What is compaction?
is the gluing of rocks together due to the mineral sediments and chemical changes undergone by sediment.
is rocks formed by uneven pressure that deforms them, making it appear to have stripes.
the pressing down of layers of sediment due to the weight of layers above them.
What is cementation?
is the gluing of rocks together due to the mineral sediments and chemical changes undergone by sediment.
is rocks formed by uneven pressure that deforms them, making it appear to have stripes.
the pressing down of layers of sediment due to the weight of layers above them.
What is foliation?
is the gluing of rocks together due to the mineral sediments and chemical changes undergone by sediment.
is rocks formed by uneven pressure that deforms them, making it appear to have stripes.
the pressing down of layers of sediment due to the weight of layers above them.

the top layer
The bottom layer
What causes the lithosphere and crust to move?
Earth's layer
mantle movement
convection currents
lava lakes

Which limitation of the model does NOT apply?
Shape- egg an elliptical sphere (oval but 3D,) Earth is a sphere
Layers- The Earth has the same number of layers as the egg
Temperature- egg does not show heat, Earth has a variety of temperatures
Scale- The size of Earth’s layers is not exactly proportional to the egg
Which strength of the model does NOT apply?
Egg shell is thin, like how Earth’s crust is thin
Egg has the same temperature of Earth
Egg can be core sampled similar to how geologist’s study the Earth
Egg has layers, Earth has layers
What are Earth’s Tectonic Plates and what are they made up of?
rock: the crust and lithosphere are broken up into plates

very slowly but moves constantly
very slowly but moves quickly
What is subduction?
when 2 plates collide into each other and sink together
when one plate slides beneath the other
when 2 plates collide into each other and raise up
when 2 plates go in separate directions
