  1. Rocks, Rock Cycle, Layers of the Earth, & Plate tectonics Review

  2. Study of movement of large masses of rocks (plates) Plate tectonics

  3. Sections of lithosphere broken up that make outer most layer Earth pLATES

  4. Occurs when tectonic plates slide past each other earthquake

  5. When 2 plates collide and one sinks, melts, becomes lava and comes up through cracks volcano

  6. 2 plates move apart and form more ocean floor Ocean Basin

  7. 2 plates meet causing them to move up mountain

  8. Heat rising and cold sinking resulting in tectonic plate movement Convection currents

  9. Igneous • Outside and inside Earth • Near Volcanoes Where are rocks found?

  10. Sedimentary • Outside Earth on Canyons, Mountains, Sea Floor Where are rocks found?

  11. Metamorphic • Inside Earth; at Plate Tectonic Zones Where are rocks found?

  12. Draw a diagram of convection currents COLD COLD HEAT

  13. Igneous Rock • Melts to Magma • Cools What steps for the rock to form?

  14. Sedimentary Rock • Weathering/Erosion • Deposition • Compaction • Cementation What steps for the rock to form?

  15. Metamorphic Rock • Heat • Pressure What steps for the rock to form?

  16. Continental Crust • Oceanic Crust • Upper Mantle • Middle Mantle • Lower Mantle • Outer Core • Inner Core List of Layers outer to inner: Lithosphere Asthenosphere • What happens in this layer? • Convection Currents

  17. Plates What do you call the broken pieces of crust?

  18. Lithosphere What layer of earth do we find the tectonic plates?

  19. Convection Currents What causes the tectonic plates to move?

  20. Mountains or Volcanoes What type of geological event is produced in the below scenarios: Ocean Basins Earthquakes

  21. If I were diving over the mid ocean ridge If you were observing a volcano If you felt the Earth shaking If you were vacationing in the mountains List the motion of the plates underneath you in the below scenarios:

  22. Forms when hot liquid/magma cools and hardens Igneous Rock

  23. Forms when rocks are broken down into smaller pieces and harden Sedimentary Rock

  24. Forms when rock is heated or squeezed Metamorphic Rock

  25. Continual process by which new rocks form from old rocks Rock Cycle

  26. Solid mixture of crystals of one or more minerals Rock

  27. Breaking of rocks into smaller pieces Weathering

  28. Wind, Water, and Ice break off and carry grains of rock Erosion

  29. Process of water, ice, and gravity dropping newly formed sediments Deposition

  30. Chemical make up of an object or combo of minerals made of Composition
