Honey 'boom,boom'!
'Erosion' of pts
'Lil of this or that
That was unexpected
100
When one tectonic plate sinks beneath another
What is subduction?
100
this is molten rock inside the Earth
What is magma?
100
Rocks formed from pieces of other rocks pressed or cemented together.
What is sedimentary?
100
A fracture in Earth's lithosphere along which blocks of rock move past each other or yours if you cause it.
What is a fault?
100
atoms of an element with a different number of neutrons are this.
What are isotopes?
200
natural processes that form, change, break down, and re-form rocks
What is the rock cycle?
200
This is molten rock on the Earth's surface.
What is lava?
200
Mechanical weathering breaks up rocks with physical force resulting in this.
What is sediments?
200
The origin point of an earthquake is this.
What is the focus?
200
This is what the atomic number of an atom represents.
What is the number of protons?
300
energy cycle which moves semi-molten material in the mantle
What is convection?
300
This type of volcano is made from low silica containing lava which results in a low profile.
What is a shield volcano?
300
This type of landslide is the downhill movement of large masses of rock and soil.
What is mass wasting?
300
The point on the Earth's surface above an earthquake's origin.
What is the epicenter?
300
This type of chemical bond involves sharing electrons.
What is covalent?
400
process by which natural forces break down rocks
What is weathering?
400
These types of rocks are formed from magma or lava.
What is igneous?
400
Sediments will settle out in water at different levels based upon this.
What is their density?
400
This is the layer of hotter, softer rock in the upper mantle.
What is the asthenosphere?
400
This percipitation occurs when the water in clouds is combined with acidic compounds.
What is acid rain?
500
changing of rocks composition by chemical reactions resulting in their breakdown
What is chemical weathering?
500
This volcano's massive eruption in 1815 caused snow to be colored worldwide.
What is Tambora?
500
a fan-shaped deposit of sediment at the base of a mountain is know as this
What is an alluvial fan?
500
This isn't California's only fault, but it is the most known.
What is the San Andreas Fault?
500
This type of weathering could occur from acid rain.
What is chemical (weathering)?
