Continent
Transcript: The Earth Inside And Out Chapter 2 Terms By: Kayleigh Birney The core is the center of the earth and is made of iron and nickel. Moraine Solid fragments of material that come from the weathering of rock and are carried and deposited by wind, water, or ice. The process of being covered in ice. Continental Drift Molten rock that is the result of the magma melting the underside of the earth's crust. Mechanical Weathering Layer of gases, including oxygen, that surrounds the earth. Glaciation Erosion Theory that a super continent divided and drifted apart over time. Drainage Basin Continental Shelf The arrangement of the natural and artificial physical features of an area. Loess Core Hydrosphere A natural feature of the earth's surface. The organic component of soil. Hydrologic Cycle The mechanical and chemical breakdown of rocks. The area of seabed around a large landmass where the sea is relatively shallow compared with the open ocean. The area drained by a river and all its tributaries. Lithosphere Biosphere Glacier Chemical Weathering Delta Topography Various processes of weathering that break apart rock into particles or sediment. Weathering The part of the earth where plants and animals live. The thin layer of rock at the surface of the earth. Ground Water Deltas are formed from the deposition of the sediment carried by the river as the flow leaves the mouth of the river. Crust A soft layer of molten rock that floats on top of the core. Humus Sediment Erosion is the act in which earth is worn away, often by water, wind, or ice. The solid, metallic center of the earth. Landmasses above water on earth. The sun plus the nine known planets and other celestial bodies orbiting the sun. A light-colored fine-grained accumulation of clay and silt particles that have been deposited by the wind. Water Table Atmosphere A mass of rocks and sediment carried down and deposited by a glacier. Magma Solar System The erosion or disintegration of rocks caused by chemical reactions Landform The solid rock portion of the earth's surface. Water held underground in the soil or in pores and crevices in rock. A slowly moving mass of ice formed by the accumulation and compaction of snow on mountains or near the poles. Mantle Continent The variations of elevation in the earth's surface. The water elements of the earth including oceans, seas, rivers, lakes, and water in the atmosphere. The natural sequence through which water passes into the atmosphere as water vapor, precipitates to earth, and returns to the atmosphere through evaporation. Relief The core is the center of the earth and is made of iron and nickel. Core
