Earth Science, 13e (Tarbuck) Chapter 1 Introduction to Earth Science 1) What are the basic differences between the disciplines of physical and historical geology? A) Physical geology is the study of fossils and sequences of rock strata; historical geology is the study of how rocks and minerals were used in the past. B) Historical geology involves the study of rock strata, ...

Plate tectonics theory that explains the: - movement of the continents - changes in Earth's crust caused by internal forces Plates rigid blocks of crust and upper mantle - move along the hot upper mantle - make up the lithosphere Brainpower Rewind 10 seconds Move forward 10 seconds Unmute 0:15 / 0:15 Full screen Divergence - 2 plates move away from each other - hot mantle rock rises - creates new sea floor - creates new oceanic crust (2-10 cm per yr) -Mid-Atlant...

The study of energy and forces of matter Physics The study of the properties of matter and how matter changes; atoms, molecules and their interactions to form substances Chemistry the study of the moon, stars, and other objects in space astronomy The scientific study of earth and the universe around it including structure, materials and processes Earth Science The experimental factor that is manipulated; the variable whose effect is being studied. independent var...

List the 3 main layers of the earth from the center to the outside based on composition (what they are made out of). - Answer-1). Core (Inner and outer)-solid inner liquide outer. Iron/nickel alloy. Extreme pressure 2).Mantle-82% of the earth's volume-Solid, rocky, shell 3). Crust (Oceanic-younger rocks and Continental-granite rocks) List the 5 mechanical layers of the earth (based on how they deform?) Whic layers is a liquid? - Answer-1.The lithosphere is the outermost mechanical layer a...

Plate tectonics theory that explains the: - movement of the continents - changes in Earth's crust caused by internal forces Plates rigid blocks of crust and upper mantle - move along the hot upper mantle - make up the lithosphere Brainpower 0:05 / 0:15 Divergence - 2 plates move away from each other - hot mantle rock rises - creates new sea floor - creates new oceanic crust (2-10 cm per yr) -Mid-Atlantic Convergence - crust collides with another oceanic plat...

Tectonic Plate Movement Lithosphere- Crusts and Top layer of mantle, it is divided into shifting tectonic plates. Effects- Earthquakes, Mountains, Volcanos, Rift Valleys, Seafloor Spreading. Other Forces affecting Earth's Surface - Weathering - Rocks broken up by wind, ice, water, and organisms. Erosion - Rocks and particles are broken down and carried to a new location. Hydrosphere Made of all water on earth's surface. 70% of Earth's surface is water Gravitational pull cause...
