Planets
First planet
Mercury, hot and cold, has crust, mantle, and core, thin atmosphere.
Crust
Solid rock surface of the earth
New moon
Moon is dark because it is closest to the sun.
Sedimentary rock
Created by compacted and cemented sediment.
Latitude
A line around the earth, how far north or south something is.
Fourth planet
Mars, cold, only crust, thin atmosphere.
Mantle
Full moon
Moon is totally bright because it is farthest from the sun.
Created by cooled magma or lava.
Longitude
A line from pole to pole, how far east or west something is.
Sixth planet
Saturn, gas only, has rings.
Tectonic plate
Chunks of crust that drift around the planet, causing geology.
Waxing
Moon is getting brighter.
Metamorphic rock
Created by heat and pressure deep in the crust.
Name two renewable resources and why
Sun, water, air, plants and animals, geothermal.
Fifth planet
Jupiter, gas only, biggest planet, has rings.
Core
Metal center of the earth, liquid outside and solid inside.
Waning
Weathering
Creates sediment from exposed rocks.
Oil and gas, metals and minerals.
Eighth planet
Neptune, icy and cold, only crust, has atmosphere.
Troposphere
Lowest atmosphere, has weather, 0-8 miles.
Gibbous
Moon is mostly full.
Subduction
When tectonic plates at a convergent boundary collide and one goes down.
Explain the water cycle
Water evaporates from the surface into the air, cools and condenses into clouds, and then falls down as rain.
