Which layer of the earth contains convection currents, is squishy, solid rock that flows slowly, and lithosphere pieces move on top of

The process by which sediments are laid down in a new location. This creates new landforms

Land, made of granite, less dense

A branch of geology concerned with the study of rock layers and layering

Events that cause objects to be worn away or broken down

What is the liquid layer that surrounds the inner core called

The process that moves the weathered rocks to a new location

Ocean floor, made of basalt, more dense

What method do scientists use to determine Relative age of rocks

Events that cause objects to be built up or created new

Which layer makes up most of the earth's mass

The process that breaks down rocks on the Earth's surface

Where two lithosphere plates meet

Determining an age of a rock though chronological order

Which destructive process takes the longest

What layer of the earth is divided into tectonic plates, and is made up of crust and the rigid upper part of the mantle

Flat, sandy area that is formed by sediment being deposited at the mouth of a river when the current slows down as it reaches the ocean. It is triangle shaped

Two plates move away from each other

A method of establishing the age of archaeological finds or remains by comparing them with other finds or remains which sometimes have known dates

Which processes can be considered both constructive and destructive

What is the solid center of our planet called

A long, deep, narrow, very steep-sided valley cut primarily in bedrock with high walls in a mountainous area often with a stream/river flowing through it

Movement of plates of lithosphere because of convection currents in mantle

Determining the relative order of past events, without necessarily determining their absolute age

Folding, faulting, and volcanoes
