Aggregate materials clumped together with other earth’s minerals

Rocks

Ignis is the latin word for

fire

These are crystallized from magma or molten. Volcanic materials that came from within the earth.

Igneous

“Remaining particles” formed from the deposition of different earth materials such as fossils.

Sedimentary rock

Meta means

change

morph means

form

Rocks derige from igneous or sedimentary rocks that were exposed to high pressure, temperature, or combo.

Metamorphic rock

A geologic process that occurs in the earths surface or crust. Driven by gravity, water, wind, and organism

Exogenous processes

Disintegration of rocks, soil, and minerals together with other materials through contact with the earths subsystem

weathering

Breakdowm of rocks by earths subsystemn mechanical forces concentrated along rock fractures

Physical weathering

break down through chemical reactions

Chemical weathering

Earth is worn away by wind, water or ice. Movement of rocks or debris from one place to another

Erosion

Movement of large landslides of rock materials down a slope or steep side

Mass wasting

When a large amount of sendiments usually rocks of various sizes falls down the slope

debris flow

Combined soil and water flow down

Mud flow

movement of soil along curved surfaces

slump

accumulation of materials such as soil, rocks, fragments, and soil particles settling on the ground

Sedimentation

Takes place within the interior of the earth. Driving force is thermal energy

endrogenous processes

Breakdowm caused by humans and organisms

Biological weathering

Happens when magma is generated and develops igneous rocks. Happens either under the surface or on the surface

magmatism

known as plutonism. Happens afyer magma is formed and tries to escape from the opening and may cause destructive explosions

volcanism

Formed inside

intrusive

Changing the material that make up a rock

metamorphism

Rocks push or squeeze together

Compressional stress

rocks pull apart, separate in opposite directions

tensional stress

Break away in different direction

shear stress

Developed the idea of continental drift

Alfred wegener

once a gigantic super continent meaning “all earth”

Pangea

Pangea started to break up into 2 smaller continents

Laurasia and Gondwanaland

Also calles lithospheric plates. Massive, and irregular slab of solid rocks

tectonic plates

Destructive plate boundary where two plates push forward to each other.

Convergent

Conservative plate that silde horizontally from one plate to another

transform boundary

constructive plate boundary, where 2 plates move apart from each other

divergent
