Question 5 (5-2 Module Five Concept Quiz)

Match the term with the correct description

Core

Mantle

Crust

Subduction

Mineral

Rock

Rock cycle

Geomorphology

Sedimentation

Nuee ardentes

A solid, cohesive aggregate of one or more minerals

Deadly clouds of hot gas and ash like those that destroyed Pompeii. Their temperatures exceed 1,000 degrees Celsius, they move at 60 MPH, and can kill in minutes

When an oceanic plate collides with a continental landmass, the continental plate will ride up over the seafloor

Naturally occurring, inorganic, solid element or compound with a definite chemical composition and regular internal crystal structure

Interior composed of dense, intensely hot metal, mostly iron. Generates magnetic field enveloping the Earth

Relatively cool, lightweight, brittle outermost layer. “Floats” on top of mantle

The study of the processes that shape the Earth’s surface and the structures they create

Hot, pliable layer surrounding the core. Less dense than core.

Cycle of creation, destruction, and metamorphosis

Deposition of particles of rock transported by wind, water, ice, and gravity until they come to rest in a new location
