Earth Sciences

• The earth's crust is the outermost layer, which is made up of solid rock.
• The core consists of two parts - the inner core and the outer core.
• The mantle is the thickest part of the earth, composed mostly of magma (molten rock) that flows slowly beneath the surface.
• The mantle is the thickest part of the earth, composed mostly of magma (molten rock).
• The core consists of two parts - an inner core and an outer core.
• The lithosphere is the rigid outer shell of the earth, consisting of the crust and uppermost portion of the mantle.
• The lithosphere is composed of the crust and upper part of the mantle.
• The core is the innermost part of the planet, consisting of two layers - an inner solid core and an outer liquid core.
• The mantle lies between the crust and the core and makes up most of the volume of the planet.
• The mantle is the second layer beneath the crust, composed mainly of magma (molten rock) that flows slowly over time.
• The earth's crust is the outermost layer, which is made up of solid rock.
• The earth's crust is the outermost layer, which is made up of solid rock.
• There are three types of plate boundaries: divergent, convergent, and transform.
• There are three types of plate boundaries: divergent, convergent, and transform.
• The asthenosphere is the lower part of the lithosphere where rocks are less viscous and can flow more easily than those above it.
• The earth's crust is the outermost layer, which is made up of solid rock.
• Plate tectonics refers to the movement of large plates on the earth's surface.
• Plate tectonics refers to the movement of large plates on the earth's surface.
• The lithosphere is the rigid outer shell of the earth, including both the crust and upper portion of the mantle.
• Plate tectonics refers to the movement of large plates on the surface of the earth.
• Divergent plate boundaries occur when two plates move away from each other, creating new oceanic crust or extending continental landmasses.
• Asthenosphere - The lower part of the lithosphere where rocks are less viscous and can flow more easily than those above it.
• The core is the innermost layer of the earth, consisting mainly of molten iron and nickel.
• The lithosphere is the rigid outer shell of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper portion of the mantle.
• Transform boundary occurs when two plates slide past each other horizontally without any addition or removal of material.
• The mantle is the thickest layer of the earth, composed mostly of iron and magnesium silicate minerals.
• The inner core is the densest region of the earth, located at its center.
• Seismic waves are vibrations that travel through the earth following an earthquake or other disturbance.
• The core is the innermost layer of the earth, composed mainly of iron and nickel with some lighter elements mixed in.
• Transform boundaries occur when two plates slide past each other horizontally without any addition or removal of material.
• Convergent boundary occurs when two plates collide with each other, resulting in subduction where one plate moves under another.
• The mantle is the thickest layer of the earth, consisting mostly of iron and magnesium silicate minerals.
• Tectonic plates can be classified as oceanic or continental based on their composition.
• The lithosphere is the rigid outer shell of the earth, made up of the crust and uppermost part of the mantle.
• Convergent boundaries occur where tectonic plates collide, resulting in volcanic activity and mountain building.
• Plate tectonics refers to the movement of large pieces of the earth's lithosphere (crust) over time.
• Surface waves are slow-moving seismic waves that move along the surface of the earth.
• Constructive plate boundaries form where tectonic plates move apart from each other.
• S-waves (secondary waves) are seismic waves that move particles side to side perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer.
• Plate Tectonics Theory states that the earth's surface consists of several large pieces called plates that float on top of the asthenosphere.
