These work promoting the partial melting of rocks along the spreading center

Methods to determine the age of the stratified rocks

This process occurs when solid materials such as rocks and minerals are melted due to an increase in temperature, pressure, and volatiles

____ rises due to contact between magma and rocks

Tension goes ____

Layers of rocks are arranged in time sequence, oldest on _______ and youngest on _____, unless later processes disturb this arrangement

Absolute dating is also called as?

This plate boundary occurs when 2 tectonic plates move away from each other

Absolute dating for organic remains could date up to 60,000 years

Fault is due to _______ plates

2 categories of the internal heat sources of the earth

Core mantle boundary estimated temperature

The asthenosphere is located between the ??

Fold results to creation of ____ and ____

It only tells that one rock is older than the other but does not tell how old each of the rock is

Folding is the pressure of _____ plates causing the crust to fold and buckle

What law does nicholas steno created and considered as his most famous contribution in geology

3 processes that endogenic processes comprise

Tension forms ______

3 special conditions required for the formation of magma

Divergent plate boundary forms a ??

2 examples of absolute dating

The rising magma in mantle convection cell brings heat to the surface, transferring heat to the overlying rocks.

Compression forms _____

The presence of water during generation results to the formation of hydrous or watery minerals, which when paired with the change in temperature and pressure conditions, brings about mineral instability, and the formation of the surrounding hot rocks into magma.

Inner core - outer core boundary estimated temperature

Process where the seafloor uplifts or rises above the sea level

Causes of stratification

Tension forms _____ boundary

A fold that arches upward

2 forces of tectonic plates

Heat from accretion and bombardment of the Earth during early stages of formation

A fold that bends downward

Earth's center estimated temperature

A method of determining rocks wherein it can't provide actualy numerical dates of rocks

The combination of elements that is already vaporized is called ?

Two plates sliding past each other forms a ________ plate boundary

What law is this?? Layers of rocks are arranged in time sequence, oldest on bottom and youngest on top, unless later processes disturb this arrangement

Refers to force where plates pushed toward each other causing them to crash

Earths crust completely breaks and slides past each other

Heat transfer occurs through electromagnetic waves and force without involving particles

These are a function of a body's internal geodynamic activity

Used to describe items being composed of layers

In primordial heat, ______ energy will transform into ______ energy

A method of arranging geological events based on the rock sequence

Where does magma form

These are preserved remains of plants and animals whose bodies are buried in sediments, such as sand and mud, under ancient seas, lakes, and rivers

This plate boundary happens when tectonic plates move in opposite direction

The source of heat for _______ is much deeper compared to mid- ocean ridges

Refers to a stress which stretches rocks in two opposite directions
