What is a destructive process?

Earthquakes, volcanoes, erosion, weathering, impact of organisms

How do humans break down the earth’s crust?

Destroying soil, over harvesting, over grazing animals, adding chemicals to air that dissolve into soil, pollution.

Name a destructive process that happens very quickly

Earthquake, landslide, sink hole, mud slide

What destructive process causes a landslide?

Erosion

What is eroded rock called?

Sediment

Name a constructive process.

Earthquakes, volcanoes, deposition, deltas, sand dunes,

There is always a lot of destruction when an earthquake happens or a volcano erupts. Why are they also constructive forces?

When volcanoes erupt the larva hardens and creates new land When volcanoes erupt the larva hardens and creates new land. Every time the volcanoes erupt in Hawaii, the islands are actually getting bigger! When earthquakes happen, they create new land too! Some land is destroyed, while other areas shift or move and new land is made.

Where would deposition happen?

Glaciers, streams, sides of river banks Glaciers, streams, sides of river banks. Anywhere where sediment is dropped by wind or water

The vibrations inside the earth are called what?

Seismic Waves

They move a little every year, they have been drifting for centuries. What are they?

Plate Tectonics

What does this picture show?

Chemical Weathering

What does this arrow show?

Larva

What does this picture show?

Plate Tectonics

What does this picture show and what happens here? BE EXACT!

Ring of Fire, area where lots of plates meet so you’ll find lots of volcanic and seismic activity (lots of earthquakes and volcano eruptions)

What is this a picture of and what might happen here?

Fault line. Earthquake may happen around this area or lots of seismic activity.

What is a scientist who studies rocks to tell how they formed and to predict when an earthquake may occur called?

What is a Geologist?

What is the Earth’s water?

Hydrosphere

What is the dropping off of bits of eroded rock?

Deposition

The blanket of gases that surrounds Earth

Atmosphere

What is the hard, outer layer of the Earth called?

Lithosphere

Pressure builds up under the earth Pressure builds up under the earth. Magma begins to rise and will soon burst through the vent. What happens next?

Magma will turn into larva. Volcano will erupt. Magma will turn into larva.

Over time, two tectonic plates collide and force layers of rock into folds. Eventually, what forms?

Fold Mountains

What is this an example of? A city has a LOTS of factories. The pollution increases and rain starts to fall. What eventually happens to the city’s statutes made of marble and limestone and why? What is this an example of?

Statues eventually start to dissolve because of the acid rain. This is an example of chemical weathering.

Two plates grind together and build up stress Two plates grind together and build up stress. When the plates eventually release the stress built up between them, what happens?

Earthquake

It measured 2.1 on the Richter Scale. What has just happened and what would you expect to see if you looked outside / in the room?

Weak earthquake. Some people might have felt it, but not many Weak earthquake. Some people might have felt it, but not many. There would be no major damage. No buildings would be damaged, no noticeable change outside.
