What is the lowest layer of the atmosphere?
What is the troposphere?
100
Plates move past each other. This can cause earthquakes.
What is transform plate boundaries?
100
Rhyolite, basalt, andesite

100
pieces of solid material that have been deposited by wind, water, ice, or gravity form
What are sedimentary rocks?
100
Warm air replaces cooler air. Normally has light precipitation

200
The layer of the atmosphere that contains the ozone later
What is the stratosphere?
200
Plate pull apart
What is divergent plate boundaries?
200
Cinder-cone, shield, composite
What are types of volcanoes?
200
Formed from the cooling and crystallization of magma below the Earth's surface or lava above Earth's surface
What are igneous rocks?
200
Warm air and cold air mass meet and neither move. Normally results in many days of cloudy, wet weather.
