how rigid each layer is

the thickness of each layer

the temperature of each layer

Multiple Choice

What distinguishes physical layers of Earth?

the elements and compounds in each layer

how rigid each layer is

the thickness of each layer

the temperature of each layer

Multiple Choice

outer core

Multiple Choice

The outer core is a...

solid

liquid

gas

Multiple Choice

The inner core is a...

solid

liquid

gas

Multiple Choice

What is the outermost layer of the Earth called?

lithosphere

core

asthenosphere

mesosphere

Multiple Choice

Tectonic plates consist of

continental crust.

mesosphere.

both continental and oceanic crust.

oceanic crust.

Multiple Choice

The place where two plates come together is known as a _______

transform boundary.

divergent boundary.

convergent boundary.

rift valley.

Multiple Choice

Mountains are created when....

Two continental plates collide

Two oceanic plates pull apart

An Oceanic plate subducts under a Continental Plate

Two continental plates pull apart

Multiple Choice

A fault is formed by the movement of a __________ plate boundary

Transform

Convergent

Divergent

Multiple Choice

What type of plate boundary is this?

Plate

Divergent

Convergent

Transform

Multiple Choice

The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was caused by a shift in two plates that pushed one section of the sea floor under another section of the sea floor by 5 meters. What type of boundary is this?

divergent

convergent

transform

metamorphic

Multiple Choice

Trenches, deep underwater canyons on the sea floor are created at this type of boundary

Divergent

Convergent, Subduction Zone

Transform

Multiple Choice

This boundary is described as moving toward one another When the plates are both continental plates the will crumple up and form a mountains. When they are continental and oceanic plates, subduction occurs and earthquakes and volcanoes form.

Convergent Boundary

Divergent Boundary

Transform Boundary

Multiple Choice

This boundary is described as two plates moving past eachother ALONG THE EDGES horizontally. These boundaries will get stuck or lock against eachother causing earthquakes when they slip and release.

Convergent Boundary

Divergent Boundary

Transform Boundary

Multiple Choice

This boundary is described by two plates moving away from eachother along the edges and separating. The resulting gap allows magma to rise and create new crust, forming new lithosphere.

Convergent Boundary

Divergent Boundary

Transform Boundary

Multiple Choice

How would you describe conditions inside the Earth?

All areas inside the Earth are just homogeneous.

The inside of the Earth has a circular structure like an onion

The inside of the Earth has a structure made of different blocks.

Multiple Choice

How much portion inside the Earth is molten?

30%

15%

75%

85%
