continental drift : the theory that the earth's continents were one land mass and then drifted apart
sedimentary : rock formed from sand, soil, rocks, and shells
tectonic : having to do with the crust of the earth and its folds and faults
deluge : a heavy rain
decomposed : to decay or rot
fault lines : breaks in the earth's crust, with displacement of earth and rock on one side
dormant : temporarily inactive
molten : melted by high heat, as in liquid rock
lahars : huge mudflows filled of volcanic debris, rock, and water
geologic time : the long time period of the earth's history as defined by scientists
fissures : long cracks in the earth's crust
loess : soil believed to be mainly deposited by wind
basalt : gray or black fine-grained igneous rock; cooled lava rock
igneous rock : rock that came from the interior of the earth as lava
erratics : a huge boulder carried long distances by a glacier
aquifer : a layer of rock that holds water
abrasive : smoothing out a rough surface
coulee : a dry streambed; a small shallow ravine
