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
