The center of the Earth

the transfer of energy (heat) through direct contact between 2 objects

The parts of Earth that contain living organisms

These destroy or wear away land masses.

The rock layer under the oceans

The thickest layer of the Earth

the transfer of energy between hot and cold air or water

The Earth's outermost layer (consists of gases)

Volcanoes forming islands by erupting lava that cools into rock is this type of force.

frying an egg in a pan is an example
