Basics
The Solid Part of Our Planet
What is the Geosphere?
These are Made of One or More Minerals
What are Rocks?
This Energy Comes from the Earth's Core
What is Geothermal Energy?
Earthquakes are Caused by this Type of Plate Movement
What is Slide?
Name the 3 Concentric Layers of The Geosphere
What are the Crust, the Mantle, and the Core?
These Rocks are Formed When Sediment is Compacted by Weight and Can Contain Fossils
What are Sedimentary Rocks?
Surface Layer of the Planet
What is the Lithosphere?
At this Type of Plate Boundary, the Plates separate and new Lithosphere is formed
What is Divergent?
Two types of Energy that Produce Geological Processes
What are Solar Energy and Earth's Internal Energy?
These Rocks are Formed When Solid Rocks Undergo an Increase in Pressure/Temperature Inside the Earth's Crust
What are Metamorphic Rocks?
How the Lithosphere is Divided
What are Tectonic Plates?
At this Type of Plate Boundary, the Plates Collide and the Lithosphere is Destroyed
What is Convergent?
Processes Produced by Solar Energy and Gravity
Exogenous Processes
These Rocks are Formed When the Magma from the Earth's Crust Solidifies
What are Igneous Rocks?
Three Types of Tectonic Plate Movement
What are Separate, Collide, and Slide?
Volcanic Activity is Mostly Found at These Two Types of Plate Boundaries
What are Divergent and Convergent?
Processes Produced by Earth's Internal Energy
Endogenous Processes
Preserved Remains from a Different Geological Age
What is a Fossil?
Divergent, Convergent, and Transform are Examples
What are Plate Boundaries?
Mountain Ranges are Generally Formed at this type of Plate Boundary
What is Convergent?
