Crust Composition
Give this one a try later!
Mainly Oxygen, Silicon, and Aluminum
extrusive rock
Give this one a try later!
Igneous rock that forms from lava or eruptions on Earth's surface
Voltitiles
,Give this one a try later!
things that change the composition of Magma and make volcanos at
subduction bounadries. Usually water
How minerals are destroyed
Give this one a try later!
Melting, Dissolution in aqueous solutions, or chemical reactions with other
minerals
Gutenberg Discontinuity
Give this one a try later!
boundary between mantle and outer core
Mohorovicic discontinuity (Moho)
Give this one a try later!
boundary between crust and mantle
Silicates
,Give this one a try later!
Contain the silicon-oxygeb tetrahedron, Most common mineral group, and
the largest / most important
neocrystallization (or metamorphic reaction)
Give this one a try later!
growth of new minerals that are different from those of the protolith
Physical Composition of Earth
Give this one a try later!
lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer core, inner core
Metamorphic Composition
Give this one a try later!
Third classification: Ex. Quartz, Mica, Feldspar, etc. Can use contextual
evidence
intrusive rocks
, Give this one a try later!
Igneous rocks that form as magma cools underground
shock metamorphism
Give this one a try later!
the changes that can occur in a rock due to the passage of a shock wave,
generally resulting from a meteorite impact
Continental Drift Theory
Give this one a try later!
Alfred Wegener believed landmasses of Earth once fit together to form
single landmass called "Pangaea"; landmasses "drifted" to where they are
today; theory disregarded due to lack of evidence, proposed in 1912
pegmatitic texture
Give this one a try later!
a texture of igneous rocks in which the interlocking crystals are all larger
than one centimeter in diameter. Coarse-grained
