The atmosphere is _____________ the crust and outer space.
Every ____________thing lives here in what we call the “_____________”.
The crust is everywhere, even under ____________.

WEATHERING AND EROSION
The crust is the _______ layer that is exposed to the ___________ and affected by WEATHERING and EROSION.
___________ weathering physically ___________ up rock.
One example is called _________action.
Water gets into cracks and joints in __________. Water gets in a crack, freezes and _____________, over and over, eventually ____________the rock.

______________ happens when rocks and sediments are picked up and _____________ to another place by ice, __________, wind or _____________.
____________ is a major agent of Erosion, (along with wind and water).
Ice freezes on the _____________, and plucks pieces from the _________ as the glacier slides down.
TECTONIC PLATES
The crust of the Earth is broken into many _______ called ___________plates.
We call the edge of these plates “boundaries”.
These plates (crust) are being moved by __________from the currents of magma found in the _____________ below.
We call these __________________CURRENTS

CONTINENTAL AND OCEANIC CRUST
The part of the ______________that is above the __________ (land) we call CONTINENTAL PLATES
_____________ crust (land) is typically from _________ km(20 mi) to 50 km (30 mi) thick.
Parts of these plates can be __________ the ocean as well.
Oceanic Crust 5km to 30 km thick.
The _______________Plate is almost entirely under the ocean except for almost a thousand ______________ (Hawaii etc.)
Some plates are called ____________ PLATES: they have major land ____________(crust above the Ocean)..North America..
MAJOR TECTONIC PLATES
1. North American
2. _________________
3. Eurasian
4. __________________
5. African
6. _________________
7. The Pacific Plate (Oceania) (not a continental plate!)

HEIGHT ABOVE SEA LEVEL!
We literally measure the height of land by (Height Above Sea Level)
The average depth of the oceans (how deep the water is) is 3800 meters (3.8km).
The maximum continental elevation (Height above sea level) (abl) is about 8848 (8.8km )meters (Mt. Everest)
Deepest __________ is about 10,000 meters (10km) (below sea level)
(_____________ Trench in Pacific Ocean).
Altitude relative distance from you to the ground.
If there are mountains or valleys under you, that will affect your altitude.

The mantle is the __________ layer of the Earth.
The mantle contains moving molten rock called __________.

CONVECTION CURRENTS and CEllS
Magma is heated at the __________, rises to the crust and is ___________under the crust, sometimes breaking through (_______________), cools and __________.
As it ________under the crust, it drags/pulls the crust with it.
This causes the plates to move, __________and or moving away from ________________other.
When a plate moves, an _______________ is created.
The individual pockets of _______________currents are called CONVECTION _____________
When ________________ breaks through the crust we call it ____________________.
Lava can escape through “___________” creating ______________, or along “_____________” or cracks between two major ___________________, creating a long _____________ (hill).
(Mid-Atlantic Ridge)

OUTER CORE

The _____________core of the ___________is 2,300 km (1,400 mi) thick and composed of ______________and ______________

INNER CORE
The inner core is __________________________
The inner core of the Earth has ________________ and pressures so great that the metals are _________________together and are not able to move.
The inner core is thought to be almost as hot as the sun.
