asteroida rocky object that revolves around the sun cometa ball of ice ,dust and gases that travels through space and orbits the sun meteoritea piece of a meteoroid that lands on Earth after passing through the atmosphere ellipticaloval-shaped, like a flattened circle meteora meteoroid that passes through Earth's atmosphere and burns (AKA shooting star) solar systema star and the celestial objects that orbit it celestial bodiesany natural body outside of the Earth's atmosphere

Plate tectonics theory that explains the: - movement of the continents - changes in Earth's crust caused by internal forces Plates rigid blocks of crust and upper mantle - move along the hot upper mantle - make up the lithosphere Divergence - 2 plates move away from each other - hot mantle rock rises - creates new sea floor - creates new oceanic crust (2-10 cm per yr) -Mid-Atlantic
