Included
, Plate tectonics Movement of continents and changes in the Earth's crust caused by internal forces
Atmosphere dry gas (nitrogen, oxygen, argon carbon dioxide), water vapor, solid particles
Troposphere closest to Earth's surface (weather related activities)
Stratosphere Very little water, ozone layer
Mesosphere Coldest layer
Thermosphere Layer extends upward into space
Mountains are caused by... volcanic action or tectonic plate collisions
Folding folding of rock layers, usually sedimentary rocks
Faulting Fractures in Earth's crust because of tension
Volcanoes are... the movement of magma through the crust and its emergence as lava onto the
Earth's surface
Active, Dormant, Extinct, and volcanoes currently/building up to an eruption, between eruptions but internal activity, and no
longer erupting
Igneous rock formation Intrusive: formed below Earth's surface. Extrusive: formed at Earth's surface
Sedimentary Rocks created when fluid sediments are transformed into solid rocks. Cementation is when
sediments are converted to sedimentary rocks
Igneous Rocks classified according to their texture, composition, and the way they formed. Made
from magma (molten Rock)
Metamorphic rocks formed by high temperatures and great pressure. Process is called metamorphism.
