Homework tonight: 
1. Earth Project: Title page with table of contents on the back.  See below for details on the project. 

2. Finish copying vocab from last week's Notes into the Vocab section of your Science Notebook, including: 
o   Lithosphere –Plates of lithosphere slide around on top of the gooey semi-liquid parts of the mantle.  Includes the Crust + Upper mantle:

o   Crust – the thin, outermost layer of the Earth. Thinnest, coolest, most rocky and most solid layer.

o   Mantle – depth and temperature between the outer core and the crust, this rocky, partly liquid layer is the thickest layer.

o   Core – innermost layer of the Earth’s interior.

o   Inner Core –This layer is the deepest and under the most pressure, so even though it is the hottest, it is made of solid metal (iron and nickel).

o   Outer Core – Made of liquid metal (iron and nickel).

• Volcano - A vent at the surface of the earth that pours out large amounts of lava, ash and gases. As magma or lava cools,rock can build up to form a volcanic cone (volcanic mountain).  Different types of volcanic eruptions and lavas create different types of volcanic mountains.   

• Lava - magma after it has erupted onto the earth’s surface
• Shield volcano - large, broad volcanoes formed from less-gassy, runny lava that erupts in a fast flow rather than an explosion
• Cinder Cone - smallest & most common type of volcanic mountain, formed from explosive eruptions shooting magma and ash up into the air, which cool while falling.
• Composite (stratovolcano) - alternating layers of ash and lava from gassy explosive eruptions make large, tall volcanoes. Ex: Mt St.Helens.
• Lithosphere - The rigid upper portion ofthe earth that is broken into plates. It includes the crust and the solid upper layer of the mantle.
