Name:_________________ Earth Science: Test Review 1) _____ The crust and the rigid part of Earth’s mantle 2) _____ The central part of the Earth. 3) _____ Earth’s solid, rock surface. 4) _____ The layer of the Earth beneath the crust. 5) ______ The theory that Earth’s surface is broken into pieces or plates, that slide over the magma in the mantle. 6) _____ The moving apart of plates on the ocean floor that is caused by magma flowing up between the plates and then hardening. 7) _____ The slow movement of the continents over eons. 8) _____ At one time all the continents were formed to together to form a “Super continent.” 9) _____ Erosion caused by Earth’s gravity pulling materials from high places to low places. 10) _____ The breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces by natural processes. 11) _____ The breaking down of rock by physical changes. 12) _____ The breaking down of rock by changes in its chemical composition. 13) _____ The picking up and removal of rock pieces and other particles. 14) _____ The dropping off of eroded particles in different locations from where they were picked up. 15) _____ A mixture of weathered rock, air, water, and humus that can support the growth of rooted plants. 16) _____ Decayed plants and animals in the soil. 17) _____ Small, loose pieces of minerals, rock, and organic material, some of which are deposited when a river slows. 18) _____ A rock that forms when small pieces of rocks, minerals, and shells are deposited, buried, and are squeezed and cemented together. 19) _____ The process in which rocks continuously change from one kind into another over long periods of time. 20) _____ A rock that forms from other rocks which have changed from heat, pressure, or a chemical reaction. 21) _____ Rock that forms when melted rock in the form of lava or magma cools and turns into a solid. 22) _____ The sediment that forms in front of or along the sides of a glacier. 23) _____ Soil in which water can flow easily through. 24) _____ Soil in which water cannot easily flow through.

Name the layers of the earth from outer most to inner most and provide a brief description of each layer. 2. What are convection currents and where do they occur? 3. Earth’s lithospheric plates are constantly moving. Approximately how far do they move per year? 4. What evidence did Alfred Wegener have when he said all the continents were one giant landmass? 5. Name the three geologic features/events that occur when plates move. 6. What feature mainly occurs when two continental plates collide? 7. What are fossils and what do they tell us about the earth? 8. Explain relative age.
