There are 3 types of mountains
Folded-The folded mountains is when a
convergent boundary collides.
Fault-block- fault block landforms are formed
when large areas of bedrock are widely broken
up.
And a dome mountain- a dome mountain is
also when a convergent boundary collides.


Convergent- the convergent boundaries is
when the plats crash in to each other.
The results are earthquakes, mountain
formation, and volcanoes.


The divergent boundary spreads apart.
The results are volcanoes and sea floor
spreading.


The transform-fault is the fault that slide agents
each other.
The results are earthquakes.


There are 3 types of rocks.
Igneous
Sedimentary.
And metamorphic.

Igneous rocks are formed when
magma below the surface cools
an hardens into igneous rocks.

Sedimentary rocks are sediments
that are cemented together and
are formed from tiny rocks, dirt,
and cement.
 Crust
 Mantle
 Outer core
 Inner core
We live on the crust. The crust is also called the
lithosphere. Did you know, not one human has
every dug through the crust? The crust ranges
from 5-40 miles thick.
The mantle is the thickest layer. The mantle
includes the asthenosphere, where the
convection currents take place.
Now to the outer core. The outer core obviously,
is the outer –core. It surrounds the inner core
and is really hot. The outer core is made of
metal and is really hot.
The inner core is the hottest, and smallest layer of
the earth. Even though it is the hottest, it is
sold! From all of the layers above, it makes the
inner core solid from all of the pressure.

Exosphere
Thermosphere
Mesosphere
Stratosphere
Troposphere
The first layer of the atmosphere , closest to earth,
is the troposphere. The troposphere contains all
weather and life.
The second layer is the stratosphere. The
stratosphere contains the ozone layer, that
protects us from the suns UV rays. Some jets
fly here to avoid bad weather.
The Next layer is the mesosphere. The
mesosphere is where the meteors burn/ freeze
up. Here, the air is very thin
The thermosphere is the 4th layer. The air is very
thin . In the thermosphere, satellites orbit the
earth in this layer. The thermosphere is the
thickest layer.
The exosphere is not really a layer, ( some people
call it a layer) but it is considered outer space.
Lithosphere
Hydrosphere
Aesthenosphere
The lithosphere is basically all of the land on
earth. It includes all islands, plains, mountains,
and more.
The hydrosphere is all of the water on earth. From
rivers, to oceans, even in your shower!
The aesthenosphere is in the mantle. The
aesthenosphere are the convection currents ,
the swirling pools of magma in the mantle. The
magma circles from the core, up to the crust as
it heats and cools.
