Terms in this set (247)
core Center of the earth; composed of iron and some
nickel; solid inner core & liquid outer core
mantle the layer of of earth outside the core; mostly solid
and makes up about 70% of Earth's volume
crust the rocky outer shell of the planet
lithosphere thin, upper part of the mantle and the outermost
crust; the rock consists of cooler, brittle rock
asthenosphere below the lithosphere; contains malleable rock that
can move over time
igneous rock molten magma that has cooled under Earth's
surface; associated with volcanic activity

sedimentary rock created by underwater sediments in the ocean
compacted by pressure as the sediment layer
builds up
metamorphic rock formed when either igneous or sedimentary rock is
subject to extreme heat and pressure
gases in the atmosphere Nitrogen - 78%
Oxygen - 21%
Argon - 0.9%
Carbon dioxide - 0.038%
troposphere near the surface of Earth; where weather takes
place and the location of almost all clouds;
pressure and temperature decrease with height in
this layer
stratosphere less dense and temperature increases with height;
absorbs much of the ultraviolet energy from the
sun
mesosphere temperature decreases with height; most meteors
burn up when entering
thermosphere extremely thin; an abundance of ions; temperature
increases with height
exosphere outer most layer; very few particles
ozone layer located in the lower part of the stratosphere;
absorbs nearly 99% of the sun's ultraviolet light

ionosphere Upper part of Earth's atmosphere
-encompasses both mesosphere and
thermosphere
barometer measure atmospheric pressure
aurora/australis borealis natural atmospheric light displays; result of Earth's
photons emitting light as they collide with solar
wind particles and regain electrons
hydrology The study of all water on Earth, including its
movement and distribution.
hydrosphere all the water on Earth's surface, groundwater, and
water in the atmosphere
waves formed by winds on the surface of bodies of water
tectonic plates plates in the lithosphere that shift causing
transformations to Earth's landscape
continental drift the gradual movement of the continents across the
earth's surface
Pangaea supercontinent
earthquakes destructive releases of energy in Earth's crust
caused by seismic waves
fault a fracture between two plates
epicenter The location on the surface directly above the
focus of the earthquake
