ways that rocks change form one form to another.
different Elements
Igneous rock gets weathered, the weathered pieces are called sediments, sediments form layers, over time layers are puched together and form sedimentary rock
the moving of soil and weathered rock
A large section of earth's surface made of crust and the top part of the mantle
Pangaea
deltas, sand dunes, sandy beaches
2 plates push together, one go under the other, it melts and forms lava which gets pushed to the surface.
igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic
crust
2 plates push together, both push upwards causing the rock to wrinkle and form a mountain.
the process that breaks down and changes rocks
area in which the continental or oceanic crust dives under another layer.
the dropping of materials moved by erosion
2 plate rub against each other, pressure builds up and causes sudden movement
air, ice, water, chemicals, living things
Lithosphere
inner core, outer core, lower mantle
moving water, wind
inner core, outer core, lower mantle, upper mantle, asthenosphere, lithosphere, crust
transform
center thickest layer made of iron and nickel, middle layer made mostly of melted rock, thin outer layer made of rocks minerals and soil
Sedimentary Rock
That earth's surface is broken into plates that can move.
