LABLE THE LAYERS
The top outer layer is where life on Earth exists.
What is the Crust
The number of continents on the Earth
What is the number Seven
Large pieces of the earth's crusts that are broken up.
What are PLATES?
The most common type of mountain- looks like a blanket.
What are folded Mountains?
Natural Compounds formed through Geologic process
What are Minerals?
This layer is the middle layer of the earth and is closer to the center of the earth is hotter and more fluid.
What is the lower mantle?
The huge areas of the Earth's crust that float on the mantle?
What are Tectonic plates?
Two plates are moving toward each other
Convergent boundaries
What is Convergent boundaries?
These mountains form when tectonic forces cause the rock layers to break, causing faults.
What are fault-block mountains?
These rocks are called fire rocks because they are formed from magma that has cooled down
What are Igneous rocks?
This layer has two parts also, but it is very hot and is a solid
What is the inner core?
Continental Drift
What is the idea that continents began moving apart millions of years ago?
2 plates are moving away from each other. Divergent Boundaries
What is Divergent Boundaries?
These mountains are formed when there is an eruption.
What are Volcanic Mountains?
These rocks start out as another kind of rock but get pushed down deep in the earth.
What are metamorphic rocks?
The hot part of the center of the earth BUT it is liquid.
What is the outer core?
The scientist's name for this one large land mass
What is a Pangaea?
Two plates slide past one another in opposite directions.
What is Transforming Boundaries?
The mountain where the magma never reaches the surface.
What is a Dome Mountain?
These rocks have been broken down by wind water and ice, and piled up pressed down.
What are sedimentary rocks?
This layer is also in the middle of the Earth and is closer to the crust is more rigid and loats on the lower mantle.
What is the upper mantle?
Alfred Wegener
Who is the scientist who proposed that the continents seemed to be shaped as if they had been one large mass in the past?
Two plates collide and one is forced below the other.
What is subduction?
4 types of mountains.
Folded, Fault-block, Volcanic and Dome.
The hardest and softest rocks from your experiment yesterday?
What is granite, sandstone and marble as hardest and schist and travertine as softest.
