The processes by which granite breaks down to sediment.

What are Erosion and Weathering?

The type of rock that INTENSE PRESSURE creates.

What is Metamorphic?

Slate become this when it is heated.

What is Magma?

Limestone, chalk and sandstone are this type of rock that form from sediments.

What is Sedimentary rock?

These are rocks that solidified directly from molten silicates (i.e., magma). Examples are granite, basalt, pumice and flint.

What is Igneous rock?

This is Canada’s oldest landform.

What is the Canadian Shield?

The Rocky Mountains are found in this landform.

What is the Western Cordillera?

This landform is Canada’s oldest Highland landform.

What is the Appalachian Highlands?

This western landform has deep fiords.

What is the Western Cordillera?

This landform has the nickname “Canada’s Heartland.”

What is the St. Lawrence and Great Lakes Lowlands?

The temperature is about 4,800 O C. The pressure is over 3.6 million times the pressure at the Earth’s surface. Gravity is ZERO.

What is the centre of the Earth?

Wegener proposed this theory to explain the shape of the Earth’s land masses.

What is Continental Drift?

One large land mass

What is Pangaea?

The movement of the Earth’s plates by convection currents in the semi-molten layer of the Mantle

What is Plate Tectonics?

Constantly changing due to forces such as erosion and deposition, this outermost layer of the Earth is between 6 and 100 km thick.

What is the Crust?

Called the Age of Mammals, we live in this short and most recent Geological Era.

What is Cenozoic?

Canada’s oldest landform, the Canadian Shield, was formed in this ancient Geological Era.

What is Precambrian?

The era when the Pangaea formed.

What is Paleozoic?

4.6 billion years

What is the age of the Earth?

The period represents 87% of Earth’s geological time, and during this period, Earth’s atmosphere began to convert from carbon dioxide and methane to oxygen

What is the Precambrian?

The centre made mostly of iron.

What is the Inner Core?

The layer we live on.

What is the Crust?

Magma is found here.

What is the Mantle?

Between 6 and 100 kilometres thick

What is the Crust?

Four

What is the number of layers in the Earth?
