100
There are this many major types of landforms.
What are 3?
100
This is the number of major layers that form the Earth.
What is three?
100
These old rocks are formed into new rocks by heat and pressure (hot fluids).
What are metamorphic rocks?
100
This is what rocks are usually made of.
What are minerals?
100
This is the process that wears away rocks and soil.
What is erosion?
200
This landform has high elevation and steep sides caused by uplift.
What are mountains?
200
These are the three major layers that form the Earth.
What are crust, mantle, and core?
200
These rocks are formed in layers that are compressed by weight from above.
What are sedimentary rocks?
200
This is when the rock cycle is at work.
What is always happening?
200
This is when the rock cycle is at work.
What is always happening?
300
This landform has high elevation, is flat on top, and is caused by uplift.
What are plateaus?
300
This is the dense (solid) metallic innermost layer (area of most pressure) of the Earth.
What is the core or (inner core)?
300
These rocks are formed from liquid rock material that cools. magma - internal lava - external
What are igneous rocks?
300
Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary are all types of these.
What are rocks?
300
These are what rocks are usually made from.
What are minerals?
400
This landform is flat with low elevation.
What are plains?
400
This is the thick (plastic) middle layer of the Earth.
What is the mantle?
400
These rocks have large grains.
What are igneous rocks?
400
Bricks, instruments, windows, door knobs, filing cabinets are all made of this.
What are minerals?
400
This is the layer of the Earth that is dense, metallic, innermost, and has the greatest pressure.
What is the core?
500
this is the process that wears away rocks and soil.
What is erosion?
500
This is the thin rocky outer layer of the Earth.
What is the crust?
500
These rocks have parallel bands of dark and light mineral grains.
What are metamorphic rocks?
500
Streak, color, hardness/scratch, luster, and cleavage tests are all used to determine this.
What is the type of mineral a rock contains?
500
These rocks are formed by the compression of parallel layers of material.
What are sedimentary rocks?
