Geology

Geology: Land

Plate Tectonics - Separated land from water. Mountains are formed through subduction.

Earth: silicates, iron, nickel
Moon: silicates
Appalachian Mountains – North America
Rocky Mountains – North America
Andes Mountains – South America
Ural Mountains - Europe
Himalayan Mountains - Asia

Earth’s 5 Spheres

Atmosphere
Biosphere – living sphere
Pedosphere – soil
Lithosphere – rocks & minerals
Hydrosphere & Lithosphere – Water or ice

The Rock Cycle

Not all rocks are created equal. The rock cycle show how the different types of rock on Earth form. Geologist classify rock based on how they formulatedSediment collects in layers underwater and on the surface
Pressure cements the sediment together to form sedimentary rock
Igneous and sedimentary rock subjected to enourmous heat and pressure, become metamorphic rock
Magma that readches the surface to cool is extrusive (volcanic) igneous rock
Magma that cools underground is intrsuive (plutonic) igneous rock
When rock makes it down to the Earth's mantle, incredible heat melts it into magma
