The way non-crystalline minerals break

A cloud of gas and dust in space

Amount of matter per unit of volume

Unit of heat energy

Temperature at which the relative humidity is 100%

An out-of-place rock deposited by a glacier.

These values change as you go east or west

Maximum latitude on Earth

Kind of boundary at which plates slide past each other

Igneous rock with iron and magnesium
