🗑
earthquakes   sudden movements of Earth's crust followed by a series of shocks  
🗑
igneous rock   rock formed by the solidification of molten magma

🗑
tectonic plates   Sections of the Earth's crust that move due to convection currents.  
🗑
trench   a ditch dug as a fortification having a parapet of the excavated earth  
🗑
volcanoes   openings in Earth's crust from which molten rock, dust, ash, and hot gases flow or erupt  
🗑
lithosphere   the solid part of the earth consisting of the crust and outer mantle  
🗑
parent material   material from which a soil is formed, determines composition and properties of the soil  
🗑
material from which a soil is formed, determines composition and properties of the soil   the mass of air surrounding the Earth
