Unit 5 vocab

2. A body of molten rock found at depth, including any dissolved gases and crystals.
6. the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle.
7. rock rock formed from the weathered products of preexisting rocks that have been transported, deposited, compacted and cemented.
8. loose particles created by weathering and erosion of rock
10. A liquid's resistance to flowing -or- the thickness of a liquid
11. a rock formed by the crystallization of molten magma
12. The soft upper layer of the mantle just below the lithosphere. Lithospheric plates float on top of it.
15. A naturally occurring solid mixture of one or more minerals or organic matter
19. magma that reaches Earth's surface
20. the transportation of material by a mobile agent, such as wind, water, or ice
21. A natural resource that is consumed faster or above the rate in which it is replaced.
23. a naturally occurring, inorganic solid that has a crystal structure and a definite chemical composition
24. A plate boundary where two plates move toward each other.
25. rock formed by the alteration of preexisting, solid rock deep within the Earth by heat, pressure, and/or chemically active fluids

1. a fracture in Earth along which movement has occurred
3. The process in which rock is physically broken into smaller pieces; no change in rock composition.
4. A plate boundary where two plates move away from each other.
5. The process in which rock is broken down by chemical reactions; changes the rock's molecular composition
9. a concentration of heat in the mantle capable of producing magma, which rises to Earth's surface
13. vibrations that travel through Earth carrying the energy released during an earthquake
14. the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake
15. A natural resource that can be replaced at the same or below rate at which the resource is consumed
16. A plate boundary where two plates move past each other in opposite directions
17. The point beneath Earth's surface where rock breaks under stress and causes an earthquake
18. the process by which plate tectonics produces new oceanic lithosphere at ocean ridges
22. A device that records ground movements caused by seismic waves as they move through Earth
