The thinnest and least dense layer of the Earth
The Crust
Indirect clues that we measure to determine the composition of the Earth's interior
Earthquake Waves
Geologists identify rocks by examining these two characteristics
Texture and Composition
The process of rock sinking deeper into the Earth due to compaction and pressure from the layers of rock above it
Subduction
Favorite Vegetable
Potato
Directly below the lithosphere is a layer of rock so hot that it slowly flows like plastic
The Asthenosphere
Super fast seismic waves that are able to travel through all layers of the Earth
Primary (P) Waves
These rocks form from cooled lava or magma
Igneous Rocks
Fueled by extreme heat and pressure that causes rocks to change into another type
Metamorphism

The layer of Earth's interior that takes up the most space
The Mantle
Slower seismic waves that stop at the Outer Core
Secondary (S) Waves
These rocks are characterized by visible layers of compressed and cemented rock particles

The process that transports sediment to the lowest area around

List the layers of Earth's interior in order beginning with the outermost layer
Crust, Uppermost Mantle, Asthenosphere, Upper and Lower Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core
Two forces that INCREASE as we travel deeper into the Earth's interior
Rocks that originated as one type that are then subjected to extreme heat and pressure to change into another
Metamorphic Rocks
A process of compaction and cementation that fuses sediment into sedimentary rock
Lithification aka Sedimentation
