You ROCK
These are the three types of Rocks
What are igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary?
Instability of atomic nuclei is called this.
What is radioactive?
What is weather?
Humans, animals, and plants are part of this sphere.
What is the Biosphere?
The theory of how the Lithosphere moves.
What is the Theory of Plate Tectonics?
This shows how rocks change from one type to another.
What is the rock cycle?
This is the time it takes for half of a radioactive substance to change to a more stable substance
What is a half-life?
This is what we expect for temperature and precipitation over long periods of time.
What is climate?
This molecule is represented by 2 different spheres.
What is H2O?
(also acceptable: What is water?)
This is the hottest layer of the Earth and its phase state.
What is the solid inner core?
Rock that is formed when any other type of rock is subjected to enough intense heat and pressure
What is metamorphic rock?
This is what we try to use in undisturbed sedimentary rock that has no radioactive material to get a sense of time.
What is the Law of Superposition?
This movement of H2O through Earth's spheres often affects the weather.
What is the Water Cycle?
This sphere contains the Ozone Layer.
What is the stratosphere?
This is what happens when oceanic crust meets continental crust. It's volcanic!
What is subduction?
If a plant grows in a rock and causes some of it to break off it is called this.
What is physical weathering?
This type of rock structuring confounds the use of Superposition due to the rock no longer appearing in organized layers.
What is folding?
This is the phenomena that tends to move storms from West to East over the United States.
What is the Jet Stream.
These 4 spheres are directly affected by a volcanic eruption.
What is the Geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere?
This is theorized to cause the movement of tectonic plates, as well as the location of the phenomena.
What are convection currents in Earth's mantle?
This process in the creation of sedimentary rock involves minerals crystalizing and "gluing" the rock together.
What is cementation?
What is Carbon - 14?
At night on Vilano Beach you can expect this kind of movement of the air.
What is a Land Breeze?
Asteroids start to burn up here.
What is the Mesosphere?
Convection currents are caused by changes in these two factors.
What are heat and density?
