How do earthquakes happen?
Where two plates meet, they move back and forth against each other, or slide underneath or on top of another plate.

What pulls all objects from higher places to lower places?
Gravity

Explain how plants can weather a rock.
A plant's roots can grow inside a rock, and as they grow, it can break the rock apart.
300
Name 3 of the 4 ways weathered materials are moved.
Water, ice, gravity, and wind

What causes a volcano to erupt?  


The gases produced by the magma can no longer be contained and need a way to escape.

300
An earthquake is an example of a _______ change on Earth's surface.
Fast
300
Name some of the examples of fast changes to Earth's surface that we've discussed.
Volcanoes, earthquakes, landslides, tornado, flood, hurricane, wildfire, blizzard.

How can ice cause physical weathering?
If water gets into the crack of a rock and then freezes, it will expand when it turns into ice. The expanding ice can cause the rock to break into smaller pieces.

What is the difference between weathering and erosion?


Weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces; erosion moves those pieces away.
400
What is the difference between an active and a dormant volcano?
Active volcano - erupts frequently Dormant volcano - a volcano that has not erupted for a long time

What can happen to Earth's surface after an earthquake?
