types are there and how do you tell the difference?

As I'm doing a degree in this stuff I would tell you you'll learn a lot more if you find out for yourself in books. But, I'm feeling generous, I need to revise some of this stuff to jog my memory and I can be as lazy as anyone at times...
1) Plate Margins:
• Continental-continental convergence - two continental plates (those that make up land masses) that are converging (coming together) an example would be the Eurasian and African Plates (although the Mediterranean can confuse whether these are true continental plates..) They are generally constructive; building mountains (like the Sierra Nevada Range). Earthquake activity is also associated.
• Oceanic-continental convergence - One continental and one oceanic plate coming together - most commonly associated with destructive plate margins where the heavy oceanic plate subducts (sinks underneath) the lighter continental plate. Can cause volcanic activity, mountain building and earthquake activity.
