Rock

3 ways that rock can be formed

Igneous Rock

Rock formed from magma cools underground and lava cools above ground

Sedimentary Rock

Rock form from sediment transported by water/gas

Metamorphic Rock

Rock formed by heat of core, or pressure of moving tectonic plates

Earthquakes

Lithosphere

Top layer of Earth

Tectonic Plates

Cracks

Faults

Cracks are where boudaries are

Spot/Place where two plates meet

Boudaries

3 Types

Divergent Boudaries

When 2 plates spread apart, magma and rock will shoot up through crack to cause a mountainous form

2 plates pull away from each other

Convergent Boudaries

Causes land and magma to form upwards

2 Plates push each other; one is forced to go underneath

Subduction

Ridges

Mountain

Chains of mountains; tectonic plates extend upwards

one lithosphere tectonic plate goes under the other

Trench

Transform Boudary

Two plates pass by each other

Earthquakes causes cracks

Volcanoes

Lava

Molten Rock

Molten rock on top of ground

Magma

Molten rock under ground

Disruptions, and huge, intensive vibrations caused by the boudaries results in:
