Sent 1: Chemical changes produce new substances.
Sent 2: For this reason, they often cannot be undone.
Sent 3: Some chemical changes can be reversed, sort of.
Sent 4: To do so requires another chemical change to take place.
Sent 5: For example, you can undo the tarnish on copper pennies by placing them in vinegar.
Sent 6: The acid in the vinegar reacts with the tarnish.
Sent 7: This is a chemical change that makes the pennies bright and shiny again.
Sent 8: You can try this yourself at home to see how well it works.
Sent 9: Other chemical changes cannot be reversed at all or may be difficult to do.
Sent 10: Rusting is a chemical change.
Sent 11: If metal rusts, the best you can do is to sand off the rust to get down to the shiny metal.

Sent 5: It has continents and ocean basins.
Sent 6: Continents are large land areas.
Sent 7: These are the areas that are mostly above sea level.
Sent 8: Ocean basins extend from the edges of continents.
Sent 9: They include the ocean floor and Earths deep ocean trenches.
Sent 10: You will also notice the ocean floor is not flat.
Sent 11: It too has many Continents are much older than ocean basins.
Sent 12: Some rocks on the continents are billions of years old.
Sent 13: Ocean basins may only be millions of years old.
Sent 14: Because the continents are so old, a lot has happened to them!

Sent 1: Have you are burned something on the stove or in the oven?
Sent 2: Do you know why things burn?
Sent 3: It all has to do with temperature.
Sent 4: Changes in matter are affected by temperature.
Sent 5: For example, what if you place a cake in the oven and you leave it in too long?
Sent 6: What do you think will happen?
Sent 7: Thats right, it will probably burn.
Sent 8: The same thing will happen if the oven setting is too high and you apply too much heat.
Sent 9: In either case, heat has affected the rate of change in matter.
Sent 10: Its probably obvious that when the temperature is increased a chemical change, like cooking, will occur faster.
Sent 11: What about a physical change?
Sent 12: Are physical changes affected by temperature?
Sent 13: Most of us have seen steam rising off a wet road after a summer rainstorm.
Sent 14: This happens because the road surface is very warm.
Sent 15: The warm road and warm air temperature causes the water to evaporate quickly.
Sent 16: The liquid water is turning into water vapor, but it is still water.

Sent 3: At the core it is really hot.
Sent 4: All that heat tries to rise toward the surface.
Sent 5: In the Mantle, the rock is partially melted and is able to move.
Sent 6: As it is heated, the material in the mantle moves toward the surface.
Sent 7: As the mantle material rises, it cools.
Sent 8: When it reaches the Earths crust, it is mostly stopped.
Sent 9: A little of the material can break through the surface, but not all.
Sent 10: Instead, it begins to move horizontally.
Sent 11: The mantle material moves horizontally away from a mid-ocean ridge crest.
