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

This layer of the earth is the thinnest layer and made of brittle rock

Crust

Mantle

Outer Core

Inner Core

1

This layer of the earth is made of LIQUID or MOLTEN metal (iron and nickel)

1

The MOST dense layer of earth is the inner core

Nokorɛ

The mantle is the layer of earth made of SOLID metal

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

1

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

1

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

2

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

Magma rises up between two plates, moving them apart and creating this feature

Pangea

continental drift

mid ocean ridges

continental shelves

1

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

1

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

1

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
