| Question |
Answer |
| Thin, rocky outer layer of the Earth | crust |
| The "rocky" layer | lithosphere |
| The "weak" layer that the plates float on top of | asthenosphere |
| This layer is solid metal | inner core |
| This liquid metal layer influences Earth's magnetic field | outer core |
| This layer has convection and is made of molten rock | mantle |
| This rock is formed from weathered pieces of other rock | sedimentary |
| This rock is formed deep inside the Earth where there is intense heat and pressure | metamorphic |
| This rock is formed from cooled magma or lava | igneous |
| When hot material like, rock or air, rises, then cools and sinks | convection |
| The theory of the movement of the plates | plate tectonics |
| When two plate hit each other or rub against each other they might cause this disaster | earthquake |
| Formed where magma excapes out of the Earth | volcano |
| The boundary where two plates pull apart | divergent |
| The boundary where two plates collide | convergent |
