25
outer core
so hot the matals are in liquid state
26
inner core
helping to give rise to the magnetic field that protects us from harmful space radiation very hot
27
who proposed sea floor spreading
Harry Hess
28
evidence from sea floor spreading
eruptions of molten material, magnetic stripes in the rock of the ocean floor, and the ages of the rocks themselves.
29
plate tectonic theory
Earth's solid outer crust, the lithosphere, is separated into plates that move over the asthenosphere
30
3 types of plates thay are always moving
convergent,divergent,transform
31
divergent
plates move apart
32
convergent
plates collide
33
transform
slide across eachother
34
subduction zone
A subduction zone is a region of the Earth's crust where one plates subducts under eachother
35
oceanic to continental
oceanic goes under continental: volcanos form
36
oceanic to oceanic
denser plate will go under: island
37
continental to continental
forms mountain ranges
38
where does faults occur
edges of plates

internal structures of the sun
the core, the radiative zone, and the convective zone
47
what is the core
nuclear fusion
48
what is the radiative zone
surounds the core
49
what is the convective zone
between ratiative zone and surface
50
what is granulation
Hot gasses rise and cooler gas sincks
51
what is the outer structure of the sun
chromosphere photosphere corons
52
what is the photosphere
visible surface of the sun

56
what is planet mercury and facts
Its orbit around the Sun takes 87.97 Earth days, the shortest of all the Sun's planets.
57
what is planet venus and some facts
named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty. As the brightest natural object in Earth's night sky after the Moon, Venus can cast shadows and can be, on rare occasions, visible to the naked eye in broad daylight.
