layer of the earth
How does the lithosphere act
act like a moving plate
what is a convergent plate boundary
plates pushed against each other
What geological feature is a Mid Atlantic Ridge
mid-ocean ridge
what is mechanical weathering
The breaking down of rocks by physical force
what are the two types of metomorphic rock
folicated and non-folicated
What is inside the core
Iron and nikle
what is a divergent plate boundary
Plates that are pulling apart
what type of geological features is Himalayas
Fold-thrust mountain
what is chemical weathering
the breakdown of rocks by chemical reactions that changes the rocks' chemical composition
what are the three types of sedimantry rocks
clastic, chemical, and organic
what state is the inner core
Solid metal
what is transform plate boundary
plates that slides against each other
when does a strick- slip fault form
during a transform plate boundary in o-o, c-o, and c-c
what is abrasion
A mechanical weathering that worn down rocks by other rock particles
how are extrusive igneous rocks formed
when molten rocks cools and solifies above ground
what state of matter is the asthenosphere
what is created in a o-o convergent boundary
trench and volcanic arc
when does a accretionary wedge form
During a o-c convergent boundary
what is oxidation
a Chemical weathering that worn down objects by air
how are intrusive igneous rock formed
when molten rocks cools and solifies underground
what is in the outer core and what state is it
filled with Fe and Ni, liquid metal
why does a o-c divergent boundary exist
That would become o-o
what is the difference between normal fault and slip-strike fault
Normal fault slide vertically, slip-strike fault slides perpendicularly
what is dissolution
a chemical weathering that dissolve object using acid rain
how are metamorphic rocks formed
when other types of rock are put through intense heat and pressure
