100
igneous rock sedimentary rock metamorphic rock
What is the three different basic types of rocks
100
explains the formation, movement, and subduction of Earth’s plates
What is the theory of plate tectonics
100
The place where two plates move apart is called a divergent boundary.
What is divergent boundary
100
this rock needs magma to help it form
What is a igneous rock
100
composed mainly of iron and nickel
What is the core
200
melting then it turns into magma then it cools and it turns into a igneous rock
What is a metamorphic rock changing into igneous rock
200
As plates move, the changes include volcanoes, mountain ranges, deep-sea trenches, and earthquakes.
What is plate movement
200
The place where two plates come together, or converge.
What is convergent boundaries
200
this rock changes due to heat & pressure
What is a metamorphic rock
200
composed of hot iron-rich silicate rocks.
What is mantle
300
weathering and erosion takes places then breaks down into sediments then it compacts and cements together to form
What is a igneous rock changing into a sedimentary rock
300
The plates carry the continents, the ocean floor or both.
What is lithosphere
300
rate of about 1-10 centimeters
What is plate movement per year
300
this rock is formed when sediments is pressed & cemented together
What is sedimentary rock
300
is the layer of Earth we walk on. It is the thinnest layer.
What is crust
400
all i have to do is experience heat and pressure on the rock cycle
What is changing into a metamorphic rock
400
the geological theory that states that pieces of Earth’s lithosphere are in constant motion, driven by convection currents in the mantle.
What is plate tectonics?
400
When two plates collide, the density of the plates determines which one comes out on top.
What is convergent boundaries
400
process when rocks break into smaller pieces
What is erosion
400
A dense, hot layer of Earth between the crust
What is outer core
500
a cycle to show how rocks change over time.
What is the rock cycle
500
Identify the problem Gather Information Hypothesis Test Hypothesis Analyze Results Conclusion
What is the scientific method
500
this is referred to as a rift valley
What is divergent boundary
500
this rock comes from volcanoes erupting
What is igneous rock
500
partly melted rock that flows like thick liquid.
What is the mantle
