In which of the following sentences is conclusion used correctly?
Inge Lehmann suspected that Earth might have more than three layers, so she came to the conclusion that it did.
In his conclusion, the scientist proposed different possibilities of how earthquakes might occur.
The researcher reached a conclusion after years of collecting evidence.
Once you reach a conclusion, it is set in stone and no other evidence can be examined.
igneous
a rock that is made of sediments that have been naturally compacted and cemented together
metamorphic
a rock that forms when magma cools and solidifies
sedimentary
a rock that forms when minerals in other types of rocks are altered due to extreme heat and pressure
What is geology?
the study of the characteristics of the earth’s surface
the study of the makeup of the earth and the processes that change and shape it
the study of past human life and activities by examining bones, tools, and other objects left behind
the study of relationships between living things and their environment
The theory of plate tectonics states that __________.
Earth’s continents were once all joined together as one supercontinent
Earth’s crust and part of the mantle are broken up into sections that slowly move
Earth’s crust, mantle, and core all form tectonic plates that change very slowly
Earth’s continents stay still and do not move
chemical weathering
a process that moves sediments to new locations
erosion
a process that breaks big rocks into smaller rocks without changing the minerals they contain
physical weathering
a process that breaks down rocks by changing the minerals they contain
seamount
a deep-sea geyser that forms as seawater sinks down through cracks in the oceanic crust and then releases extremely hot, mineral-rich water back up through cracks in the crust
tsunami
an underwater volcano that forms wherever magma is erupting through oceanic crust
hydrothermal vent
a gigantic wave of seawater caused by an earthquake in oceanic crust
Seafloor spreading can cause a mid-ocean ridge and an ocean trench to form. Match each of the following causes with the appropriate effect: mid-ocean ridge or ocean trench.
mid-ocean ridge
ocean trench
The seafloor dips down as one tectonic plate slides under another.
Magma erupts through huge cracks in Earth’s crust as lava.
Select the answer that best supports the following statement.

The rock cycle explains the changes that occur in rocks over very long periods of time.
Rocks are created and then destroyed in a long process that occurs slowly over time.
Rocks are created, destroyed, and recreated in a continuous cycle.
Rocks are solidified from sediments in a continuous cycle.
Weathering and erosion change rocks in a long process that occurs slowly over time.
dormant volcano
a type of volcano that has not erupted for at least 10,000 years and is not likely to erupt again
extinct volcano
a type of volcano that has erupted in the past 10,000 years and is likely to erupt again
active volcano
a type of volcano that is considered active but hasn’t erupted for a very long time
The continental drift hypothesis explains that ____________.
all of the continents were once joined as Pangaea until they broke apart and slowly moved away from each other
climates change and animals evolve over long periods of time
all the continents exist on plates
hot water under the earth explodes on the surface

fault
a hill or mountain that forms over a crack in Earth’s crust from which lava erupts
rock
a crack in Earth’s crust
hotspot
the violent shaking of the ground caused by huge blocks of rock moving along a fault
volcano
an underground hot spring that periodically erupts, shooting hot water and steam into the air
geyser
a very hot region deep within Earth’s mantle where a huge magma chamber forms
earthquake
a naturally occurring nonliving solid made of minerals
What natural occurrence does the following myth passage explain?
