There are three different types of rocks. Sedimentary, Igneous, and Metamorphic.

Due to the movement of plate tectonics, Mount Everest grows at approximately 4 millimeters every year. LT14

There are 4 layers of the Earth. The layers are the Crust, the Mantle, the Outer Core, and the Inner Core. LT 10

Rock cycle are made up of three rocks. Igneous, Metamorphic, and Sedimentary. Any rock can turn into any type of the other rocks. this creates the rock cycle.

There are 3 types of boundaries. The boundaries are convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries.  LT14

Events like Hurricane Harvey and Wildfires are very likely now and are causing terrible damage. People are still trying to rebuild buildings and houses in Houston for a hurricane that was about 5 months ago.

The upward current of convection causes heated magma to rise and spread beneath the plates.

There are many theories on how the Dinosaurs went extinct. One of the theories with enough evidence to back it up is that a large meteor hit Earth. While the impact probably did a lot of damage to the ecosystem, the impact alone wouldn't cause mass extinction. That is where the second part of the theory comes into play. The idea that leads to mass extinction is that the meteor created so much gas (from impact and fire due to speed of meteor) was emitted that it blocked out the sun, killing most plants. Without plants, the ecosystem was wiped out.

The Mariana Trench is the deepest part of the ocean. It is formed by a convergent boundary between the Pacific Plate and the Mariana Plate. The Pacific Plate is being subducted under the Mariana Plate. LT 14

The tectonic plate theory was first brought up by Alfred Wegener. He said that continents moved across the Earth over time, which explains why continents have similar shapes with each other and why the same species of fossils were found in different continents that are whole oceans apart. This was later disproved, but helped create the tectonic plate theory after studying the magnetic fields from the North Pole shifting (which either meant the North Pole - something in a fixed point - was moving, or tectonic plates were).

All 7 continents used to be one land mass called Pangaea, until the tectonic plates ultimately broke out to form today's 7 continents.

Weathering is the breaking down of a material and Erosion is the carrying away of that material. (Usually in the form of ice, water, wind or gravity)

I'm pretty sure the first person to organize the elements in order of atomic weight was a French geologist called Alexandre Emile Beguyer de Chancourtois. Actually, I just double-checked, and that's right. I think he did it years before Dmitri Mendeleev did, but everyone ignored his idea because he was a geologist. I guess he deserved it for his occupation.
