Unit E Planet Earth

thick layer of semi-molten rock between Earth's crust and core

• Tectonic Plate

• Mantle

• Fault

• Pangea

Where tectonics plates are colliding with each other

• transform boundary

• diverging boundary

• converging boundary

point beneath earth's surface where rock breaks under stress and causes an earthquake

• focus

• epicenter

• seismograph

• volcano

process by which wind, water, ice, or gravity transports soil and sediment from one location to another

• erosion

• sediment

• diverging boundary

• fault
