Vocab
This term refers to the breaking up of rocks and soil
What processes form a metamorphic rock?
Heat and pressure
This type of plate boundary results in the formation of mid-ocean ridges
Divergent
What layer is the thinnest
The crust
What event did Ms. Poppleton watch live on Tuesday evening (04/04)?
Mariners vs. Angels Baseball Game (Mariners won!)
This term refers to the movement of broken down rocks and soil
How can a metamorphic rock become an igneous rock?

What layer is made of liquid rock
The Mantle
How many years has Ms. Poppleton been teaching? (including this year)
9 years
This term refers to the cooling and hardening of magma
Crystallization
How can an igneous rock become a sedimentary rock?
An igneous rock can be broken up forming sediments. These sediments will experience pressure over time from layers of sediments piling on top to form sedimentary rocks.
What are the 3 types of convergent plate boundaries?
Continent - Continent
Continent - Oceanic
Oceanic - Oceanic
The earth's crust is made up of oceanic and continental crust. Of these two types of crust, which is more dense?
Oceanic crust is denser, it will sink into the mantle after colliding with continental crust
Where is Ms. Poppleton going for spring break?
California
This term refers to the formation of solid rock over time due to the pressure of stacked layers of sediment.
Cementation
Name a type of igneous rock
Granite, Pumice, Obsidian, Scoria (There are other types as well, answers may vary)
This process occurring in the layer of magma beneath the Earth's surface is the cause of plate movement on Earth
Convection Currents or Convection Cells
What 2 metals make up both the inner and outer core?
(Half points will be awarded for getting one correct)
Iron and Nickel
What are the names of Ms. Poppleton's cats?
Hazel & Maya
This term refers to the buildup of sediment layer by layer
Compaction
Name a type of sedimentary rock
Sandstone, Limestone, Shale, gypsum or Conglomerate (There are other types as well, answers may vary)
What tectonic plate are we located on?
*BONUS: Double points if you can name the smaller plate located just off the coast of Washington
North American Plate
Bonus: Juan De Fuca Plate
What 2 types of rock make up the earth's crust.
(Half points will be awarded for getting one correct)
