| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| . What are the 4 parts to the planet Earth? | Crust/Lithosphere, Mantle, Outer Core, & Inner Core |
| How thick is the Earth’s mantle? | 1,800 miles |
| About how much does the Earth’s mantle volume makeup the planet Earth? | About 84% |
| About how far inside the Earth is the Earth’s core located at? | The core is found about (1,802 miles) below Earth’s surface |
| What describes the outermost shell of any terrestrial planet? | The Crust |
| The Earth’s crust is about how deep? | 25 Miles |
| How much of the Earth’s crust makeups the Planet Earth? | 1% |
| What makes the planet Earth unique in the Solar System? | It contains many types of known lifeforms |
| What is a series of processes that create and transform the types of rocks in Earth’s crust? | The Rock Cycle |
| What is the first type of rock that is created from a volcano’s lava? Igneous Rock | Igneous Rock |
| What is the next change to an Igneous Rock? | Sedimentary Rock |
| What is the last change that a rock goes through from a Sedimentary Rock? | Metaphonic Rock |
| What are the 4 stages to the ROCK CYCLE? | 1-Magma flowing down after cooling it becomes (IGNEOUS ROCK) 2-Become later (SEDIMENTARY ROCKS) 3-Then becomes (METAMORPHIC ROCK) 4-Returns to Magma. |
| What is the process by which natural forces break down rocks? | Weathering |
| What are the two types of weathering? | Mechanical Weathering & Chemical Weathering |
| What is mechanical weathering? | It is the breaking up of rocks by physical force |
| What type of mechanical weathering is when water seeps into rocks and freezes causing rocks to expand and break apart? | Frost (ICE) Wedging |
| What type of mechanical weathering flakes or breaks off outer layers for rocks? | Exfoliation |
| What type of mechanical weathering is when plants or roots crack or break through dirt or rocks? | Root Pry |
| What type of mechanical weathering occurs when rocks and other particles grind against each other due to the flow of wind and water? | Abrasion |
| What is known as a natural process that slowly breaks apart or changes rock? | Erosion |
| What happens once a rock is affected by the process of erosion? | It causes bits of rock and earth to be carried away from their original location |
| What are the four different types of erosion? | Water Erosion, Wind Erosion, Glacial Erosion & Coastal Erosion |
| What type of erosion takes a long time, but can also happen fast such as in a flood? | Water Erosion |
| What type of erosion can carry soil across a distance, such as sand dunes forming or being blown away? | Wind Erosion |
| What type of erosion is movement downward from a glacier tearing through land, hills, or mountains? | Glacier Erosion |
| What type of erosion is ocean water crashing into the inland and slowly breaking the rock structures apart in time? | Coastal Erosion |
| What are two types of depositions? | Wet deposition & Dry deposition |
| What is deposition weathering/erosion known as? | The dropping of sediment in a new place |
| Where do wet depositions occurs at? | Rivers, Oceans, or Glaciers |
| Where do dry depositions occurs at? | Winds or gravity |
| What are the 4 main types of landforms in the world? | Mountains, Hills, Plateaus &Plains |
| What are the 4 different types of mountain formations? | Folded Mountains, Upwarped Mountains, Fault-blocked Mountains & Volcanic Mountains |
| What type of mountains are primarily formed at convergent plate boundaries, where two tectonic plates collide? | Folded Mountains |
| What type of mountains are formed when molten rock rises up and pushes layers of rock upwards? | Upwarped Mountains |
| What type of mountains are a type of mountain range formed by the uplift and tilting of large blocks of the Earth’s crust along faults due to tectonic forces? | Fault block Mountains |
| What type of mountains are landforms created by volcanic activity, typically formed through the eruption of magma from beneath the Earth's crust? | Volcanic Mountains |
| What is a landform that extends above the surrounding terrain and is generally somewhat lower and less steep than a mountain? | A Hill |
| What is an extensive area of flat upland usually bounded by steep slopes on all sides but sometimes enclosed by mountains? | A Plateau |
| What is defined as a lowland area that is level or gently sloping, often characterized by few prominent hills or valleys? | A Plain |
| What is any sudden shaking of the ground caused by the passage of seismic waves through Earth’s rocks? | Earthquakes |
| What is a rupture in the crust of the Earth, that allows hot lava, and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface? | Volcanoes |
| What refers to the downward movement of rock, soil, or a combination of these, which can occur by falling in an unstable area? | Landslides |
