Rocks, misc.
This type of rock forms by the settling out of water, air and ice from layers.
Sedimentary
This volcano has steep sloping sides and fountain-like lava bursts.
Cinder Cone
This kind of mountain is formed by convergent and subduction boundaries.
Fault-Block Mountain
The name of the boundary when two plates move toward each other causing mountains to form.
Convergent
This is a volcano that spews hot water out of the top.
Geyser
This kind of rock is formed by high heat and pressure.
Metamorphic
This volcano is formed by magma pushing up through the center and the outside layer of lava cracking to allow more lava to come through.
Lava Dome
This type of mountain is formed by convergent and divergent boundaries and is rounded on the top.
Dome Mountain
When one plate moves under another it is called this.
Subduction
Name the four types of erosion.
Gravity, Flowing water, Wind and Glacial ice
Rocks which are formed by magma exiting the earth and cooling.
Igneous
This volcano has gentle sloping sides and lava oozes from the base.
Shield Volcano
This kind of mountain is formed by convergent boundaries and looks like it has ripples in the side.
Folded Mountain
This happens when a burst of energy is released by two plates moving against each other.
Earthquake
Crust, Mantle, Core
Name the 5 layers of soil.
Organic, topsoil, subsoil, decomposed rock (weathered), bedrock
This volcano alternates spewing lava and debris.
Composite Volcano
A mountain that has lava spewing from it at times.
Volcanic
The name of the boundary when two plates move away from each other.
Name the three types of rocks.
Sedimentary, Metamorphic, and Igneous
This weathering chemically alters the mineral components of rocks.
Chemical Weathering
Give the definition of weathering.
The process by which rocks are broken down and changed by environmental conditions.
This is the movement of soil from one location to another.
Erosion
This weathering is the disintegration of rocks without involving chemical reactions.
Physical Weathering
What is the supercontinent from Alfred Wegener's 1912 theory called?
Pangaea
