Energy
This energy source is responsible for the water cycle
What is the sun?
This type of rock is made of millions of pieces of sediment.
What is sedimentary rock?
The large rock formations that form atop convergent plate boundaries
What are mountains?
The stage in the water cycle in which liquid water changes into a gas.
What is evaporation?
This energy source is responsible for melting rocks
This type of rock is what forms when magma cools and hardens
What is igneous rock?
Geologic formations that occur along divergent plate boundaries that spew lava
What are volcanoes?
The ability to make things move or change.
What is energy?
The energy source responsible for the water cycle is also responsible for this process in rock transformation
What is weathering?
This type of rock forms when rocks are subjected to high heat and pressure but does not melt
What is metamorphic rock?
the process of wind or water carrying away sediment
What is erosion?
This layer of the earth is where magma forms.
What is the mantle?
The energy source found below the Earth's surface is responsible for this process in rock transformation.
What is melting?
This hot liquid is molten rock found beneath earth's surface
What is magma?
The process of wind or water breaking rock down into small pieces
What is weathering?
This type of diagram allows us to view the inside of an object or landscape from a profile view.
What is a cross section?
The range of temperature in which rock melts
What is 700° to 1300° C
This hot liquid is cooling, molten rock found above earth's surface.
What is lava?
The processes of sediment packing and sticking together to form sedimentary rock
What are Compactions and Cementation?
When one plate runs into another and slides beneath it.
What is subduction?
