Which sphere contains all rock material on earth?
geosphere
theory that the continents have moved apart over time because of plate tectonics
continental drift
sediment moved by wind or water
erosion
rock comprised of sediment that has been compacted and cemented in layers
sedimentary
flat, slow spreading
shield
Which sphere is the weak mantle layer?
asthenosphere
plate boundary that moves apart
divergent
rock is broken down into sediment
weathering
solid inorganic substance with a chemical formula and crystal structure
mineral
violently erupting ash and steam
composite
The sphere that contains the crust and upper mantle
lithosphere
plate boundary that pushes together
convergent
after being moved, rock is added to earth's surface
deposition
non-renewable sources of energy mined from underground
fossil fuels
quickly forming
cinder cone
layer where all life exists
crust
plate boundary that slides horizontally
transform
Growth in trees breaks apart rock- chemical or physical weathering?
physical
*Name a type of non-renewable energy

igneous
this process provides energy that keeps the plates in motion
convection
*plate that Indiana is on
North American
acid wears away a rock surface- physical or chemical weathering?
chemical
*Name a type of renewable energy
solar, wind, geothermal, hydroelectric
