Study Notes
Earth and its Habitats
-
Earth's Structure:
- Core: The center of the Earth, always meaning 'at the centre'.
- Crust: The hard outer layer of the Earth, similar to bread's crust.
- External Structure: The visible surface materials.
- Internal Structure: The hidden materials inside the Earth.
- Magma: Molten rock.
- Mantle: The layer below the crust, made up of magma.
- Ash: Burnt material.
- Composite Volcano: Volcano built from lava and ash.
- Crater: A large hole on top of a volcano.
- Erupt: To shoot out suddenly.
- Lava: Magma reaching the Earth's surface.
- Plateau: A flat uplifted area of rock.
- Risk: The possibility of something happening.
- Secondary Cone: A small volcano on the side of a larger one.
- Vent: A hole, like in buildings, to allow air.
- Coastal Area: A low-lying area along the coast.
-
Earthquakes:
- Coastal Area: Affected by earthquakes and related events.
- Earthquake: A shaking of the Earth.
- Epicenter: The point on the surface directly above the earthquake's focus.
- Focus: The point inside the Earth where an earthquake begins.
- Landslide: A mass of rocks and soil sliding down a slope due to vibrations from an earthquake.
- Transfers: Movement of energy from one place to another, e.g., earthquake energy to waves.
- Tsunami: A large wave caused when an earthquake occurs under the sea.
- Wave: A way energy travels, like seismic waves through the Earth.
-
Volcanoes:
- Ash: Ejected material from eruptions.
- Composite Volcano: A volcano with layers of material.
- Crater: The opening from which the volcano erupts.
- Erupt: To suddenly release material from a volcano.
- Lava: Magma that has reached the Earth's surface.
- Plateau: Flat, uplifted area of rock.
- Risk: The danger during or after an eruption.
- Secondary Cone: Smaller volcano on the side of a larger one.
- Vent: The hole from which volcanic material is ejected.
-
Different Habitats:
- Beak: Part of a bird's mouth.
- Crack Open: To split open (as in plants or animals).
- Fins: Used for swimming or movement in water.
- Gills: Structures to breathe underwater.
- Strain: A physical or mental stress.
