Tectonic plates : a block of lithosphere that consists of the crust and the rigid, outermost part of the mantle
Convection : as you warm things up, particles move apart and cool things down
Subduction : the sideways and downward movement of the edge of a plate of the earths crust into the mantle beneath another plate
Rock cycle : the series of processes in which a rock forms, changes from one type to another, is destroyed, and forms again by geological process
Magma : hot fluid under the earths crust
Mantle : the layer of earth between the earths crust and core
Rock : a natural occurring solid mixture of one or more minerals or organic matter
Mineral : a naturally formed. Inorganic solid that has a definite chemical structure
Crust : the thin and solid outer most layer of the earth above the mantle
Core : the central part of the earth below the mantle
convergent : to come together
Divergent : to move away; the boundary between the two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other
Fault : a break in a body of rock along which one block sides relative to another
Igneous : rock solidified by lava or magma
Metamorphic : rock that has undergone transformation by heat and pressure or other natural agencies
Sedimentary : rock that has formed from sediment deposited by water and air
