Geology

6. The study of earth and what it’s made of and does.
7. Earth's solid outer layer, including landforms like mountains and continents.
8. Process of formation, movement, and destruction of Earth's tectonic plates.
10. Crust beneath the oceans, primarily made of basalt and is thinner and denser.
11. thicker, less dense part of Earth's crust that forms the continents.
12. Process by which rocks are transformed between different types.
14. Principle that the Earth's processes, such as erosion and sedimentation, have operated in the same way throughout geological time.
15. layer of gases surrounding Earth.

1. Continuous movement of water on, above, and below Earth's surface.
2. Part of Earth where life exists, including land, water, and the atmosphere.
3. Earth's solid, innermost layer, consisting of iron and nickel.
4. Large plates that move and interact.
5. All the water on Earth, including oceans, rivers, lakes, and ice.
9. Solid, outer layer of Earth that includes both the crust and the upper part of the mantle, responsible for tectonic activity.
13. Earth's outermost layer, composed of solid rock, and is thinner than the layers beneath it.
16. Largest layer of Earth beneath the crust, composed of semi-solid rock.
