Study Notes
Earth Structure and Processes
- Core: The center of the Earth, always meaning "at the center".
- Crust: The hard outer layer of the Earth, similar to the outer layer of bread.
- External Structure: The visible surface materials of Earth.
- Internal Structure: The invisible materials inside the Earth.
- Magma: Melted rock.
- Mantle: The layer below the crust, made of magma.
- Ash: Burnt material, often a grey powder.
- Composite Volcano: A volcano making a cone shape from lava and ash.
- Crater: The large hole at the top of a volcano where eruption occurs.
- Erupt: To shoot out suddenly, like milk from a saucepan.
- Lava: Magma that reaches the Earth's surface.
- Plateau: A flat, elevated area of rock, like parts of India and Africa.
- Risk: The possibility of something happening; e.g. falling from a tree.
- Secondary Cone: A smaller volcano that forms on the side of a larger one.
- Vent: An opening, like a hole in a building or volcano.
- Coastal Area: A low-lying region along a coastline, where land meets the sea.
Earthquakes
- Coastal Area: Land near the coast.
- Earthquake: A shaking of the Earth.
- Epicenter: The point on the surface directly above the earthquake's origin.
- Focus: The point within the Earth where an earthquake originates.
- Landslide: A mass of rocks and soil that rapidly slides down a slope, triggered by vibrations.
- Transfers: The movement of something, like energy, from one place to another.
- Tsunami: A huge wave caused by an undersea earthquake.
- Wave: A way energy travels, like through the Earth's crust after an earthquake.
Different Habitats
- Beak: A bird's mouth.
- Crack open: To split apart.
- Fins: Body parts of some creatures.
- Gills: Breathing organs of certain water animals.
- Strain: To push or pull with force.
Volcanoes
- Ash: Burnt material, often powdery.
- Composite Volcano: A conical mountain made of multiple materials.
- Crater: A large hole at the volcano's top.
- Erupt: To suddenly release materials.
- Lava: Molten rock that reaches the surface.
- Plateau: A flat, uplifted area of rock.
- Risk: The possibility of something happening.
- Secondary Cone: A smaller volcano on the side of a bigger one.
- Vent: A hole or opening.
