An area below the ocean where tectonic plates move away from each other. A vent in the surface of Earth that emits ash, gases, or molten lava. Molten Rock Rock that forms when sediments such as muds, sands, or gravels are compressed by overlying sediments. The outermost layer of Earth, including the solid upper mantle and crust. A series of waves in the ocean caused by seismic activity or an undersea volcano that causes a massive displacement of water. A chain of islands formed by volcanoes as a result of two tectonic plates coming together and experiencing subduction. An area where two continental plates are pushed together and the colliding forces push up the crust to form a mountain range. Rock formed directly from magma. The layer of Earth above the core, containing magma, the asthenosphere, and the solid upper mantle. The innermost zone of Earth's interior, composed mostly of iron and nickel. It includes a liquid outer layer and a solid inner layer. An area where one plate moves toward another plate and collides. A sudden movement of Earth's crust caused by a release of potential energy from the movement of tectonic plates. In geology, a place where molten material from Earth's mantle reaches the lithosphere. Caused by a divergent boundary, in which rising magma forms new oceanic crust on the seafloor at the boundaries between those plates. A fracture in rock caused by a movement of Earth's crust. geologic cycle governing constant formation, alteration, and destruction of rock that results from tectonics, weathering, and erosion. An area where tectonic plates move sideways past each other. The layer of Earth located in the outer part of the mantle, composed of semi-molten rock. The theory that the lithosphere of Earth is divided into plates, most of which are in constant motion. Rock that forms when sedimentary rock, igneous rock, or other metamorphic rock is subjected to high temperature and pressure. 1 Stratosphere 2 Base saturation 3 B horizon 4 E horizon 5 O horizon 6 Cation exchange capacity (CEC) 7 Acid Precipitation 8 Physical Weathering 9 Porosity 10 Water holding capacity 11 Parent material 12 Erosion 13 A horizon 14 Isolation 15 Chemical Weathering 16 C horizon 17 Watershed 18 Permeability 19 Horizon 20 Albedo 21 Troposphere 22 Humus The proportion of soil bases to soil acids, expressed as a percentage. A horizontal layer in a soil defined by distinctive physical features such as color and texture. The breakdown of rocks and minerals by chemical reactions, the dissolving of chemical elements from rocks, or both these processes. All the land in an area that drains into a particular stream, river, lake, or wetland. The amount of water a soil can hold against the draining force of gravity. A zone of leaching, or eluviation, found in some acidic soils under the O horizon or, less often, the A horizon. Commonly known as subsoil, a soil horizon is composed primarily of mineral material with very little organi matter. The ability of a particular soil to adsorb and release cations. The least-weathered soil horizon, which always occurs beneath the B horizon and is similar to the parent material. Precipitation high in sulfuric acid and nitric acid. Also known as Acid rain. Frequently the top layer of soil, a zone of organic material and minerals that have been mixed together. Also known as Topsoil. The underlying rock material from which the inorganic components of a soil are derived. The most fully decomposed organic matter in the lowest section of the O horizon. The layer of the atmosphere above the troposphere, extending roughly 16 to 50 km (10-31 miles) above the surface of Earth. A layer of the atmosphere closest to the surface of Earth, extending up to approximately 16 km (10 miles). The ability of water to move through the soil. The organic horizon at the surface of many soils, composed of organic detritus in various stages of decomposition. The size of the air spaces between particles. The mechanical breakdown of rocks and minerals. Incoming solar radiation, which is the main source of energy on Earth. The physical removal of rock fragments from a landscape or ecosystem. The percentage of incoming sunlight reflected from a surface. 1 Upwelling 2 Gyre 3 La Niña 4 Atmospheric convection current 5 Coriolis effect 6 Intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) 7 Adiabatic heating 8 Polar cell 9 Mesosphere 10 Rain shadow 11 Adiabatic cooling 12 Thermosphere 13 Aqueducts 14 Latent heat release 15 Saturation point 16 Ozone 17 El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) 18 Hadley cell 19 Ferrell cell 20 Exosphere 21 Thermohaline circulation 22 Carbon sequestration An oceanic circulation pattern that drives the mixing of surface water and deep water. The heating effect of increased pressure on air as it sinks toward the surface of Earth and decreases in volume. The outermost layer of the atmosphere, which extends from 600 to 10,000 km (375-6,200 miles) above the surface of Earth. Following an El Niño event, trade winds in the South Pacific reverse strongly, causing regions that were hot and dry to become cooler and wetter. The deflection of an object's path due to the rotation of Earth. Pipes and canals that move water from where it is abundant to areas where it is scarce. region w dry conditions found on the leeward side of a mountain range as a result of humid winds from the ocean causing precipitation on windward side A large-scale pattern of water circulation that moves clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. The upward movement of ocean water toward the surface as a result of diverging currents. A pale blue gas composed of molecules made up of three oxygen atoms (03). The capture and long-term storage of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. A convection current in the atmosphere, formed by air that rises at 60° N and 60°S and sinks at the poles, 90° N and 90° S. A convection current in the atmosphere that lies between Hadley cells and polar cells. The cooling effect of reduced pressure on air as it rises higher in the atmosphere and expands. A reversal of wind and water currents in the South Pacific. The latitude that receives the most intense sunlight, which causes the ascending branches of the two Hadley cells to converge. Global patterns of air movement that are initiated by the unequal heating of Earth. A convection current in the atmosphere that cycles between the equator and 30° N and 30° S. The layer of the atmosphere above the mesosphere, extending 85 to 600 km (53-375 miles) above the surface of Earth. The layer of the atmosphere above the stratosphere, extending roughly 50 to 85 km (31-53 miles) above the surface of Earth. The maximum amount of water vapor in the air at a given temperature. The release of energy when water vapor in the atmosphere condenses into liquid water.
