Tectonic Plates
The two types of tectonic plates.
What are oceanic and continental plates?
What are cells?
The process that changes one type of rock into another.
What is the rock cycle?
The type of resource that can only be used once.
What is a nonrenewable resource?
The sphere that includes water in all its forms.
What is the hydrosphere?
A plate boundary where the plates slide past each other.
What is a transform boundary?
The powerhouse of the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
The two energy sources in the rock cycle.
What is the sun and the core?
The three main types of renewable resources used to generate energy.
What is sun, wind, and water?
The sphere that includes the gases surrounding Earth
What is the atmosphere?
The MORE dense type of tectonic plate.
What is the oceanic crust?
The control center or brain of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
The two ways that minerals can form.
What is from magma/lava and solutions?
The process that forms nonrenewable resources like coal, oil, or natural gas.
What is fossils undergo high heat and high pressure?
The sphere that includes land, rocks, and minerals
What is the geosphere?
A boundary where two plates move towards each other, creating a volcanic mountain range.
What is an oceanic - continental convergent boundary?
The recycling center of the cell.
What is the lysosome?
The type of igneous rock that cools slowly, forming large grains.
What is intrusive igneous rock?
The reasons nonrenewable resources are limited.
What is humans are using them faster than they can be replenished?
The sphere that includes fungus, bacteria, and animals
What is the biosphere?
The area of Earth with the most tectonic activity.
What is the Ring of Fire?
The organelle that is involved in cell division.
What is the centriole?
The steps of sedimentary rock formation.
What are weathering/erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation?
The reasons why renewable resources are limited.
What is access to resources, money, and technology?
The two spheres that are most involved in weather.
What are the hydrosphere and the atmosphere?
