Earth's Layers
Temperature/Density
100
This type of rock is created by sediments by the process of cementing and compaction.
What is sedimentary rocks?
100
A flat landform created from uplift..
What is a plateau?
100
This process is how magma changes into a igneous rock.
What is cooling?
100
This layer of the Earth is known as the center of the Earth. It contains nickel and iron.
What is the core?
100
The amount of stuff in a certain amount of space.
What is density?
200
Basalt is an example of this type of rock.
What is igneous rock?
200
The wearing away of soil and rock.
What is erosion?
200
Weathering and erosion create these.
What is sediments?
200
Brittle outer layer of the Earth
What is lithosphere?
200
Density is a huge factor for these currents.
What is convection currents?
300
Melted rock or metals.
What is molten?
300
Any process that moves the surface of Earth to a higher elevation.
What is uplift?
300
The series of processes that change one rock into another.
What is the rock cycle?
300
A layer of the Earth that is denser than the crust. It is divided into three layers
What is mantle?
300
Convection currents happen in these parts of the Earth?
What is crust and mantle?
400
Lowland between mountains/hills with a river or stream running along the bottom.
What is valley?
400
Metamorphic rocks are formed by this process.
What is heat and pressure?
400
A part of the mantle. It is made by rocks that have melted, so it moves. It is plastic, but mostly solid.
What is asthenosphere?
400
This causes density to rise.
What is cooling?
500
A National Park that features an active volcano.
What is Lassen Peak?
500
Magma cooling causes this type of rock.
What is igneous rock?
500
This how scientist are able to study the center of the Earth.
What is seismic waves?
500
This causes density to decrease.
What is heat?
