Soil substances occur in four basic components: minerals, organic matter, water and air. The combination of these substances varies among soils but generally consists primarily of minerals followed by equal parts water and air and a small amount of organic matter.]]> 2016-10-24 14:56:35 UTC https://padlet.com/alexiacarpenter17/gllbpfvspkue/wish/132723396 alexiacarpenter17 https://padlet.com/alexiacarpenter17/gllbpfvspkue/wish/132724983 The formation of geysers is due to particular hydrological conditions, which exist in only a few places on Earth, so they are a fairly rare phenomenon. Generally all geyser field sites are located near active volcanic areas, and the geyser effect is due to the proximity of magma. Generally, surface water works its way down to an average depth of around 2,000 meters (6,600 ft) where it contacts hot rocks. ]]> 2016-10-24 15:00:08 UTC https://padlet.com/alexiacarpenter17/gllbpfvspkue/wish/132724983 alexiacarpenter17 https://padlet.com/alexiacarpenter17/gllbpfvspkue/wish/132727303
A mountain is a large landform that stretches above the surrounding land in a limited area, usually in the form of a peak. A mountain is generally steeper than a hill.They are made through tetonic plates or vocalism . These forces can locally raise the surface of the earth. Mountains erode slowly through the action of rivers, and glaciers. A few mountains are isolated summits , but most occur in huge mountain ranges.]]> 2016-10-24 15:05:26 UTC https://padlet.com/alexiacarpenter17/gllbpfvspkue/wish/132727303 alexiacarpenter17 https://padlet.com/alexiacarpenter17/gllbpfvspkue/wish/132727376
An earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another. The surface where they slip is called the fault or fault plane. The location below the earth’s surface where the earthquake starts is called the hypocenter, and the location directly above it on the surface of the earth is called the epicenter.Sometimes an earthquake has foreshocks. These are smaller earthquakes that happen in the same place as the larger earthquake that follows.

Earth's volcanoes occur because its crust is broken into 17 major, rigid tectonic plates that float on a hotter, softer layer in its mantle.]]> 2016-10-24 15:06:43 UTC https://padlet.com/alexiacarpenter17/gllbpfvspkue/wish/132727915 alexiacarpenter17 https://padlet.com/alexiacarpenter17/gllbpfvspkue/wish/132727992 A landslide, also known as a landslip, is a form of mass wasting that includes a wide range of ground movements, such as rockfalls, deep failure of slopes, and shallow debris flows.

They are naturally occurring aggregates of one or more minerals.
Rock divisions occur in three major families based on how they formed: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Each group contains a collection of rock types that differ from each other on the basis of the size, shape, and arrangement of mineral grains.

The lithosphere includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the outermost layers of Earth’s structure. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and the asthenosphere below.There are two types of lithosphere: oceanic lithosphere and continental lithosphere. Oceanic lithosphere is associated with oceanic crust. Continental lithosphere, associated with continental crust, can be much, much thicker than its oceanic ]]> 2016-10-24 21:51:23 UTC https://padlet.com/alexiacarpenter17/gllbpfvspkue/wish/132863295 alexiacarpenter17 https://padlet.com/alexiacarpenter17/gllbpfvspkue/wish/132863362 The living things in an ecosystem are called biotic factors.

This is usually due to the long time it takes for them to be replenished. Renewable resources are replenished naturally and over relatively short periods of time.
