What is catastrophism?
The driving force of Earth's processes that goes on in the mantle.
What is convection?
Type of igneous rock formed from lava cooling; forms fine-grained rocks.
What is extrusive?
Rock formed when it gets changed and deformed through extreme heat and pressure.
What is metamorphic rock?
What happens when bits of land gets chipped or scraped off due to plate activity.
What is shearing?
Assumption that Earth's surface developed over billions of years because of natural, regular, ongoing processes.
What is uniformitarianism?
When a plate gets overridden by another plate and forced into the mantle to get recycled.
What is subduction?
Type of igneous rock formed from magma cooling; forms coarse-grained rocks.
