Earth's Layers
What is the thickest layer?
What is the Mantle?
What is luster?
how an object reflects light/ shines
What are the three types of thermal energy transfers
Conduction, Convection, and radiation
What is potential Energy?
Stored Energy
What are convergent plate boundaries
Where two boundaries collide/meet.
What layer is made up of liquid metal?
Outer Core
what is the streak test?
color of the mineral's powder while being scratched.
What is radiation?
The Sun's Rays/ microwaves/ Electromagnetic Waves
What is Kinetic Energy?
Energy in motion.
What are divergent plate boundaries?
When two plates move away from each other.
What is between the mantle and the crust?
The asthenosphere
what is the strongest mineral in the Moh's hardness scale?
Diamond
What is Conduction?
When things of 2 different temperatures touch.
in a pendulum, where do potential and kinetic energy meet?
at 2 and 4.
How does Sea-Spreading occur?
Divergents plates split, and the mantle rises. As the molten solidifies, it becomes new crust.
What metals is the core made up of?
Fe and Ni
How many numbers are in the hardness scale?
10
What is Convection?
occurs in fluids and gasses. heat rises and cold falls.
what is an unbalanced force?
A balanced force that has been disrupted.
What is subduction?
When two convergent plates collide and the one with the highest density goes under it.
what is the order of the earth's layers from outside = in
CLAMC
What is the name of the Scale used to measure hardness?
Moh's Hardness Scale
How does heat move?
From an area of hot to cold
what does inertia mean?
Matters resistance to change.
Name one Tectonic Plate.
Indo-australian, North-american, Eurasian, Pacific, South American, African Plate, Phillipine Plate
