Bonus
100
Layer that surrounds the Earth and gives it protection from things like the sun.
What is the atmosphere?
100
This process changes or breaks down rock.
What is weathering?
100
The theory that explains how the continents move.
What is plate tectonics?
100
Made from melted mantle that had cooled.
What is igneous rock?
100
A layer of gases around the Earth.
What is the atmosphere?
200
The middle layer of the Earth
What is the core?
200
This process carries away weathered rock.
What is erosion?
200
The number of plates that "float" on top of the mantle.
What is 20?
200
Sand grains that are cemented together.
What is sedimentary rock?
200
This layer is a protection from the sun.
What is the hydrosphere?
300
Rocks and soil make up this layer
What is the lithosphere?
300
The process in which water drops eroded material as it slows down.
What is deposition?
300
Mountains, earthquakes, and volcanoes are formed by this.
What is plate movement?
300
The remains of dead organisms trapped in layers of rock.
What are fossils?
300
Made up of solid, very hot metal.
What is the core?
400
The outer most part of the lithosphere
What is the crust?
400
Rocks do this during the rock cycle.
What is change?
400
When land formations occur such as mountains, volcanoes and earthquakes it is a result of this.
What is when two plates collide?
400
When either igneous or sedimentary rock are changed through the process of heat or pressure they form this.
What is metamorphic rock?
400
New land that is formed at a river's mouth by deposition.
What is a delta?
500
Earth's lakes, rivers and oceans make up this layer
What is the hydrosphere?
500
When rocks have been broken they have gone through this process.
What is physical weathering?
500
An example of evidence used to help scientists form the plate tectonic theory.
What is glacial deposits, coal deposits, land formations, puzzle like edges of the continents?
500
How rocks change their form.
What is the rock cycle?
500
Weathered igneous rock becomes this.
What is sand?
