1. The lithosphere, is broken into 8 large “tectonic _________” and many smaller ones that
float on top of the inner mantle.

2. _________ boundaries are locations where two plates that push against each other, and
parts of the denser plate may _________ under the lighter plate and melt in the heat of the
Earth.

3. A _________ is a crack in Earth’s crust from which molten _________ comes to the
surface.

crust it is called _________.

5. Sometimes so much _________ comes out of undersea volcanoes that _________ form.
Like the Hawaiian Islands.

6. _________ chains usually form when two convergent continental plates push against each
other, neither sliding below the other. Instead, they fold, forming mountains, like the
_________ Mountains.

7. Our Solar System was formed around _________ billion years ago. From a giant cloud of
gases and rocks that gravity pulled together. Most of the matter formed the _________, while
the rest formed _________, _________ and other smaller bodies.

1. The lithosphere, is broken into 8 large “tectonic [plates]” and many smaller ones that float
on top of the inner mantle.

2. [Convergent] boundaries are locations where two plates that push against each other, and
parts of the denser plate may [sink] under the lighter plate and melt in the heat of the Earth.

3. A [volcano] is a crack in Earth’s crust from which molten [rock] comes to the surface.

4. Molten rock under the crust is called [magma], and once it gets out and runs over the crust
it is called [lava].

5. Sometimes so much [lava] comes out of undersea volcanoes that [islands] form. Like the
Hawaiian Islands.

6. [Mountain] chains usually form when two convergent continental plates push against each
other, neither sliding below the other. Instead, they fold, forming mountains, like the
[Himalayan] Mountains.

7. Our Solar System was formed around [4.6] billion years ago. From a giant cloud of gases
and rocks that gravity pulled together. Most of the matter formed the [Sun], while the rest
formed [planets], [moons] and other smaller bodies.

8. The Earth started as a ball of molten [rock] which solidified as it cooled, although the
[core] still is largely a hot ball of [liquid] iron and nickel.

9. The density of the Earth’s material [increases] as we go from outside to the inside: Crust
(solid) [2] g/cm3,→ Mantle (soft rock) → Outer core (molten metal) → Inner core (solid and
most dense[10] g/cm3,).

10. Convection currents in the lower [mantle] cause the tectonic plates to [move] with
respect to each other (2 cm to 30 cm per year).

11. The [geosphere] consists of 3 layers: the inner and outer [core] (made of molten iron and
nickel ball of radius 3400km), the [mantle] (consisting of a thickness of 3000 km of matter),
and the [crust], (about 40 km thick layer of rock)

12. The Earth behaves like a large magnet with magnetic South Pole near the geographic
[North Pole]. This is why the north pole of a magnet is attracted to the [north].

13. A [topographic] map uses colours or [contour] lines to show elevation. A [contour] line
joins points with the same elevation to represent mountains and valleys.

14. A [globe] is a sphere or with the map of Earth on its [surface].

15. The [equator] is an imaginary line that [circles] Earth and is found midway between the
North and the South Poles.

16. The Northern [hemisphere] is the upper half of Earth and extends from the [equator] to
the [North Pole]. The [southern hemisphere] is the other half of Earth.

17. Lines of [latitude] are imaginary lines around Earth that are parallel to the [equator].
Lines of [longitude] are imaginary lines around Earth that pass through both poles and cut
the [equator] at 90ᵒ.

18. Under continents the crust is called [continental] crust, is [thicker] and in includes
[granite], a hard, multicolored rock.
