Rocks on the Move
The case where Rocks are broken down in to sediments.
What is weathering?
This is the thin, rocky outer layer of Earth where we live.
What is the crust?
As you go deeper into Earth, this force increases and squeezes rock tightly.
What is pressure?
This happens when two continental plates collide and push land upward.
What are mountains forming?
This system includes your brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
What is the nervous system?
A mineral must be solid, natural, nonliving, and have a definite chemical makeup. This word describes the repeating shape of its particles.
What is a crystal?
Minerals are made of these nonliving building blocks.
What are elements?
This is the framework of bones that supports and protects your body.
What is the skeleton
This system protects the body from germs and helps fight infections.
What is the immune system
This is the basic unit of structure and function in all living things.
What is a cell?
After sediment is moved from one location to another, it is left at its final location.
What is Deposition?
This layer is made of hot, solid rock that flows slowly like thick oatmeal.
What is the mantle?
These waves from earthquakes help scientists learn about Earth’s interior.
What are seismic waves?
his theory explains that Earth’s crust is broken into moving pieces.
What is plate tectonics ?
These organs in your chest help you breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide.
What are the lungs
This property tells how easily a mineral can be scratched.
What is hardness?
Calcite is always made of calcium, carbon, and this element.
What is oxygen?
his bone protects your brain.
What is the skull?
What is the immune system.
What is the endocrine system?
These organisms are made of only one cell.
What are unicellular organisms?
A type of Weathering where ice wedging occurs in cracks of rock.
What is Mechanical Weathering?
Earth’s magnetic field is created by movement in this liquid layer.
What is the outer core?
The core is mostly made of these two metals.
What are iron and nickel?
This type of boundary is where two plates move away from each other.
What is a divergent boundary?
This system breaks down food so your body can use nutrients for energy.
What is the digestive system?
This property describes how light reflects off a mineral’s surface (metallic, earthy, glassy).
What is luster?
his tool is used to test streak.
What is a streak plate?
These tiny blood vessels allow oxygen and nutrients to pass into cells.
What are capillaries?
his system gives your body shape and helps you move.
What is the muscular system?
This organelle controls the cell and contains DNA.
What is the nucleus?
Tiny pieces of sand, silt and rock.
What is Sediment?
This is the reason scientists cannot drill all the way to the mantle.
What is extreme heat and pressure ?
The inner core stays solid because of this.
What is extreme pressure?
This famous transform boundary in California causes many earthquakes.
What is the San Andreas Fault?
These attach bones to bones and help keep joints stable.
What are ligaments
This mineral is always made of carbon and is the hardest mineral on Earth.
What is diamond?
This property describes how a mineral breaks unevenly or jaggedly.
What is fracture?
These blood vessels carry blood back to the heart.
What are veins?
This system provides the body structure and Framework.
What is the Skeletal system?
This jelly-like substance fills the cell and holds organelles in place.
What is cytoplasm?
The Process of sediment moving from one location to another.
What is Erosion?
his layer is solid because of extreme pressure, even though it is extremely hot.
What is the inner core?
This is the thickest layer of Earth.
What is the mantle
The point on Earth's surface directly over the focus of an Earthquake.
What is epicenter?
These tube-like vessels carry blood away from the heart.
What are arteries?
This property describes how a mineral breaks into smooth, flat sheets—unlike fracture, which is jagged.
What is cleavage?
This mineral is used in glass-making and is one of the most common minerals on Earth.
What is quartz?
This organ removes water from undigested food and forms waste.
What is the large intestine
This liquid tissue carries oxygen, nutrients, and waste through your body.
What is blood?
Plant cells have these green organelles that help them make food using sunlight.
What are chloroplasts?
