100
What is landforms
features sculpted as a result of forces from inside the earth
100
What is temperature and pressure
These increase as you go deeper into the earth's surface
100
What is middle layer
Location of the mantel
100
What is two
the amount of types of crust
100
What is composition
Makes different rock types denser than others
200
What is uplift
Process that moves the surface of the earth to higher elevations
200
What is three
The amount of basic layers earth has
200
What is brittle
Rocks located in the upper mantel are (describing word)
200
What is rigid and brittle
describing words that tell what kind of rock makes up the crust
200
What is convection
Process that allows thermal energy in the earth's outer core to escape towards the surface
300
What is erosion
Wearing away of rock and soil
300
What is earthquakes
These create sesimic waves
300
What is peridotite
Type of rock that makes up the upper part of the mantel
300
What is igneous rock (granitite)
contiential crust is made up of this type of rock
300
What is plate techtonics
Convention in the mantel is important for this process
400
What is internal energy
Produces uplift
400
What is sesimic waves
Evidence collected about the earth's layers are from
400
What is oxygen, silicon, magnesium, iron
elements contained in the rocks found in the mantel
400
What is basalt (igneous rock)
crust under the ocean is composed of this type of rock

Densest part of the earth
500
What is plate techtonics
Volcanoes are created by

What is 12 km
The depth of the furthest sample taken from earth's layers
500
What is the asthenosphere
the plastic, almost solid rock layer of the mantel
500
What is lithosphere
Crust and upper most layer of the mantel form this
500
What is the inner core
Part of the core where pressure and heat is so great that metals exist in a solid state
