Lesson 9 & 10: Intro to Earth Science HS

a theory of global tectonics in which the lithosphere is divided into a number of crustal plates, each of which moves on the plastic asthenosphere more or less independently to collide with, slide under, or move past adjacent plates

What is weathering?

• The process by which
  water, ice, wind or gravity
  moves fragments of rock
  and soil.
• The process by which
  water, ice, wind or gravity
  deposit rock sediments
  and soil in a new place.
• The breaking down of
  Earth’s crust into smaller
  and smaller pieces.
