2
What is the thinnest layer of the earth?
3
The crust
4
Which layer is made of melted rock?
5
The Mantle
6
Name the theory that suggests that the crust is
moving.
7
Plate Techtonics
8
Why is the earths crust cracked and moving?
9
Because of all the heat and pressure within the
earth.
10
Describe what you would find if you could dig a
tunnel to the center of the earth.
11
The first layer is the cold, thin crust made of
rocks. The second, and largest layer, the mantle,
is very hot with melted rocks. The third layer
is the outer core made of liquid iron. Finally, I
would reach the center when I hit a solid ball of
flaming iron. Of course, the deeper I went the
hotter it was and the greater the pressure became.
12
What is weathering?
13
The natural wearing down and breaking up of
materials due to the weather.
14
What is erosion?
15
The carrying away of weathered materials.
16
What is the difference between the Oceanic crust
and the Continental Crust?
17
The Oceanic crust is thinner and found underneath
the oceans. The Continental Crust is much thicker
and carries a continent on it.
18
What causes erosion and weathering?
19
Moving water Wind Ice Gravity People, plants, and
animals
20
What can farmers do to prevent erosion?
21
Keep something planted at all times. Use contour
farming techniques. Rotate crops to protect the
nutrients within the ground.
22
What is the rock cycle?
23
A map that shows how rocks are made and changed.
24
What occurs when lava or magma are cooled?
25
Igneous rocks are formed.
26
Which type of rock would not exist without
weathering and deposition?
27
Sedimentary Rock.
28
What happens to rocks when they are exposed to
great pressure and heat?
29
They change into metamorphic rocks.
30
What type of rocks are limestone, sandstone, and
shale?
31
Sedimentary Rocks.
32
Where is lava found?
33
Outside the crust.
34
What is magma?
35
Melted rocks inside the mantle.
36
Name the line where volcanoes and earthquakes
occur.
37
A fault line.
38
What occurs when plates shift?
39
Earthquakes.
40
Where is crustal plate material being created?
41
Along divergent boundaries like the mid-ocean
ridges.
42
What type of rock are fossils found in?
43
Sedimentary.
44
Why are fossils important?
45
They tell how the earth has changed.
46
What is run off?
47
Water that does not soak into the ground as
ground water, but flows over the surface and back
to the ocean.
48
What and where is the San Andreas Fault?
49
It is a sliding boundary fault in California.
50
Name the scientist who developed the theory of
Plate Tectonics.
51
Alfred Wegener.
