Earth's Layers
What are the layers of the Earth in order from the layer we stand on to the inside?
Crust, Mantle, Outer Core and Inner Core
What are all rocks made of?
Different types of minerals and anything found near them (organic materials)
What are the three types of rocks?
Igneous, Metamorphic and Sedimentary
What does W.E.D mean?
Weathering, Erosion and Deposition
What are all living things made of?
Cells
What layer of the Earth contains convection currents?
Mantle
What characteristics can be used to classify minerals?
Hardness, luster, color, streak, crystal structure, cleavage
How do sedimentary rocks form?
Weathering and Erosion break rocks up into sediments and then those sediments get compacted and cemented to create sedimentary rocks?
What type of matter does weathering, erosion and deposition refer to? (Solid, Liquid, Gas)
Solids
What do we call any disturbance that transfers energy?
Wave
What layer of the Earth is completely liquid?
Outer Core
What are rocks like in a chocolate chip cookie?
They are the chocolate chip cookie
How do igneous rocks form?
Melting of previous rocks into magma and then the magma cools creating igneous rock
What are the four ways that weathering occurs?
Water, Ice, Waves, and Wind
What are the three types of heat transfer?
Conduction, Convection and Radiation
What happens to temperature and pressure as you go deeper into Earth's layers?
They both increase
What are minerals like in a chocolate chip cookie?
The ingredients. Chocolate chips, sugar, brown sugar, flour, baking soda...
How do metamorphic rocks form?
Heat and pressure of previous rocks
What is the driving force of erosion?
Gravity
What are the 7 cell organelles?
Nucleus, Mitochondria, Cell Membrane, Cytoplasm, Vacuole, Chloroplast and Cell Wall
What is the driving force of convection currents?
Earth's Hot Interior
How are we able to tell the difference between rocks and minerals?
Rocks are created organically and contain minerals, minerals are created inorganically, have a crystal structure and definite chemical composition
What are the 2 extra steps that can happen in the rock cycle to get to Igneous and Sedimentary rock?
Magma and Sediment
What is the chant we use to easily remember what each term from W.E.D. means?
Weathering breaks, Erosion takes and Deposition lays it down
What terms do we use when we are describing an objects heat transfer? (There are 2)
Conductor or Insulator
