what is one of the most powerful causes of erosion?

a mineral can be a:

tiny earthquakes that happen after the main earthquake

a type of fossil where deposits of a hard mineral (silica) replaces the bones of the organism

when minerals break apart in a flakey layered way it is known as:

which is not an example of evidence for continental drift?

a method of measurement that describes the magnitude of an earthquake:

old mountains would be

these machines measure earthquakes

this rock is formed below the earth's surface with a lot of pressure and heat, it changes form

what is the correct order from largest to smallest?

this wave travels the fastest

this type of rock forms magma or lava cools and solidifies.

when mountains are formed from folding, the upper fold is known as the

the colour of the powdered form of a mineral left behind when scraped along a plate

volcanoes around the pacific ocean which formed in a circular fashion are known as:

the place deep in the earth's crust where an earthquake begins

acid rain causes:

when two continental plates come together a:

rocks continue to change in no particular order through a process called the

fossil fuels form from

visible layers in sedimentary rock is known as

what is the proper order starting at the center of the earth?

this type of earthquake wave does the most damage

which of the following is not used to identify a mineral

one explanation of why plates move is because of ____________ currents

earthquakes that occur under plates in the ocean cause

when two plates converge, and one plate is shoved under the other, this is known as:

a fossil where the actual organism is preserved

new rock being formed in the ocean forming mid-ocean ridges is known as:

when volcanoes are not active.. they are known to be

which is not a type of fossil discussed in class?

magma that cools below the earth's surface is known as:

the surface directly located above where the earthquake originates is known as the:

these types of fossils are evidence of animal activities and behaviours

which of the following is not considered a fossil fuel?

which object has similar layers as the earth?

frost-wedging is an example of:

this type of rock has obvious layers, and is formed from sediments being compacted together

to test how strong a mineral is, this test is conducted:

the main difference between lava and magma is:

if you were to compare an egg to the layers of the earth, which part would be the crust?

the super continent that existed a very long time ago is known as:

two plates pulling apart:
