PROJECT 😁

CORE:

• The center or most important part of something
• The earths core is one of the most important parts

MANTLE:

• THE REGION OF THE INTERIOR
• The earths mantle is very hot 🔥

CRUST:

• The hard outer portion
• The crust is the outer portion of the earth

CONTINENTAL DRIFT:

• Is a theory about how continents drifted apart
• There once one giant continent called pangea

HYDROLOGIC CYCLE:

• The continues movement of water 💧
• Clouds build up of water then it rains after that it causes precipitation ♻️

TOPOGRAPHY:

• the arrangement of the natural and artificial physical features of an area.
• A Beautiful mountain is a physical feature

TECTONIC PLATE:

• a theory in geology: the lithosphere of the earth is divided into a small number of plates which float on and travel independently over the mantle and much of the earth's seismic activity occurs at the boundaries of these plates. 2.
• There is a lot of activity going on by the tectonic plates.

SEISMOGRAPH:

• an instrument that measures and records details of earthquakes, such as force and duration.
• The seismograph is very helpful in situations of an earthquake .

RICHTER SCALE:

• a numerical scale for expressing the magnitude of an earthquake on the basis of seismograph oscillations. The more destructive earthquakes typically have magnitudes between about 5.5 and 8.9; the scale is logarithmic and a difference of one represents an approximate thirtyfold difference in magnitude.
• The scale help you with information .

RING OF FIRE

• is an area in the basin of the Pacific Ocean where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur .
• There are a lot of plate movements around the ring of fire .

WEATHERING:

• wear away or change the appearance or texture of something by long exposure to the air.
• One example of weathering are rocks .

EROSION:

• the process of eroding or being eroded by wind, water, or other natural agents.
• Erosion is a natural agent .

FAULT:

• (of a rock formation) be broken by a fault or faults.
• The California fault my occur anytime .

DRAINAGE BASIN:

• extent or an area of land where surface water from rain, melting snow, or ice converges to a single point at a lower elevation
• the region or area drained by a river system

ATMOSPHERE:

• the envelope of gases surrounding the earth or another planet.
• The out line of earth is the atmosphere.

BIOSPHERE:

• the regions of the surface, atmosphere, and hydrosphere of the earth (or analogous parts of other planets) occupied by living organisms.
• The biosphere is the area of the planet where organisms live, including the ground and the air.

LITHOSPHERE:

• the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle.
• Lithosphere is defined as the rock and crust surface that covers the Earth.

HYDROSPHERE:

• all the waters on the earth's surface, such as lakes and seas, and sometimes including water over the earth's surface, such as clouds.
• all the water on the surface of the earth, including oceans, lakes, glaciers, etc.

LOESS:

• A loosely compacted yellowish grey deposit of windblown sediment of which extensive deposits occur .
• The loess was created by the drifted of fine sand and dust .

HUMUS :

• is dark, organic material that forms in soil when plant and animal matter decays.
• People may put humus in plants to make it grow.
