What are the 4 layers of the Earth? Start with the outermost (surface layer) and work your way towards the center of the Earth.
Crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core
What do the convection currents in the outer core produce? (Hint: it helps make compasses work)
The convection currents in the outer core are responsible for creating Earth’s magnetic field.
Two tectonic plates are crashing into each other and one sinks below the other to create a subduction zone. What type of plate boundary forms a subduction zone? (convergent, divergent, or transform?)
Convergent plate boundary
What type of rock is formed through the process of heat and pressure? (Hint: this type of rock will often have wavy lines)
metamorphic rock
What type of rock is pictured in position 1?
Igneous rock
How are sedimentary rocks formed? What processes need to take place?
Weathering and erosion cause sediments to form which are then deposited, compacted, and cemented together to form sedimentary rock.
