What is the layer of the Earth we live on?

Top Layer: Crust

100

The 3 main categories of rocks are:

Igneous, Sedimentary, Metamorphic

100

What is a fossil?

A preserved

100

What forms a delta?

Sediment collecting at the end of a river.
100

Plate tectonic movement is the reason that this Super continent broke up and our Earth's surface looks like it does today. What is the name of the super continent we studied?

Pangaea

200

True or False: Oceanic Crust is thinner than Continental Crust.

True

200

Igneous Rocks are formed by:

Cooling of lava or magma

200

How are fossils of teeth helpful?

They help us determine what animals could have ate.  (Carnivore, omnivore, herbivore)

200

What type of Plate Boundary create most mountains and volcanoes?

Convergent Boundaries. (C=CRASH together)

200

How many different types of plate boundaries did we study this quarter of the school year?

3 different types
300

What is the only liquid layer of the layers of the Earth?

Outer Core
300

Sedimentary Rocks are formed by:

Weathered sediments being pressed and cemented together.

300

What are microfossils good for?

To help us determine the type of environment that could have been. 

300

The rapid downslide of rocks and sediments and mud is called:

Landslide

300

What are the names of the three different types of plate boundaries?

Convergent, Divergent, Transform

400

What are two facts about the Mantle?

Thickest Layer

Divided in two parts: Top part moves Plates of the crust.

Molten Rock

Made of Magma

400

Metamorphic Rocks are formed by:

Heat and pressure, form from other types of rocks

400
What types of rocks are fossils typically found in?

Sedimentary Rocks

400
How do constructive forces change landforms?
They build them up! Construct!
400

Hydro= Water

Geo=?

Land/Ground

500

Which layer of the Earth has the biggest "dog pile" affect?

The inner core has the most pressure!

500

Why are the arrows in the rock cycle diagram important?

They show that rocks can move anyway on the rock cycle. Rocks can become a different type of rock.

500

When digging in a core sample.  Where would you find the oldest fossils for a fossil record?

At the bottom layer of your core sample.

500
What is an example of a destructive force on a landform?

Destructive means to break down so: Weathering, erosion, landslide, avalanche.

500

What is the difference between erosion and deposition?

Erosion is the movement of sediment

Deposition is where the sediment drop/lands/collects.
