Earth Science Assignment

4. a process that displaces rock layers when surfaces on either side of a crack in the Earth's surface shift
7. the process that occurs when two plates converge, causing the crust to fold over onto itself
8. a plate boundary where two plates collide
9. a destructive natural process through which rock and soil are loosened and removed from the Earth's surface
10. pulled under the other tectonic plate at a convergent plate boundary
11. any change to the Earth's crust that results from two tectonic plates converging
12. a landform that results when increased pressure is put on rock layers, causing them to fold upward
13. the slope of a river or stream
14. a slow, broad, upward movement of the Earth's surface
15. a rock created with deposited sediments usually a rock with fossils preserved in them
19. processes that help to build, shape, or initiate geological features such as mountains and volcanoes
20. a landform that results when increased pressure is put on rock layers, causing them to fold downward

1. a rock created from cooled molten magma
2. the feature that forms where a stream or river ends and deposits sediments on land
3. circular movement of molten magma that causes tectonic plates to shift
5. processes such as landslides or stream erosion that break down or wash away the surface of geological features
6. particles of sand, stone, or dirt that are removed from the Earth's surface and deposited elsewhere
16. the feature that forms when sediment is carried from a stream or river into another body of water
17. the area extending from a stream to its valley walls, where sedimet is deposited when the stream overflows
18. a rock created with extreme heat and pressure
