Answers Elementary Education Study Guide Biology Chemistry
Physics Earth Science Complete Review.
Plate tectonics Movement of continents and changes in the
Earth's crust caused by internal forces
Atmosphere dry gas (nitrogen, oxygen, argon carbon
dioxide), water vapor, solid particles
Troposphere closest to Earth's surface (weather related
activities)
Stratosphere Very little water, ozone layer
Mesosphere Coldest layer
Thermosphere Layer extends upward into space
Mountains are caused by... volcanic action or tectonic plate collisions
Folding folding of rock layers, usually sedimentary rocks

Volcanoes are... the movement of magma through the crust
and its emergence as lava onto the Earth's
surface
Active, Dormant, Extinct, and currently/building up to an eruption, between
volcanoes eruptions but internal activity, and no longer
erupting
Igneous rock formation Intrusive: formed below Earth's surface.
Extrusive: formed at Earth's surface
Sedimentary Rocks created when fluid sediments are transformed
into solid rocks. Cementation is when
sediments are converted to sedimentary rocks
Igneous Rocks classified according to their texture,
composition, and the way they formed. Made
from magma (molten Rock)
Metamorphic rocks formed by high temperatures and great
pressure. Process is called metamorphism.
Minerals natural, nonliving solids with a defined
chemical composition and crystalline structure
Glaciers bodies of ice that move over the land due to
gravity.
Fossil remains or trace of an ancient organism
Erosion transportation of surface materials by another
moveable material (water, wind, ice)
