Layers
Rock-N-Roll
Rock -N-Roll 2
Shake, Rattle, and Roll
100
Made up of the crust and moho
What is the lithosophere
100
This is the study of the solid and liquid matter that constitutes the earth.
What is geology
100
Without this process beaches and deltas would never be created
What is sedimentation
100
This is a theory which describes the large scale motions of Earth’s lithosphere
What is plate techtonics
200
Athenosphere
What is the liquid upper part of the mantle
200
The tendency for particles in suspension to settle out of the fluid in which they are entrained, and come to rest
What is sedimentation
200
This process moves nutrients around and shapes hospitable places on earth for plant, animals, and people to live.
What is erosion
200
This process created geological features by ice, trees growing out of rocks, and waves
What is weathering
300
This layer of the Earh is 25 miles thick below the contintents and 6.5 miles thick below the floor of the oceans.
What is the listhosophere (crust)
300
An endogenetic process that shapes the land by forces within the Earth.
What is folding
300
The breaking down of rock to form sediment
What is weathering
300
A thick, slow moving mass of ice
What is a glacier
400
This generates the Earth's magnetic field.
What is the outter core
400
A process where rock on one side of the fracture has moved with respect to the rock on the other side
What is faulting
400
The process of rock reacting with water, gases and solutions (may be acidic); will add or remove elements from minerals. Minerals such as halite and calcite disolve.
What is chemical weathering
400
How geological features were made, involve natural processes, occur at different layers of the earth, involve time and pressure
What are simularities between folding, faulting, volcanism, sedimentation, and erosion, weathering, and plate tectonics
500
Most earthquakes occur on this layer of the Earth
What is the crust
500
A conduit that extends from the earth's lithosophere to the surface
What is volcanism
500
Organisms that can assist in breaking down rock into sediment or soil
What is biological weathering
500
This is a theory which states that plates float on the athenosphere and move large land masses
What is Continental Drift Theroy
