The study of the Earth's oceans.
What is oceanography?
100
A hypothesis stating that continents once formed a single landmass, and then split up and moved to the positions they are in now.
What is continental drift?
100
shaking and trembling caused by the sudden release of energy.
What is an earthquake?
100
liquid rock formed from heat inside the earth.
What is magma?
100
any material that is a solid, is inorganic, naturally occurring, has a fixed chemical composition, and an orderly crystalline structure.
What is a mineral?
200
The layers of the Earth.
What is the crust, mantle, outer core, inner core.
200
When plates push into neighboring plates at other boundaries.
What is convergent boundaries?
200
Ocean bordering the Ring of Fire

200
rock fragments made of hardened lava.
What is pyroclastics?
200
minerals break along a smooth, flat surface.
What is cleavage?
300
The study of the origin, history, and structure of the Earth.
What is geology?
300
In regions called mid-ocean ridges, new crust is formed and old crust is moved away from the center.
