With 100% Correct Answers graded A+ Guaranteed Success!!




core - (ANSWER)Center of the earth; composed of iron and some nickel; solid inner core & liquid outer
core



mantle - (ANSWER)the layer of of earth outside the core; mostly solid and makes up about 70% of
Earth's volume



crust - (ANSWER)the rocky outer shell of the planet



lithosphere - (ANSWER)thin, upper part of the mantle and the outermost crust; the rock consists of
cooler, brittle rock



asthenosphere - (ANSWER)below the lithosphere; contains malleable rock that can move over time



igneous rock - (ANSWER)molten magma that has cooled under Earth's surface; associated with volcanic
activity



sedimentary rock - (ANSWER)created by underwater sediments in the ocean compacted by pressure as
the sediment layer builds up



metamorphic rock - (ANSWER)formed when either igneous or sedimentary rock is subject to extreme
heat and pressure



gases in the atmosphere - (ANSWER)Nitrogen - 78%

Oxygen - 21%

Argon - 0.9%

Carbon dioxide - 0.038%

troposphere - (ANSWER)near the surface of Earth; where weather takes place and the location of almost
all clouds; pressure and temperature decrease with height in this layer



stratosphere - (ANSWER)less dense and temperature increases with height; absorbs much of the
ultraviolet energy from the sun



mesosphere - (ANSWER)temperature decreases with height; most meteors burn up when entering



thermosphere - (ANSWER)extremely thin; an abundance of ions; temperature increases with height



exosphere - (ANSWER)outer most layer; very few particles



ozone layer - (ANSWER)located in the lower part of the stratosphere; absorbs nearly 99% of the sun's
ultraviolet light



ionosphere - (ANSWER)Upper part of Earth's atmosphere

-encompasses both mesosphere and thermosphere



barometer - (ANSWER)measure atmospheric pressure



aurora/australis borealis - (ANSWER)natural atmospheric light displays; result of Earth's photons
emitting light as they collide with solar wind particles and regain electrons



hydrology - (ANSWER)The study of all water on Earth, including its movement and distribution.



hydrosphere - (ANSWER)all the water on Earth's surface, groundwater, and water in the atmosphere

waves - (ANSWER)formed by winds on the surface of bodies of water



tectonic plates - (ANSWER)plates in the lithosphere that shift causing transformations to Earth's
landscape



continental drift - (ANSWER)the gradual movement of the continents across the earth's surface



Pangaea - (ANSWER)supercontinent



earthquakes - (ANSWER)destructive releases of energy in Earth's crust caused by seismic waves



fault - (ANSWER)a fracture between two plates



epicenter - (ANSWER)The location on the surface directly above the focus of the earthquake



Seismometer (Seismograph) - (ANSWER)measures and records earthquakes



tsunami - (ANSWER)a series of waves that have the potential to devastate coastal regions with massive
volumes of water and energy



volcanoes - (ANSWER)an opening in the Earth's crust through which molten lava, ash, and gases are
ejected; caused by the movement of tectonic plates



mountain ranges - (ANSWER)plates consist of continental and oceanic crust; as the plates collide, they
push land masses together which can cause the surface to be forced upwards



ocean trenches - (ANSWER)due to the sliding of one tectonic plate underneath another as they move
towards each other, or subduction
