1. List and describe the 4 major layers of the earth. (Sci)
Crust-thinnest layer, coldest layer, life lives there, top layer, oxygen, natural resources Lithosphere inbetween Mantle-2nd layer, thickest layer, magma, 2 sub layersasthenosphere, mesosphere, 3 colors red, orange and yellow, liquid, 2nd hottest, convections waves cause movement there, Outer corebottom part is hottest section (same as inner core), nd 2 largestliquid (appears solid), white, metalic Inner corehottest layer, center of earth, white, appears solid, but is liquid. Metalic
2. Why are a higher percentage of lighter minerals found in the crust? (Sci)
Pangea Layers Age Fossils, Broken mountain chains Types of rocks Glacier Coal deposits
Pressure from pushing or pulling finally gives way Snag of 2 plates finally gives
8. Is there a pattern where most earthquakes are found? Why or why not? (Sci)

10. Draw the rock cycle.
Metamorphism-
Igneous-heat, cooling creates either large or small crystals Metamorphicheat and pressure Sedimentary--pressure
