the study of the earth
the area between where the upper mantle meets the lower mantle
(also called the Gutenberg discontinuity) lies roughly 1800 miles beneath the surface and marks the bottom of the mantle
a region of the earth's crust and the upper mantle
a theory that all the contents were connected together into one huge land mass that, over time, drifted into separate, smaller continents that we know today
rocks that bend downward during the folding process to form a trough-like structure
rocks that buckle upward during folding to form an arch-like structure
a mountain that forms when molten rock erupts from a hole in the earth's crust
mountains that appear to form when molten rock is forced beneath an overlying rock layer
an earthquake that results from sudden movements of rock beneath the earth's surface
a weak earthquake
smaller earthquakes that follow an earthquake at frequent intervals for days or even months, gradually decreasing in intensity
the study of earthquakes
the point at which an earthquake begins
epicenter
an opening in the earth's surface thorugh which hot gases, ash, and molten rock are ejected from the earth's interior
molten rock inside a volcano
any substance emitted by an active volcano
the Hawaiian term for "ropy" lava
The Hawaiian term for lava that hardens into rough, jagged rocks with a crumbly texture
particles or blocks of solid volcanic ejecta
huge, bowl-shaped craters that are produced by volcanoes
horizontal formations which form when the surface of a large lava flow hardens but the lava beneath remains molten and continues to flow
masses of volcanic rock beneath the surface that are formed when magma forces its way through cracks and weak spots in the rocks surrounding the magma chamber and solidify
the most abundant element in the earth's crust
the three major kinds of faults
San Andreas
the belt where over half of the world's active volcanos are found
an igneous intrusion similar to, but larger than, a laccolith
domelike intrusion produced when magma bulges the overlying rocks upwards
the study of the matter and movement of God's physical creation
the substance of the physical world; anything that occupies space or has substance
the study of soil
an organized way for scientists to gather and pursue scientific knowledge; its main components are hypothesizing, observing, and experimenting.
a sensible explanation about the objects and events of nature
conditions that stay the same in both the control group and the experimental group
conditions present only in an experimental group
the most basic units of matter
atoms that are linked together in groups
a measurement of the amount of matter in an object
a measurement of the pull of gravity on an object
a measurement of the amount of space that matter takes up
a measurement of how tightly packed matter is
material primarily derived from nonliving matter
material primarily derived from nonliving matter
the processes that break rocks down into soil
a layer of solid rock below the subsoil
contains a range of sand, silt, clay, and humus mixtures
a scale used to express the degree of acidity or basicity of a substance
substances composed of only one type of atom
substances containing two or more elements bonded together
bacteria that get their name from the process of nitrogen fixation, which converts elemental nitrogen into nitrogen compounds
provide oxygen to the roots in the soil
any collected water below the soil's surface
"holding tanks" that collect ground water in layers of either porous rock or a gravel-soil mixture
a self-pumping well that occurs when water rises above the impermeable rock of an aquifer
the upward movement of water through a tiny space in response to surface tension
the reusing of old materials
the upper surface of ground water
