Spheres
the outermost layer of the Earth.
the crust
landforms created by lava
volcanoes
Huge pieces of rock that float on magma
a naturally occuring solid mixture of one or more minerals and organic matter.
a rock
responsible for erosion
flowing water and glaciers
the center of the Earth.
the core
new land can be created by volcanic eruptions/ true or false
true
sun and the earth's interior
a naturally formed solid matter that has crystalline structure.
a mineral
our classroom motto
be kind. learn things. accomplish stuff.
the layer of the Earth between the crust and the core.
the mantle
a powerful force of rock and ice that can change the land
glacier
these cause weathering and erosion
wind, rivers, rain
rocks that form when hot, liquid rock (magma) cools.
igneous rocks
the energy that causes the earth's mantle to move
the earth's hot interior
large pieces of the lithosphere that move around under the Earth's surface.
tectonic plates
movement of tectonic plates cause these
mountain and seafloor trench formation, seafloor spreading
what changes metamorphic rock into igneous rock
melting and crystallization
rocks whose structure, composition, and texture have changed from those of the original rock.
metamorphic rocks
spell my last name
caporaletti
vibrations that move away from an earthquake.
seismic waves
this geological process occurs most slowly over time
tectonic plate movement
where does sedimentation of rock likely occur
at the bend of a river
rocks formed when grains of rock or minerals (sediments)are buried, squeezed together, and cemented by minerals.
sedimentary rocks
name the two focus areas in Science 6 that need to be completed by 1st quarter
earth materials and plate tectonics
