|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| show | Underwater mountain ranges where new oceanic crust is formed through seafloor spreading.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A method of determining the age of rocks and materials using the predictable decay of radioactive isotopes.
🗑
|
||||
| Half-life | show 🗑
|
||||
| Meteorites | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The solid outer layer of the Earth, consisting of several large plates that fit together like puzzle pieces.
🗑
|
||||
| Seafloor Spreading | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Activities that build or create new landforms or features on Earth's surface, such as volcanism, tectonic uplift, and deposition.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Activities that break down or remove existing landforms or features, including weathering, subduction, and coastal erosion.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The eruption of magma onto the surface, forming new landforms such as volcanoes and lava fields.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The rising of the Earth's crust, forming mountains, plateaus, and other highland areas.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The process of accumulating sediment and debris in a specific location, resulting in the formation of new landforms such as deltas and beaches.
🗑
|
||||
| Weathering | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The process when one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, leading to the destruction of the descending plate and the formation of mountain ranges. Occurs in subduction zones.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A process that involves the movement of heat and material within the Earth's mantle, driving the movement of tectonic plates.
🗑
|
||||
| show | An underwater mountain range formed by plate tectonics, where new oceanic crust is created.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The ancient core of North American continental crust, formed about 2.5 billion years ago and surrounded by younger rocks from plate interactions.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A giant cloud of gas and dust from which the solar system formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago.
🗑
|
||||
| Accretion | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | A large, partially formed planetary body in the early solar system that developed through accretion but had not yet reached its final size or structure. These objects continued to grow by colliding and merging with other protoplanets and smaller debris.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The massive cloud of gas, dust, and ice that existed about 4.6 billion years ago and eventually collapsed under its own gravity to form the Sun and solar system.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The process by which Earth's interior separated into distinct layers based on density during the planet's early formation. Heavier materials like iron sank toward the center to form the core, while lighter materials rose to form the mantle and crust.
🗑
|
||||
| Inner Core | show 🗑
|
||||
| Outer Core | show 🗑
|
||||
| Mantle | show 🗑
|
||||
| Heavy Bombardment Period | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Volcanic activity and impacts released gases trapped within Earth's interior, forming Earth's early atmosphere. Produced water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and other gases that eventually led to oceans and a breathable atmosphere.
🗑
|
||||
| Theia Hypothesis | show 🗑
