How do you describe a convergent boundary? 

plates move toward each other

100
True or False: Weathering is the carrying away of sediments caused by wind and water?
False, weathering is the process of creating new soil by breaking down rocks into smaller fragments known as sediments.

Which layer of the earth is made up of mostly molten rock?
Mantle

Weathering can cause ____________ to form. 

landforms

300
What layer of the earth is made up of solid iron and nickel?
Inner Core

How are igneous rocks formed?
The cooling of magma or lava
300

Name 2 things that can cause weathering? 

-Running Water -Wind -Extreme Heat - Freezing of water between cracks of rocks - Plants growing between cracks in rocks - Animals digging holes in rocks

400
Why do scientists believe that the inner core, which is the hottest layer, is completely solid?
They believe that it is solid because of the pressure and weight from the other layers.

True or False: Only igneous rocks can become sedementary rock. 

False, any type of rock can become any other type of rock based on what happens to it. 

400

What type of boundary causes earthquakes?

Transform Boundary

What is the difference between weathering and erosion? 

weathering is the wearing away of rock or cause small pieces of rock to break apart, and erosion is when the small pieces of rock is carried away

500
Which layer of the earth is the thickest layer?
The mantle

What are the boundaries of plates called? 

faults

During erosion, rivers, streams, and wind carry tiny pieces of rock to new locations and lay them down. What is this called?
Deposition
