100
Rocks that form when magma or lava cools and hardens and becomes solid.
What is Igneous Rock?
100
The outermost solid layer of the Earth.
What is The Earth's Crust?
100
The single large landmass that had all of the continents 245 million years ago.
What is Pangaea?
100
A place where gas, ash, or melted rock comes out of the ground (closet).
What is a Volcano?
100
The movement that occurs when blocks of rock suddenly move and release energy.
What is an Earthquake?
200
Rocks that form when minerals that form solutions or sediment from older rocks get pressed and cemented together.
What is Sedimentary Rock?
200
An area of Earth that extends from below the mantle to the center of the Earth.
What is The Earth's Core?
200
A boundary at which two plates move past each other horizontally.
What is a Transform Boundary?
200
Melted rock.
What is Magma?
200
A place within Earth along a fault at which the first motion of an Earthquake appears.
What is a Focus?
300
The series of processes in which rock changes from one type to another.
What is The Rock Cycle?
300
An area of Earth that is located between the core and crust.
What is The Earth's Mantle?
300
A boundary where two plates move away from each other.
What is a Divergent Boundary?
300
Magma that has reached the Earth's surface.
What is Lava?
300
A spot directly above the focus.
What is an Epicenter?
400
The sinking of regions of the crust to lower elevations.
What is Subsidence?
400
The outermost rigid area of the Earth.
What is The Lithosphere?
400
Large scale movements of the Earth's lithosphere.
What is Plate Tectonics?
400
The opening of a volcano where lava and clouds of ash can come out of.
What is a Vent?
400
Where two or more tectonic plates meet.
What is a Tectonic Plate Boundary?
500
An area where a set of deep cracks form and are common between tectonic plates that are pulling apart.
What is a Rift Zone?
500
The strong lower part of the mantle.
What is The Mesosphere?
500
The divided pieces of the lithosphere.
What is Tectonic Plates?
500
A location where a column of extremely hot mantle rock rises through the asthenosphere.
What is a Hot Spot?
500
The return of rock to its original shape after elastic deformation.
What is Elastic Rebound?
