What is Convection?
These are three tectonic plates.
What are North American, South American, Nazca, Africa, Eurasian, Pacific, African, Australian, Indian, and Antarctic?
The sphere that contains all rocks and land
What is the Lithosphere?
This type of rock is formed by high heat and pressure
What is a Metamorphic Rock?
Convection takes place in this layer of Earth
What is the Asthenosphere?
These giant slabs of rocks slowly move under our feet due to convection.
What are Tectonic Plates?
The sphere that contains all water, either liquid, gas, or solid
What is the Hydrosphere?
This type of rock is formed by cooled and solidified magma?
What is an Igneous Rock?
Convection needs these two specific components to work.
What are Differences in Temperature and Density?
There are this many tectonic plates.
We have learned about 13, but there are 14.
The sphere that contains all gases
This process creates metamorphic rocks.
What is Metamorphism?
Convection moves these two phases of matter.
What are Liquids and Gases?
The interaction between tectonic plates create this natural event that shakes the Earth.
What are Earthquakes?
A natural disaster that interacts with all four of Earth's spheres
What is a thunderstorms, tornado, hurricane, flood, earthquake, etc....
This process breaks rocks into smaller pieces.
What is Weathering?
What are Mountains and Volcanoes?
The interaction between tectonic plates create this natural event that produces Igneous rocks.
What are Volcanoes?
