Match the fo llowing vocabulary words to the correct definition A. RELATIVE process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, CGEOTHERMAL GRADIENT and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat.

Explanation / Answer

Syncline. A ridge shaped fold of stratified rock in which the strata slope downward from the crest.
Anticline. A ridge shaped fold of stratified rock in which the strata slope downward from the crest.

fault. an extended break in a body of rock, marked by the relative displacement and discontinuity of strata on either side of a particular surface.

Stress. Pressure or tension exerted on a material object. It is force applied to a certain cross-sectional area of an object.

Geothermal gradient. earth temperature increase with depth. It is rate of increasing temperature with respect to increasing depth in the Earth's interior.
