What is a rock?
A naturally formed solid made of minerals
100
What are the characteristics of the crust?
Thinnest layer of the Earth, separated into two parts continental, and oceanic crust
100
What is a tectonic plate?
A floating piece of the lithosphere that moves on the asthenosphere
100
What forms at a convergent boundary?
A mountain range
200
What are the tests used to identify minerals?
Color, luster, cleavage & fracture, streak, hardness, special properties, density
200
What is the rock cycle?
The process in which a new rock forms from an old rock
200
What are the characteristics of the mantle?
Thickest layer of the Earth, separated into 3 layers the lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere
200
What is sea-floor spreading?
The process in which new oceanic lithosphere forms
200
What forms at a divergent boundary?
A mid-ocean ridge and possibly a volcano
300
What are 2 minerals that can scratch calcite?
Quartz and topaz
300
How to create a sedimentary rock?
Go through weathering & erosion, deposition, and compact action and cementation

Outer layer of the core and has melted iron
300
Where is ocean floor new and old?
It is new near the mid-ocean ridge and old near a trench
300
What forms at a transform boundary?

400
What is a mineral?
A naturally formed solid that has a crystalline structure
400
How to create a metamorphic rock?
Go through heat & pressure
400
What are the characteristics of the inner core?
Center of the Earth and is a solid ball of iron
400
What is continental drift?
A theory in which all the continents came together and broke apart
400
Why do rocks in the mantle move from top to bottom?
They move to the top because rocks harden and go to the top, they cool and sink down
500
How to create an igneous rock?
Go through melting & cooling
500
What are the 5 physical layers of the Earth?
Lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer core, and inner core
500
What is deformation?
The process in which rocks change shape because of stress
