How Plates Move
The theory of plate tectonics explains the formation,movement,and subduction of Earths Plates. Also we have boundaries such as the divergent,convergent,and the transform boundaries.Geologists have evidence that Pangea drifted because of the plates.
Volcano
a mountain or hill, having a crater or vent through which lava, rock fragments, hot vapor, and gas are being or have been erupted from the earth's crust.The earth's surface is changed by volcanoes in a number of ways. The magma explodes out of the openings of a volcano and alters of its surroundings. The volcanoes can be described as upwelling of Earth's interior through cracks in its crust.
Mountain Ranges
a line of mountains connected by high ground.
The movement of the earth's crustal plates does cause changes in the earth's surfaces.
Deep ocean trenches
The oceanic trenches are long but narrow depressions of the sea floor. They are also the deepest parts of the ocean floor. Oceanic trenches are a distinctive and are features of convergent plate boundaries.
Bill Nye The Science Guy - Erosion
Erosion is the process by which soil and rock are removed from the Earth's surface by processes such as wind or water flow, and then transported and deposited in other locations.Also wind, water,and ice are the three main types of erosion.Water is the most power in erosion and wind is the least changes in earths surface.
Fossils
Law of Superposition
In Geology in the ground the farther we go we see back in time.
History of Fossils
Igneous,Sedimentary,and Metamorphic Rocks
Rocks and Minerals
Metamorphic Rocks
Formation of metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks are created by the physical or chemical alteration by heat and pressure of an existing igneous or sedimentary material into a denser form
Sedimentary Rocks
Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the deposition of material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water.
Igneous Rock
Underground, they are formed when the melted rock, called magma, deep within the earth becomes trapped in small pockets. As these pockets of magma cool slowly underground, the magma becomes igneous rocks.
Rock Cycle
The rock cycle is a basic concept in geology that describes the transitions through time among the three main rock types: sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous
Minerals
They can be formed Naturally Occurring,Inorganic,Solid,Crystal Structure,and DCC. Also each minerals has its own characteristics properties.
I enjoyed studying the minerals,volcanoes,and earthquakes.
