Geology

The PROCESS rocks and soil go through when they are broken down into smaller parts

• weathering

• washing

• whatchamacallit

• crust

NGSS.MS-ESS2-2

The type of ROCK that forms when lava or magma cools

• iguana

• igneous

• ice

• inner core

when the earth's PLATES slide past each other in OPPOSITE directions

• tectonic

  boundary

• tiarra

  boundary

• transform boundary

• titanic

  boundary

small pieces of rock and soil

• slime

• sierra

• sand

• sediment

NGSS.4-ESS2-1

A type of ROCK formed by heat and pressure (remember the crayon lab-lots of layers with heat from oven and pressure when you squeezed it down)

• Metamorphic

  Rock

• Igneous

  Rock

• Sedimentary

  Rock

• Lava

  Rock

This layer of the earth is a SOLID ball of iron and nickel

• pizza crust

• inner core

• outer core

• mantle

The line or space that runs between the 2 tectonic plates (remember the graham cracker and icing lab!)

• fee-fi-fo

• equator

• fault

• tectonics

NGSS.MS-ESS2-3

When sediments (rocks, dirt, grass clippings, etc) are moved from one place to another

• tornado

• earthquake

• acid rain

• erosion

Tags

NGSS.MS-ESS2-2

When the earth's plates move TOWARDS one another (remember what I told you about it takes 2 people coming together to have a CONVERstation)

• convergent boundary

• fault

  boundary

• igneous boundary

• transform

  boundary

NGSS.MS-ESS2-3

The thin, most outerlayer of the earth (the part we can see-I have given you a food analogy for this!!)

• inner core

• crust

• outer core

• mantle
