- Q4Which crust is made mostly of this?All choicesContinentalOceanic30s
- Q5The crust is...Plastic rockLiquid rockAll choicesSolid rock30s
- Q6The upper mantle, asthenosphere (middle mantle), and lower mantle are...Made of different types of rockMade up of the same type of rock30s
- Q7The upper mantle is made of basalt in what state of matter?Plastic rock like peanut butterLiquid rockPlastic rock like jelloSolid rock30s
- Q8The asthenosphere (middle mantle) is made of basalt in what state of matterPlastic rock like jelloLiquid (melted) rockPlastic rock like peanut butterSolid rock30s
- Q9The lower mantle is made of basalt in what state of matter?liquid rockPlastic rock like peanut buttersolid rockPlastic rock like jello30s
- Q10Why is the asthenosphere NOT liquid (melted) basalt rock?Basaltic rock has a higher melting pointThe pressure causes the basalt rock to not flow easilyIt is not close enough to the coreThe temperature is not hot enough30s
- Q11Why is the upper mantle solid?It is too far from the core to be meltedIt is made of basaltAll choicesIt is under too much pressure30s
- Q12The lower mantle is plastic rock. So is the asthenosphere. Which is true?The lower mantle rock is next to the radioactive core. This causes the rock here to be different in how plastic it isThe lower mantle is under more pressure so the plastic rock here will make it more like a LIQUID than the asthenosphere plastic rockThe lower mantle is under more pressure so the plastic rock here will make it more like a SOLID than the asthenosphere plastic rock30s
- Q13As you go deeper into the Earth the temperature will....increasedecreaseremain the same30s
- Q14As you go deeper into the Earth the pressure willremain the samedecreaseincrease30s
- Q15The lithosphere is...Liquid (melted) rockPlastic rock the consistency of jelloPlastic rock the consistency of peanut butterSolid rock30s
