... Igneous rocks are formed by the solidification of molten or partly molten mobile material termed magma. The nature of magma cannot be directly observed because it originates from the partial melting of the lower crust and upper mantle of the Earth, usually at depths between 50 and 200 km below the s ...

Notes: Plate Tectonics
... • A system is a group of parts that work together as a whole. • The constant flow, or cycling, of matter through the Earth system is driven by energy. • Energy is the ability to do work. • Energy that drives the Earth system has two main sources: 1.) heat from the sun 2.) heat flowing out of Earth a ...
