Systems and convection currents and sisemic waves and geologic landforms
What is a transfer?
When you move something to another
Whats an igneous rock?
A rock that is formed by the cooling of magma or lava
What is Solar energy?
The energy from the sun that travels down on to solar panels.
What is the outer layer of earth?
Crust
Divergent plates
When two plates move away from each other
What is convert?
When something switches to a different unit or form.
What is a sedimentary rock?
A rock that is formed by other existing rocks that break down.
What is kinetic energy?
The energy of motion
What is the sponge like layer of earth?
Upper mantle.
convergent plates
When two plates move past each other
What are seisemic waves?
Energy waves that travel through the upper mantle and create the ground to shake.
What is a metamorphic rock?
A rock that is formed by the heat and pressure of other existing sedimentary and igneous rocks.
What is potential energy?
The energy stored inside of an object.
What is the hottest layer of earth?
Inner core.
Tranform plates
When two plates collide.
What are convection currents?
Currents that travel through liquids and move the heat.
What is the rock cycle?
The continueus paternity of the forming of igneous sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
What is Chemical energy?
The energy stored inside food fuel and batteries.
What comes bellow the sponge like layer?
Lower mantle.
The tectonic plates that make up the crust
What are geologic landforms?
Features on Earth's crust like rivers and mountiantops.
What is weathering?
The breaking down of rocks.
What is electrical energy?
The energy stored in electrons that travel through circuits.
What is above the hottest layer of earth?
Outer core.
Tectonic plates
The plates that make up Earth's crust.
