Question 1
1.
Question 2
2.
This layer of the earth is the thinnest layer and made of brittle rock
Crust
Mantle
Outer Core
Inner Core
Question 3
3.
This layer of the earth is made of LIQUID or MOLTEN metal (iron and nickel)
Crust
Mantle
Outer Core
Question 4
4.
The MOST dense layer of earth is the inner core
True
False
Question 5
5.
The mantle is the layer of earth made of SOLID metal
True
False
Question 6
6.
When the Earth cooled long ago, this happened to the outer crust
It evaporated into space
It cracked into large pieces as it cooled
It became soupy as it cooled
Question 7
7.
What impact does the metallic outer core have on the Earth?
It gives the earth a shiny appearance
It makes the earth worth a lot money
It gives the earth its protective magnetic field
It provides the earth with an atmosphere
Question 8
8.
Which of the following is NOT evidence for Continental Drift?
Similar rivers and lakes found on different continents
Continents fitting together like puzzle pieces
Matching fossil evidence on different continents
Matching Rock and Mountain types of different continents
Question 9
9.
Which 2 pieces of evidence helped explain the matching Climate?
Similar glacier markings on different continents
Matching Rock and Mountain types of different continents
Coal deposits found on different continents
Continents fitting together like puzzle pieces
Question 10
10.
Magma rises up between two plates, moving them apart and creating this feature
Pangea
continental drift
mid ocean ridges
continental shelves
Question 11
11.
Hess was able to explain plate moving by the age of rocks because
new rock was near the boundaries and older rock was further from them
new rock was found everywhere he looked and it must have been from movement
old rock was close to the boundaries and new rock was further out
all of the rocks were old and that told him the earth must be old
Question 12
12.
Which of these statements accurately describes convection
hot material starts in the middle and cold material is next to it
hot material sinks down then as it cools, it rises
hot material rises then as it cools, it sinks
Question 13
13.
How does convection relate to continental drift and plate tectonics
It is the force the slowly moves the plates
It is the reason the plates are broken into pieces
both answers are true
Select the four main ways that scientists have determined what is inside of the Earth.
Telescopes to view deep into the core
Seismic Waves from earthquakes show the change of materials
The density of materials (more dense sink, less dense rise)
Stars give us clues to what type of gases are in earth
Meteorites that crash help because they are made of similar materials
Our magnetic field proves that the cores are made of metal
Having an atmosphere proves that Earth belches out gas from its belly
Inner Core
