• Granite

• Sedimentary Rock

• Igneous Rock

• Metamorphic Rock

• Continental Drift

The movement of matter due to differences in density that are caused by temperature variations.

• Continental Drift

• Mantle

• Convection

• Plate Boundary

• Rock Cycle

The hypothesis that a single large landmass broke up into smaller land masses to form the continents

• Erosion

• Subduction

• Continental Drift

• Plate Boundary

A naturally formed, inorganic solid with a crystalline structure

• Rock Cycle

• Metamorphic

• Igneous Rock

• Sedimentary Rock

• Mineral

The series of processes in which rock forms, changes from one type to another, is destroyed, and forms again by geologic processes

• Geological Time

• Erosion

• Rock Cycle

• Convection

• Weathering

A rock that forms from compressed or cemented layers of sediment

• Sedimentary Rock

• Metamorphic Rick

• Geological Time

• Rock Cycle

• Igneous Rock

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

• Continental Drift

• Igneous Rock

• Lithosphere

• Erosion

• Asthenosphere

The standard method used to divide Earth’s long natural history into manageable parts - eons, eras, periods, and epochs

• Epochs and Erosion

• Geological Time

• Lithosphere

• Asthenosphere

• Subduction

Divergent boundaries occur when two plates are

• moving towards each other

• moving away from each other

• sliding past each other

The three types of plate boundaries are

• Convergent, divergent, change

• Convergent, divergent, transform

• Divergent, allegiant, insurgent

• Push, pull, slide
