  • Formed through deposition and cremation of fragments of other rocks, organic matter, and minerals Strata - Correct Answer layers of sediment that get pressed into a solid over time when more sediment settles on top Sedimentary rocks are further classified as - Correct Answer - Clastic/Detrital
  • Biochemical
  • Chemical -Other Clastic/Detrital Sedimentary Rocks - Correct Answer Composed of other inorganic rocks or organic particles Biochemical sedimentary rocks - Correct Answer Have an organic component like coal which is composed of decayed plant matter Chemical sedimentary rocks - Correct Answer Form from a solution containing dissolved materials that became supersaturated and minerals precipitate out of solution.

Hypabyssal igneous rock - Correct Answer Formed at levels between intrusive and extrusive (just below the surface) they aren't nearly as common Metamorphic rocks - Correct Answer Made when heat, pressure, or fluids change one type of rock into another type of rock (sedimentary, igneous, or other metamorphic rocks) caused by physical and /or chemical change Metamorphic rock classification - Correct Answer foliated and non-foliated foliated metamorphic rock - Correct Answer Layered or folded, which means they form from compression in one direction and result in visible or banding within the rock (Ex. gneiss or slate) Non-Foliated Metamorphic Rock - Correct Answer Receive equals pressure from all directions and thus have a homogenous appearance (Ex. marble) "other rocks" - Correct Answer rocks that cannot fit into the criteria of the three rock type category (ex. fossil)

Fossil - Correct Answer A rock formed from the remains or impression of dead plants or animals, does not fit into biochemical class of rock because fossils themselves are WHOLLY composed of organic material and only formed under strict conditions, although they are commonly found within sedimentary rock plate tectonics - Correct Answer a theory explaining the structure of the earth's crust and many associated phenomena as resulting from the interaction of rigid lithospheric plates that move slowly over the underlying mantle. Lithosphere - Correct Answer the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle. Asthenosphere - Correct Answer The soft layer of the mantle on which the lithosphere floats. How many major and minor plates? - Correct Answer 9- major 40+ minor

  • Pacific
  • Australian
  • Antarctic
  • South American
  • African
  • Indian Pangea - Correct Answer A supercontinent containing all of Earth's land that existed about 225 million years ago. Earths shape - Correct Answer slightly ellipsoid or oblong (like a football) Earth is divided into 3 layers - Correct Answer crust, mantle, core Crust and core - Correct Answer solid Mantle - Correct Answer The layer of hot, solid material between Earth's crust and core.

convergant boundaries - Correct Answer plates can rise to mountain ranges Subduction - Correct Answer One plate going under another plate, happens in convergent boundaries where oceanic and continental plates converge and the denser oceanic plate sinks below the continental plate Hot spots can occur - Correct Answer within either continental or oceanic plates, when reaching the surface a volcano forms Earthquakes are caused by - Correct Answer movement of tectonic plates/ sliding or colliding/ friction can cause an earthquake Geography - Correct Answer the study of the earth's layout and features Meridians - Correct Answer - vertical lines that measure east to west and are described as longitudinal.
