igneous rock
formed as result of tectonic process that brings magma to earth's surface
what's after volcano!
sedimentary rock
formed from the compaction of rock fragments
what's after erosion!
metamorphic rocks
extreme pressure causes rocks to change...
will next go into magma if heats up!
Pangea
200 million years ago.. all continents together
hydrosphere
the many bodies of water on earth's surface
groundwater
water stored underground in rock formations called aquifers
atmosphere
the mass of gases above earth's surface

, located in the stratosphere (2nd level in the atmosphere from earth)
captures harmful radiation
humidity
amount of water vapor in air
climate zone
3 main climate zones:
-Polar
-Temperate
-Tropical
