A naturally formed combination of minerals and other natural materials.

A molecule that is made of one or more atoms of different elements.

Rock formed from magma or lava.

Rock formed from compacted sediment.

Rock formed from existing rock; heat and pressure cause the minerals to form new combinations or new crystals.

Molten rock within Earth.

Layers of sedimentary rock.

The continuous process of change in which new rocks are formed from old rock materials.

The movement of Earth’s plates that can cause rock layers to move.

Evidence of past life that have been preserved in rocks.

The exact age of something.

The age of something based on its placement.

When molten rock from inside Earth moves through cracks in the rock layers. This molten rock will sometimes reach and break through the surface.

When rocks are broken down into smaller pieces.

When sediment stops moving and collects in a new area.

When small pieces of rock (sediment) are moved around by wind and/or water.

Rock that forms when sediment from erosion is compressed together.

Arrangement of events used as a measure of the relative or absolute age of any part of geologic time.

The outer most layer of the Earth. This is the layer we walk on.

Slowly moving pieces of Earth’s crust.

Movement caused by warm fluids rising and cooler fluids sinking.

A boundary of two tectonic plates where the plates move away from each other.

A boundary of two tectonic plates where the plates move towards each other.

A boundary of two tectonic plates where the plates slide past each other.

When one tectonic plate converges under another due to density differences.

When two tectonic plates slowly crash into each other and mountains are formed.

The name given to the super continent from the well-supported theory that all the continents used to be connected as one.

A Seismologist is a scientist who studies

This is a picture of what before separation?

This picture was in the slide show. What are we looking at?

The theory that the Earth's lithosphere is divided into large, moving plates that interact with each other at their boundaries.

Partially melted portion of the mantle below the lithosphere.

This forms a rigid shell outside of Earth that is broken down into what is known as tectonic plates.

The vibrations caused by a rupture and sudden movement of rocks along a break or a crack in Earth’s crust.

A crack or a fracture in Earth’s crust along with where movement occurs.

Convergent plate can have this:

Vents in Earth’s crust through which molten rock flows.

Long, narrow mountains formed by magma at Divergent boundaries.

Is the process of breaking down rock WITHOUT changing the composition of the rock.

The process that CHANGES the composition of rocks.

Large masses of ice, formed by snow accumulation on land, that move slowly across Earth’s Surface.
