The Rock Cycle
Types of Rocks
Continental Drift Theory
Plate Tectonics
The Earth's Layers
100
This explains how Earth's processes change a rock from one type to another.
What is the rock cycle?
100

To form igneous rock, this moves upwards through the layers of the Earth and cools, then crystallizes.

What is magma?

100

What is the driving force of Continental Drift?

What is Tectonic Plates

100
This occurs when plates slide past each other.
What are earthquakes?
100

This is the outermost layer of Earth

What is the crust?

200
These are the three major families of rocks.
What are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic?
200

This is the difference between extrusive and intrusive rock.

What is extrusive rock is magma that cools on the Earth's surface and intrusive rock cools under the Earth's surface?

200
This is what the Continental Drift Theory suggests.
What is Pangea gradually drifted apart to where the continents are today?
200

This occurs when continental plates converge with oceanic plates.

What is subduction and/or the formation of oceanic trenches and volcanic arcs?

200
This is the state of matter for the outer core.
What is liquid?
300

Process of breaking apart rock into smaller pieces

What is weathering?

300

Sedimentary rocks are formed from what 4 processes?

What is sedimentation/weathering, erosion, deposition, and compaction?

300

This person came up with the idea of Continental Drift.

Who is Alfred Wegner?

300

This occurs when continental plates converge.

What is mountains form?

300
The inner core is a solid mass of this element.
What is iron?
400

Process of laying pieces of rock, shells, and other minerals in a new location.

What is deposition 

400

What type of rock is formed from heat and pressure in one constant direction?

What is foliated metamorphic rock?

400
These three things provide evidence of continental drift.
What are fossils, climate, and the continents look like they could be part of a puzzle?
400
This is the driving force of plate tectonics

What is convection currents in the mantle?

400

This layer creates Earth's magnetic field

What is the outer core?

500

This rock forms in layers called strata

What is sedimentary rock?

500

What are the three types of sedimentary rock?

What is chemical, organic, and clastic?
500
This is how fossils are evidence of the continental drift
What is plant and animal fossils are found on the coastline of different continents?
500

The occurs when oceanic plates diverge from one another.

What is magma rises and spreads out, causing sea floor spreading and mid ocean ridges?

500
This property is what creates layers inside of the Earth

What is density?
