Question

Core

Cycle of creation, destruction, and metamorphosis

Hot, pliable layer surrounding the core. Less dense than core.

Relatively cool, lightweight, brittle outermost layer. “Floats” on top of mantle

A solid, cohesive aggregate of one or more minerals

The study of the processes that shape the Earth’s surface and the structures they create

When an oceanic plate collides with a continental landmass, the continental plate will ride up over the seafloor

Deadly clouds of hot gas and ash like those that destroyed Pompeii. Their temperatures exceed 1,000 degrees Celsius, they move at 60 MPH, and can kill in minutes

Deposition of particles of rock transported by wind, water, ice, and gravity until they come to rest in a new location

Interior composed of dense, intensely hot metal, mostly iron. Generates magnetic field enveloping the Earth

Naturally occurring, inorganic, solid element or compound with a definite chemical composition and regular internal crystal structure
