Layers
___________sphere contains all rock material on earth
geo
theory that the continents have moved apart over time because of plate tectonics
continental drift
sediment is transported by wind or water
erosion
layered sediment rock
sedimentary
flat, slow spreading volcano
shield
________sphere is the weak mantle layer
astheno
plates boundary that moves apart and creates volcanoes
divergent
rock is broken down into sediments
mineral
Violently erupting, erupts ash and steam
composite
_______sphere is the crust layer and upper mantle
litho
plate boundary that pushes together and forms mountains
convergent
rock is added to earth's features
deposition
non renewable sources of energy mined from underground
fossil fuels
rapidly forming, powerful eruptions, smooth sides
cinder cone
layer where all life exists
crust
plate boundary that slides horizontally and causes earthquakes
transform
growth in plants breaks apart a rock- chemical or physical weathering?
physical
volcanic rock, when magma cools
igneous
in the mantle, this process provides energy that keeps the plates in motion
convection
acid weathers a rock surface-chemical or physical weathering?
chemical
rock created by heat and pressure from another type of rock
metamorphic
