The crust, The mantle (upper and lower), the lithosphere, and the core.

Metamorphic (heat and pressure occurring to one rock then turning into metamorphic), Igneous (formed from magma or lava), and Sedimentary (rocks formed from sediments)

A theory that states pieces of the earth's surface move.

Convection, Conduction, Radiation

The amount of matter in an object.

A slushy zone of hot rock that has a small amount of melted rock.

The breaking down of a rock that involves chemical reactions, and when physical forces break down rocks

A hypothesis that states that new crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges.

Warm air ___ and cool air ___.

The mass of an object divided by the object's volume.

The cooler denser rock falls to the bottom and the hotter less dense rock floats to the top.

When rocks (large and small) settle at the bottom of a lake or river.

lithospheric (pieces of the Earths lithosphere that move over the aesthenosphere), oceanic (thin, dense, lithospheric plates that are made of basalt and form the ocean floor), and continental (thick, less dense lithospheric plates that are made of granite and form the continents.)

The transfers of heat through liquids and gases.

Matter than can flow, usually liquid or gas.

When sediments fall to the bottom of a body of water because of gravity, which causes layers in the rock.

Liquid water, frost wedging, glaciers, wind.

Divergent boundary (A lithospheric plate boundary where two plates move apart), convergent boundary (A lithospheric plate boundary where two plates come together), and transform fault boundary (A lithospheric plate boundary where two plates slide by each other.)

The heat transfer that involves energy waves and no direct contact or movement by atoms

An upward lifting force that acts as an object when it pushes aside a fluid.

A theory that states the vein of a rock is the youngest of the different layers.

A diagram that shows how one of the three main rocks can turn into other rocks.

It is when oceanic crust subducts under the continental crust there are subduction zones. There is more activity in the subduction zones, causing volcanoes to form.

The transfers of heat through direct contact of atoms and molecules.

Is mass the same thing as weight? Explain.
