- Q2Which layer of the Earth is slushy, plus convection currents move the rock in a circular motion?outer coreinner corecrustmantle30s
- Q3The earth’s crust and the upper part of the mantle make up the physical layer (marked with an arrow) called thelithosphereasthenospheremantleinner core30s
- Q4Look at the picture. Which type of crust is thinner, oceanic or continental?oceanicthey are equalcontinental30s
- Q5The innermost layer of the earth that is solid and composed mainly of iron and nickel is thecrust.inner core.mantle.outer core.30s
- Q6If the asthenosphere is 3000 km thick and the conversion factor to draw the asthenosphere is 5 cm= 1000 km, how would you set up this problem?3000 km/ 5 cm = 1000 km/x3000 km/1000 km = X/ 5 cm3000 km /x = 1000 km/ 5 cm30s
- Q7If the asthenosphere is 3000 km thick and the conversion factor to draw the asthenosphere is 5 cm= 1000 km, how thick would you draw the asthenosphere? (Do the math!)15 cm150 cm1.5 cm0.15 cm30s
- Q8Which TWO layers of the earth are liquid?mantle and outer coremantle and inner corecrust and inner corecrust and mantle30s
- Q9Which two layers of the earth are solid?crust and outer coremantle and outer coremantle and inner corecrust and inner core30s
- Q10__ breaking down rocks using chemical or mechanical means.Erosion isWeathering and Deposition areDeposition isWeathering is30s
- Q11___ the movement of weathered rocks to a new location.Erosion isDeposition isWeathering and Deposition areWeathering is30s
- Q12Deposition is when rocks ____ in a new location. Some examples of this could be sand dunes or deltas at the mouth of a river.are broken downare depositedkeep moving30s
- Q13Some things that can cause weathering and erosion arechemicals only.human or animal activity, ice, wind, and water.water only.humans only.30s
- Q14Erosion and deposition are the SAME in that....both have no effect on the area in which they happen.both break down rock using chemicals.both change the landscape of an area over time.both break down rock using wind and water.30s
- Q15Erosion and deposition are different becauseonly erosion can be caused by wind.deposition is when rock moves, and erosion is when it stops moving.erosion is the movement of rock and deposition is when rock stops moving.only deposition can be caused by wind.30s
