The rock at Earth's surface forms a nearly continuous shell around Earth called this.
What is the lithosphere?
100
Fossils are usually found in this kind of rock
What is sedimentary?
100
This is the transport of sediment.
What is erosion?
100
This causes Earth's crust to move.
What is convection currents in the mantle?
100
These 2 pieces of evidence suggest that the continents were once together.
What are fossils and continents shaped like puzzle parts?
200
The majority of the lithosphere is covered by a relativley thin layer of water called this?
What is the hydrosphere?
200
Fossils can be used to study (2 answers).
What are past climates and enviorments?
200
The driving force behind erosion.
What is gravity?
200
Movement of Earth's crust may result in these 4 things.
What are earthquakes, volcanic eruption, and creation of mountains and ocean basins?
200
This theory explains how the "solid" lithoshpere consists of a series of plates that "float" on the partually molten section of mantle.
What is the Theory of Plate Tectonices?
300
Rocks are composed of these.
What are minerals?
300
The dynamic processes that wear away Earths' surface (2 answers)
What is weathering and erosion?
300
Gravity can act directly or through agents suchas these (3 answers).
What are wind, moving air, and glaciers?
300
We use this data to conclude that there are layers within Earth.
What is earthquake wave data?
300
These cells within the mantle may be the driving force for the movement of plates.
What are convection cells?
400
These rocks make up most of the rocks of Earth.
What are granite and basalt?
400
The process of weathering breaks down rock into this.
What is sediment?
400
Water circulates through the atmosphere, lithosphere, and hydrosphere in what is known as this process.
What is the water cycle?
400
Name 4 layers of Earth (4 answers).
What are crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core?
400
Plates move in 3 ways.
What are move apart, collide, or slide past each other?
500
Minerals are identified on the basis of physical properties such as these.
What are streak, hardness, and reaction to acid?
500
Soil consists these 4 things.
What are water, sediment, organic material and air?
500
This is how you would describe the temperature inside Earth.
What is HOT?
500
These types of rocks layers suggest past crustal movement (4 answers).
What are folded, tilted, faulted, and displaced?
500
Most volcanic activity and mountain building occur at the boundaries of plates, often resulting in this.
