[ ] Oxidation the breakdown of rocks by oxygen and water(rusty colored)-TT

[ ] Freeze thaw occurs when water continually seeps into cracks freezes and expands eventually breaking
the rock part-TT
[ ] Erosion is the process by which soil and rock particles are worn away and moved elsewhere by wind
water ice-TT
[ ] Chemical weathering is caused by rainwater with the mineral grains in rocks to form new minerals
and soluble salts-TT
[ ] Trees whose roots are sleeping in soil and rocks creating cracks and joints is an example of biological
weathering-TT
[ ] Weathering is the breaking of rocks at the earth surface-TT
[ ] There are five types of weathering-FF
[ ] The breakdown of rocks by acidic water to produce clay and soluble salts-FF
[ ] Biological weathering is caused by the effects of changing temperature on rocks causing the rock to
break-FF
[ ] Carbonic acid is a strong acid-FF
[ ] Virtually all of the igneous rocks that we see on earth are derived from magma that formed from
partial melting of existing rock either in the upper mantle or the crust- TT
[ ] Magmas derived from the mantle of higher levels of oxygen and silicon but they're still likely to be
dominated by iron and nickel-FF
[ ] Magma is the mixture of liquid rock minerals and dissolved gases-TT
[ ] Most rocks begin to melt at a temperature between 800 and 1200 degrees celsius-TT
[ ] Temperature is not a major factor in the formation of magma-FF
[ ] Rock falls are large masses of rock and soil that slide along the ground surface-TT
[ ] A mass movement, also called Mass Wasting, bulk movements of soil and rock debris down slopes in
response to the pull of gravity, or the rapid or gradual sinking of the Earth's ground surface in a
predominantly vertical direction-TT
[ ] Rockfalls are rocks that fall freely through the air intermittently bouncing on the ground-TT
[ ] Ice wedging causes mass movements-Ice wedging causes mass movements-TT
[ ] Debris flow is consist of material saturated with water that moves as a fluid mass-TT
[ ] Stress is the force applied to an object-TT
[ ] Extreme pressure may also lead to the facilitation the flat layers that form in rocks as the rocks are
squeezed by pressure-FF
[ ] Changes in enormous quantities of rock over a wide area caused by the extreme pressure from
overlying rock or from compression caused by geologic processes.-TT
[ ] The temperature is a measure of the stress the physical force being applied to the surface of a
material-FF
[ ] A strain is any change in a volume or shape-TT
[ ] The thickest layer of the earth-MANTLE
[ ] The part of the earth that is liquid in form is-OUTER CORE
[ ] This is a hot molten rock found inside the earth's surface-MAGMA
[ ] The second most abundant element in magma is-SILICON
[ ] This is composed of relatively light blocks that float high on the mantle like gigantic slow moving
icebergs-CONTINENTS
[ ] The point where the denser plate goes under the less dense plate-SUDUCTION ZONE
[ ] When two plates are colliding the type of boundary is called-CONVERGENT
[ ] Hot molten rock that is found outside the earth's surface is called-LAVA
[ ] When two plates move apart this type of boundary is being formed- DIVERGENT
[ ] These are made when an oceanic crust collides with another oceanic crust-trenches
[ ] The most abundant element in magma is-OXYGEN
[ ] Current within the mantle have broken the crust into blocks called-plates
[ ] These are made when an oceanic crust meets continental crust-mountain ridges
[ ] The outermost layer of the earth-crust
[ ] The following are temperatures where rock can melt except-650 degree
[ ] paleomagnetism is one proof of the continental drift theory-TT
[ ] the theory of continental drift is most associated with the scientist charles darwin-FF
[ ] seafloor spreading occurs along rift valleys large mountain ranges rising from the ocean floor-FF
[ ] continental drift large-scale horizontal movements of continents relative to one another and to the
ocean basins during one or more episodes of geologic time-TT
[ ] seafloor spreading is your logic process in which tectonic plates large slabs of earth lithosphere split
apart from each other-TT
[ ] the most active divergent plate boundaries are between oceanic plates and are often called mid-
ocean ridges-TT
[ ] divergent plate boundaries form when the two plates slip past each other-FF
[ ] Convergent plate boundaries are formed when two plates move towards each other-TT
[ ] The subduction process involves the descent into the mantle of a slab cold hydrated ocranic
lithosphere about 100km (60 miles) thick that carries a relatively thin cap of oceanic sediments-TT
[ ] A transform boundary is formed when two plates move away from each other-FF
[ ] Formal geologic time begins at the start of the Archean Eon (4.0 billion to 2.5 billion years ago) and
continues to the present day-TT
[ ] Stratigraphy is the study of layered sedimentary rocks-TT
[ ] Eons are the largest intervals of geologic time and are hundreds of millions of years in duration-TT
[ ] When hydrogen has one proton and one neutron it is called the deuterium-TT
[ ] Absolute time allows scientists to tell the story of earth events but does not provide specific numeric
ages and thus the rate at which geologic processes operate-FF
[ ] relative dating is the process of determining-TT
[ ] finer subdivisions of timer possible and the periods of cenozoic are frequently subdivided into
epochs-Tt
[ ] eons are subdivided into periods-FF
[ ] phanerozoic is divided into three areas cenozoic mesozoic and paleozoic-TT
[ ] epochs are the largest intervals of geologic time and are hundreds of millions of years in duration-FF
[ ] transform boundaries cause earthquakes-TT
[ ] island arcs and oceanic trenches occur when both of the plates are made of oceanic crust-TT
[ ] convergent plate boundaries where two plates move away-FF
[ ] continental drift large-scale horizontal movements of continents relative to one another and to the
ocean basins during one or more episodes of geologic time-TT
[ ] the magnetism of mid ocean ridges helped scientist first identify the process of continental drift
theory-TT
[ ] seafloor spreading occurs along mid-ocean ridges-TT
[ ] seafloor spreading and other tectonic activity processes are the result of convection current in the
crust-FF
[ ] seafloor spreading occurs at divergent plate boundariesTT
[ ] Alfred Wegener proposed the Cintinental drift theory-TT
