landforms
this is the thinnest and coolest layer of the earth, located on the outside
the crust
this type of rock often contains fossils
weather, water and living things break down rocks into smaller pieces - it is called what?
weathering
the type of boundary where two plate slide against each other and earthquakes occur
transform boundary
this predicts what will happen (if____then____)
the center of the earth made of iron and nickel
inner core
metamorphic rocks
this changes the earth's surface very slowly - when thing moves
erosion
fossils are found in these rocks
sedimentary
this thing stays the same
constant
largest layer of the earth made of hot molten rock under the crust
mantle
minerals
this type of weathering breaks down the bond of a rock (rust & acid rain)
chemical weathering
this is when two plates pull apart and new land is formed
divergent boundary
the variable which responds to the independent variable - it is measured
dependent variable
the layer after the mantle made of iron and nickel
outer core
type of rocks made my bits of clay and dirt that are pressed together
sedimentary rocks
this is a physical change - changes the way the rock looks, but not it's make up
physical weathering
when two plates collide and form mountains
convergent boundary
one variable that has been chosen to change during the experiment
independent variable
the earth's crust is located in this
lithosphere
lava cools to form this type of rock
igneous
what is a way to prevent soil erosion?
plant grass or plants
this is when a continental plate and ocean plate collide causing volcanoes
subduction zone
The name of method used during an experiment
scientific method
