  1. 3. (Plutonic) – below surface (slow) • coarse texture - atoms bond slowly to form crystals • magma solidifies underground
  2. 4. (Volcanic) – above surface (fast) • fine texture - atoms bond quickly until solidification • volcanic eruptions (lava)
  3. 7. texture • visible, identifiable crystals) • slow cooling (intrusive)
  4. 9. All water on the Earth, 71% of Earth’s surface
  5. 11. All life on earth
  6. 13. All rocks on Earth
  7. 15. Layers according to chemical composition: low density rocks 5-70 km thick, 1.4% volume
  8. 17. rock solid mass of mineral or “mineral-like” matter that occurs naturally on Earth. Categorized by origin.
  9. 18. Layers according to physical properties: cool, rigid outer shell • ~100 km thick (crust + upper mantle) • brittle behavior, rigid
Down
  1. 1. Layers according to physical properties: below lithosphere • hot, weak • plastic behavior
  2. 2. a naturally occurring, inorganic solid with an orderly (repetitive) crystalline structure, and a definite chemical composition. (Test those 5)
  3. 3. Layers according to physical properties: solid
