What is convection?
D = m / v where the D represents which term?
What is Density?
A group of parts that work together as a whole.
This type of rock is fine grained and part of the ocean crust.
What is basalt?
What is the hydrosphere?
These types of currents transfer heat within a fluid like in the mantle.
What are convection currents?
Decreasing elevation is due to this force.
What is destructive forces?
Forces that build up mountains.
What are constructive forces?
This type of rock is coarse grained and part of the continental crust.
What is granite?
The thin envelope of gases forming Earth's outermost layer.
What is the atmosphere?
Neither conduction or convection. This term transfers heat in rays like rays from the sun.
What is radiation?
Increasing elevation is due to this force.
What is constructive forces?
The ability to do work.
What is energy?
This type of rock is dark and is part of the oceanic crust.
What is basalt?
Earth's metal core, solid middle layer, and outer rocky layer.
What is geosphere?
This type of heat transfer is between materials that are touching.
What is conduction?
What is atmosphere?
Forces that wear down land masses.
What is destructive forces?
This type of rock is lightly colored and part of the continental crust.
What is granite?
This sphere includes all the rocks on Earth.
What is geosphere?
Metal heats up touching a heat source. This could be considered this type of heat transfer.
What is conduction?
This is the measurement of how much mass there is in a given volume.
What is Density?
The ___ core of the earth is solid.
What is the inner core?
The Earth's core contains __ and nickel. The missing term also Fe on the Periodic Table.
