Study Notes

Composition of Rock

The primary component of rock is minerals

Erosion and Weathering

The main difference between erosion and weathering is that weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller particles, while erosion is the transportation of those particles away from their source

Soil and Plant Growth

Soil plays a crucial role in plant growth as it provides water, nutrients, and support
Plants generally require water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and minerals from the soil to grow

Layers of the Earth

The Earth is composed of four distinct layers: the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core

Temperature of the Earth

As you move from the crust to the core, the temperature increases, with the core being the hottest part of the Earth
The temperature at the Earth's core is approximately 5,000 to 6,000 degrees Celsius, compared to the crust which is around 10 to 20 degrees Celsius

Earth Materials

Soil is composed of minerals, water, air, and organic matter
The components of Earth materials include rocks, minerals, soil, and water
