Spherical Earth
is shaped like a ball with all points on the surface at an equal distance from the center
Sphere
the brittle rocky outer layer of Earth
Crust
forms where two plates separate
Divergent plate boundry
What is the equation to calculate density?
mass divided by volume
What does geo mean?
Earth/ground
Earth's entire solid body
Geosphere
is the thick middle layer in the solid part of Earth
mantle
forms where two plates slide past each other
transform plate boundry
David discovered that a toy car had a mass of 32 g and a volume of 4 mL?
The answer is 8
What does atmo mean?
air/gas
is the force that every object exerts on all other objects because of there masses
Gravity
scientist group the crust and the upper most mantle into a rigid layer
Lithosphere
forms where two plates colllide
Convergent Plate Boundry
Bob put a rubber ball on a triple beam balance and found that its mass was 100 g and its volume was 4 mL.What is the density?
The answer is 25 g/mL
What does hydro mean?
Water
is the amount of mass in a material per unit volume
Density
the dense metallic center of Earth
Core
rising mantle material at mid-ocean ridges creates the potential for plates to move away from the ridge with a force
ridge push
Jamal discovered that his mini football had a volume of 72 mL and a mass of 6 g.What is the density of the football?
12 g/mL
What does cryo mean?
Ice
Why is the Earth round?
Heat and gravity
the outer part of the magnetic field that inter acts with these particles
Magnetosphere
as a slab sinks it pulls on the rest of the plate with a force
Slab pull
