Row 1, Col 1 The largest layer, made up of semi-solid rock. What is the MANTLE?
1,2 The edges of Earth’s plates. What are PLATE BOUNDARIES?
1,3 The breaking down of rock due to physical forces. What is MECHANICAL WEATHERING?
1,4 Three of the seven properties used to classify minerals What are magnetism, hardness, luster, streak color, smell, shape, and texture?
2,1 The outermost and thinnest layer. What is the CRUST?
2,2 A destructive force that usually occurs at a fault along a plate boundary. What is an EARTHQUAKE?
2,3 Acid rain is cause of this. What is CHEMICAL WEATHERING?
2,4 The range of numbers from 1 to 10 that is used to determine the hardness of a mineral. What is the Mohs Scale?
3,1 A layer of solid iron, with temperatures over 7000 O C. What is the INNER CORE?
3,2 Most of these occur near colliding plate boundaries. What are VOLCANOES?
3,3 The wearing away of rocks by wind, water, and gravity. What is EROSION?
3,4 The rock type that results from the weathering, erosion, and cementation of smaller pieces. What is SEDIMENTARY ROCK?
4,1 The crust and the top portion of the mantle. What is the LITHOSPHERE?
4,2 A plate boundary that causes a rift valley. What is a SPREADING PLATE BOUNDARY?
4,3 Pieces of weathered rock, sand, and clay. What are SEDIMENTS?
4,4 Lava and magma cool to become this type of rock. What is IGNEOUS ROCK?
5,1 The only liquid layer of the Earth; its motion causes Earth’s magnetism. What is the OUTER CORE?
5,2 Molten rock found beneath the crust of the Earth. What is MAGMA?
5,3 The presence of this makes soil fertile. What is DECAYED MATTER or MATERIAL?
5,4 The processes that change other types of rocks into metamorphic rock. What are HEAT and PRESSURE?
