The process where rocks from Earth's crust are slowly being broken into smaller pieces is called...
Weathering
100
What is the difference between weathering and erosion?
Weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces; erosion moves those pieces away.

What causes magma beneath a volcano rise to the surface?
Gases in the magma

What are all the layers of Earth called?

Inner Core, Outer Core, Mantle, Earth's Crust

Give 3 examples of fast changes

Volcanoes, Hurricanes, Earthquake....

What is an example of weathering?

Water and wind breaking apart rocks. 
200
The laying down of pieces of Earth's surface is called...
Deposition
200
Volcanic eruptions produce...
Rock , lava, and ash

What is the thinnest layer called?

Earth's Crust

200
What pulls all objects from higher places to lower places?
Gravity
300
Explain how plants can weather a rock.
A plant's roots can grow inside a rock, and as they grow, it can break the rock apart.
300
Name 3 of the 4 ways weathered materials are moved.
Water, ice, gravity, and wind
300
What is the difference between lava and magma?
Magma is molten rock below earth's surface; lava is molten rock one it is above the earth's surface.

What is Earth's Crust made out of?

Solid layer, oceanic and continental crust

List 5 different landforms.

Sample Answers: Plains, plateaus, mountains, peninsulas, valleys, canyons

How can ice cause physical weathering?
If water gets into the crack of a rock and then freezes, it will expand when it turns into ice. The expanding ice can cause the rock to break into smaller pieces.
400
Name 1 similarity and 1 difference between landslides and avalanches.
Both landslides and avalanches are rapid downhill movements due to gravity. Landslides are the movement of rock and soil, while avalanches are the movement of snow and ice.
400
What is the difference between an active and a dormant volcano?
Active volcano - erupts frequently Dormant volcano - a volcano that has not erupted for a long time
400

What two layers are solid?

Inner core, Earth's Crust

400

What is a delta?

A delta is a low-lying, often triangular-shaped landform created at the mouth of a river as it deposits sediment (sand, clay, silt) faster than waves and tides can remove it.

500
Name the 2 types of weathering and how they are different.
Physical and chemical weathering. Physical weathering changes the size and physical appearance of rocks. Chemical weathering causes rocks to change into different materials.
500
Name and describe 3 ways to control erosion and deposition.
Plants - people can grow plants on hills so the roots keep the soil in place Terraces - slow the speed of water running downhill Barriers - block ocean waves from carrying the sand away
500
Where on earth's crust are volcanoes located?
Weak spots on Earth's crust; along or near where Earth's plates come together
500

Can we dig all the way through Earth?

Why or why not?

No, because it is too deep and too hot. There is not any tool that can make it to the core without melting.

What are all three steps in the slow changes process and what do they do?

Weathering (break), Erosion (take), Deposition (drop)
