Name__________________________________ Period______________________ Science Test Study Guide on Earth’s Layers, Plate Tectonics, and the Rock Cycle (SOL 5.7) ***When studying, be sure to be able to discuss: the layers of the earth and the characteristics of each where earthquakes and volcanoes usually happen and why how rocks are classified the difference between weathering and erosion what fossils tell us about our Earth how we know the plates are still moving – evidence on Earth’s surface Word Bank: Use the following words to fill in the blanks below. divergent boundaries convergent boundaries plates faults outer core strike-slip boundaries mantle igneous 1. erosion sedimentary transform metamorphic inner core weathering sliding plate tectonics. rock cycle magma crust lava sediments 1. The process of rocks changing from one rock into another is the __________________________. 2. __________________________ are continent sized blocks of land that move slowly about the Earth’s surface, driven by heat. 3. A _________________________is a crack in the crust (or where two plates meet) where the pieces of the Earth’s crust move. 4. The ____________________________is largest layer of the Earth – found between the outer core and the crust. 5. When plates slip past each other horizontally they are called ____________________________, ____________________________, or _____________________________. 6. ____________________________ is the removing of rock and soil material by natural processes; running water, waves, and wind. 7. __________________________rocks are layers of sediment cemented together. 8. ___________________________is the decomposing of solid rock materials at or near the earth’s surface 9. Melted and cooled magma or lava is a __________________________ rock. 10. ___________________________rocks are changed by heat and pressure. 11. The outermost layer of the Earth is called the __________________________. 12. The ___________________________ is solid nickel and iron; under extreme heat and pressure. 13. The __________________________ is melted nickel and iron. 14. A _____________________________ is when plates are moving apart. 15. A _____________________________ is when plates are moving together. 16. Small particles of rock that have been broken down from larger rocks are called ___________________________________. 17. The study of the Earth’s plates and their movement is called ______________________________. Below, draw and label the 4 layers that make up our crust.
