Earth Science Flashcard

Heat and pressure.

Hot material rises at mid-ocean ridges and sinks at deep sea trenches.

The correct order is 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Extrusive rocks are formed from lava cooling and solidifying on the Earth's surface.

They can infer that water once covered the area.

Erosion is the process by which soil and rock are removed from the Earth's surface by natural processes such as wind or water.

Intrusive rocks form from magma cooling slowly beneath the Earth's surface, while extrusive rocks form from lava cooling quickly on the surface.

The rock cycle is the continuous process of rock formation, breakdown, and reformation through processes like melting, cooling, erosion, and compaction.

Sedimentary rock is formed from the accumulation and compaction of mineral and organic particles.

Fossils provide evidence of past life and can indicate the environmental conditions of the Earth at that time.
