Layers, like Ogres and Onions
This is the outer most layer of Earth.
What is the crust?
Transform, Divergent and Convergent are all examples of this.
What are plate boundaries?
These sweet and sour candies are Ms. Bifano's favorites.
What are Sour Patch Kids
Molten rock that has reached the surface of the crust.
What is lava?
These kinds of rocks are created when magma cools.
What is igneous rocks?
This part of the Earth is responsible for the movement of the plates through convection currents.
What is the mantle?
This plate boundary creates deep ocean trenches as part of its movement.
What is convergent?
The State north of Colorado, and the place Ms. Bifano grew up.
What is Wyoming?
The process of sediment being glued together
What is cementation?
These kinds of rocks are formed through the process of compaction and cementation.
What is sedimentary rock?
What is the Inner Core?
This landform is created when plates move apart, or diverge, from one another in the ocean.
What is a mid-ocean ridge?
This color is Ms. Bifano's favorite.
What is purple?
Everything is made out of this.
What is Matter
These types of rocks contain rounded grains that can be different sizes and different colors.
What are sedimentary rocks?
This layer sits between the inner core and the mantle is made up of liquid nickel and iron.
What is the outer core?
This man is responsible for the idea of Continental Drift.
Who is Alfred Wegner?
This is Ms. Bifano's favorite science subject.
What is Biology?
Small pieces of rocks
What is sediment?
These rocks have grains that are sharp and fit together like puzzle pieces.
This is the order of the layers of Earth from outermost to innermost.
Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core
This area surrounding the Pacific Ocean is known for its large number of earthquakes and volcanoes.
What is the Ring of Fire?
This is the degree Ms. Bifano holds from the University of Wyoming, before she became a teacher.
What is Zoology & Physiology?
This is the process of sediment being buried and pressed together.
What is compaction?
Basalt and Granite are examples of this kind of rock.
