100
Made from carbon, this is the hardest mineral.
What is diamond?
100
This is the process by which older rocks become different types of rock
What is the rock cycle?
100
These are the moving pieces of Earth's crust that we live on.
What are tectonic plates?
100
The layer of the Earth that we live on.
What is the crust?
100
These are the places where earthquakes and volcanoes occur.
What are faults
200
The quality of how shiny something is.
What is luster
200
This type of rock forms from volcanoes.
What is igneous rock
200
These are where two plates meet. They can either converge, diverge, or slide past each other.
What are boundaries or faults?
200
This layer, made of molten rock, is between the crust and the core.
What is the mantle?
300
You test this by scraping a mineral on a piece of paper
What is streak?
300
This type of rock forms due to layers of sediment piling on top of one another.
What is Sedimentary rock?
300
This type of boundary is where plates come together.
What is a convergent boundary?
300
This layer has two parts, one liquid and one solid.
What is the core?
300
These disasters are caused by massive releases due to tectonic plates moving
What are earthquakes?
400
This mineral, sodium chloride, is composed of what two elements?
What is Sodium and chlorine?
400
This type of rock forms under high heat and pressure, transforming the rock.
What is metamorphic rock?
400
This is the type of boundary where plates move away from each other
What is a divergent boundary?
400
The solid portion of the core
What is the inner core?
400
This type of volcano has steep sides and explodes violently.
What is a cindercone or stratacone volcano
500
The most common element in Earth's crust.
What is Silicon?
500
Sandstone and limestone are both examples of this type of rock.
What is sedimentary rock?
500
This kind of heat transfer causes the movement of tectonic plates due to currents in the mantle
What is a convection current?
500
These two metals make up the Earth's core
What is iron and nickel?
500
These massive walls of water can form when an earthquake occurs underwater.
What is a tidal wave or tsunami?
