Sedimentary rocks are made up of these
What are sediments?
The process that moves liquids and gases around of different temperatures and densities
What is Convection?
This type of energy is stored in a rock that is not moving
What is potential energy?
This process occurs when oceanic crust dives below continental crust
What is subduction?
Metamorphic rocks needs these two factors to form
Liquid rock (magma) is cooler near this region of the Earth
What is the Crust?
This type of energy is associated with a rock that is moving
What is kinetic energy?
Subduction zones occur at this type of plate boundary
What is a convergent plate boundary?
This process breaks all rocks down
What is weathering?
Liquid rock (magma) is hotter in this region of the Earth?
This type of energy is stored in a rock that is being stretched before an earthquake occurs
What is elastic potential energy?
Magma needs these three, very specific components to form
This process makes sedimentary rocks
What is lithification?
Convection is important because it moves these giant slabs of rock
What are Tectonic Plates?
This force creates thermal (heat) energy
What is Friction?
This type of crust provides magma with the water needed to form
What is oceanic crust?
What is melting and solidification?
This is the process of tectonic plates moving up and down due to different densities and gravitational pull
What is Isostasy?
This process DOES NOT occur if a rock is able to retain/return to its original shape after being stretched
What is plastic deformation?
What is the upper-mantle/asthenosphere?
