Earth's Layers
The outermost compositional layer of the Earth.
What is the crust?
The process of rocks being misshapen when put under stress?
What is deformation?
These landforms are the result of magma reaching the surface of the Earth.
What are volcanoes?
What is an earthquake?
Ms. York has this kind of dog.
What is a golden retriever?
This compositional layer is made up of very hot liquid and solid rock.
What is the core?
What is folding and faulting?
Magma that has reached the surface of the Earth.
What is lava?
The part of an earthquake where it starts.
What is the focus?
Ms. York majored in this subject in university.
What is neuroscience?
The two types of faults that occur at convergent and divergent boundaries in which the rock move vertically.
What are normal and reverse faults?
This volcanic mountain forms underwater at diverging boundaries.
What are mid-ocean ridges?
The part of an earthquake above the focus.
Ms. York also enjoys doing this in her free time.
What is gaming?
This physical layer overlaps with the mantle and the crust.
What is the asthenosphere?
The type of fault that occurs at transform boundaries in which the rocks move horizontally.
What is strike-slip?
This is the process of a volcano forming at converging plate boundaries.
What is one plate moving under the other and pushing the magma up?
When rocks snap back into their original shape.
What is elastic rebound?
What is classics?
This physical layer only overlaps with the mantle and almost overlaps with the core.
What is the mesosphere?
A type of folding in which the youngest rock layers are in the middle of the curve.
What is syncline?
This type of landform forms over a fissure, when layers of cooled magma build up.
What are lava plateaus?
The stress found at each type of plate boundary.
What is tension, compression, and shear stress?
Ms. York speaks these three languages.
What is English, Russian, and Lithuanian.
