Earths system

1. no longer in existence
4. the outer part of earth. includes the crust and upper mantle
5. when magma flows through a crack in the middle of a tectonic plate and not a plate boundary.
6. move side to side through only solids travel slower than p
9. forms under extreme heat and pressure. appears twisted
11. the innermost layer of earth, divided into 2 parts, liquid outerand solid inner, made of iron and nickel
13. compress or squeeze through solids and liquids travel faster than s
16. the solid, outermost layer of earth, lying above the mantle
17. forms when molten rocks crystallize and solidifies. appears glassy
19. group of animals that occupy a certain area
23. is the study of earth
26. forms from pre-existing rock and fossils. appears layered
27. boundary where tectonic plates slide past each other
28. the layer that lies between earths crust and core, the majority of earths mass is in this layer
30. when a sudden release of energy in the lithosphere creates seismic waves
31. when heat, pressure, is cooling, melting, and weathering cause rocks to change from one type to another overtime

2. large pieces of lithosphere that the ocean and contients rest on
3. the lower part of earths mantle, below the asthenosphere
7. still in existence, surviving species
8. boundary where tectonic plates collide
10. the movement caused within a fluid when the hotter, less dense material rises and colder, denser material to sink
12. below the lithosphere, hotter and more fluid part of mantle
14. occurs when divergent plates seperate, convection currents cause less dense material to rise, creates new ocean floor
15. the study of earthquakes and related phenomena
18. boundary where tectonic plates divide
20. the subcontinent that existed before continents separated
21. a tool that measures/records details of earthquakes
22. form at convergent boundaries where one plate subducts under another, and magma underground is pushed upward
24. a solid inorganic material found in nature
25. water held underground in the soil in deep reserviors
29. fuel petroleum, natural gas, coal. made from remains of plants & animals
