1. Rocks, Rock Cycle and Layers of the Earth Review

2. Igneous Rock
Forms when hot liquid/magma cools and hardens

3. Sedimentary Rock
Forms when rocks are broken down into smaller pieces and harden

4. Metamorphic Rock
Forms when rock is heated or squeezed

5. Rock Cycle
Continual process by which new rocks form from old rocks

6. Rock
Solid mixture of crystals of one or more minerals

7. Weathering
Breaking of rocks into smaller pieces

8. Erosion
Wind, Water, and Ice break off and carry grains of rock

9. Deposition
Process of water, ice, and gravity dropping newly formed sediments

10. Composition
Chemical make up of an object or combo of minerals made of

Crust and Upper Mantle of the Earth
Lithosphere

12. Asthenosphere
Region below the Lithosphere

13. Mantle Portion of Earth between Crust and Core
Upper, Middle, and Lower
