What is the downward vertical motion of Earth’s surface? And what is the upward vertical motion of Earth's surface?
1. Subsidence
2. Uplift

What two things can wear down mountains, making them shorter and rounder at the peaks?
Weathering and Erosion

What is the equilibrium between continental crust and the denser mantle below it?
Isostasy
How many states of matter are there? Name them.

We talked about the four types of stress that act of Earth's crust. The fourth is "No Stress." Name and define the other THREE.
Tension - pulling stress
Compression - squeezing stress
Shear - parallel forces acting in opposite directions
What are enormous splits in Earth’s crust caused by tension?
Continental rifts
The Himalayan mountain range of India was formed by THIS STRESS at THIS PLATE BOUNDARY
Compression at a Convergent Plate Boundary
What was the first vaccine to be developed against a contagious disease?
Smallpox in 1796
What are the witches names from Hocus Pocus (ALL 3)
Winifred, Sarah and Mary
Name and define the two types of strain we talked about.
Elastic Strain - does NOT permanently change, or deform, rocks. When the stress is removed, the rocks return to their original shapes
Plastic Strain - creates a permanent change in shape. When the stress is removed, the rocks do NOT return to their original shapes
What are formed where tectonic plates slide horizontally past each other. Shear stress occurs here.
Transform Faults
Scientists currently think this is the reason that uplifted mountains RISE when a large piece of crust detaches and falls into the mantle.
Isostasy
