Entering the Surface Zone
Entering the Surface Zone is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 2: Uplift and Weathering in Amplify Science (California) Grade 7.
Key Concepts
Uplift acts as the bridge between the deep Earth and the atmosphere. Rocks formed deep underground exist in a high pressure, high temperature environment where they are stable.
However, when vertical plate motion forces these rocks to the surface, they enter a hostile new environment. Suddenly exposed to air, water, and fluctuating temperatures, the rock is no longer stable. This drastic change in environment—caused by uplift—is the trigger that allows transformation to begin.
