Science DA 3 - Earth's Structure

biosphere

• All the living things on Earth

• Only the plants on Earth

• The non-living components of Earth

• The atmosphere surrounding Earth

sedimentary rock

• Rock formed when small particles of rocks or the remains of plants and animals are pressed and cemented together over time.

• Rock formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.

• Rock that is formed by the alteration of pre-existing rock due to heat and pressure.

• Rock that is composed primarily of minerals and is formed through volcanic activity.

hydrosphere

• All Earth’s water, including liquid, vapor, and ice forms

• The layer of gases surrounding Earth

• The solid outer layer of Earth

• The region of Earth where life exists

atmosphere

• The layer of gases that surrounds Earth

• A type of weather pattern

• A layer of soil

• The surface of the Earth

composition

• The arrangement of musical notes in a song.

• The parts or elements that make up something.

• A type of artistic expression using colors and shapes.

• The process of writing a formal essay.

igneous rock

• Rock that forms when magma or lava cools and hardens.

• Rock formed from the compression of sediments.

• Rock that is formed from the alteration of existing rock due to heat and pressure.

• Rock that forms from the accumulation of organic material.

metamorphic rock

• Rock formed from the cooling of magma or lava.

• Rock made from different types of rock and formed from great heat or pressure, usually deep underground.

• Rock that is formed by the accumulation of sediment.

• Rock that has been changed by chemical processes or heat.

geosphere

• All the rocks and minerals that make up Earth

• The layer of gases surrounding Earth

• The liquid water on Earth's surface

• The living organisms on Earth

magma

• A solid rock formation found in the Earth's crust.

• A molten mixture of rock-forming substances, gases, and water from the mantle.

• A type of gas released during volcanic eruptions.

• A layer of soil rich in organic material.

rock cycle

• A series of processes in which rocks change and are formed from one another.

• A method of classifying different types of rocks.

• A geological phenomenon that occurs only in volcanic regions.

• A process that only affects sedimentary rocks.
