Semester 1 Final Review (Earth Science)

Front

What is the mantle?

Back

The mantle is the layer of the Earth located between the crust and the outer core, composed of semi-solid rock that flows slowly over time.

Front

What subatomic particle has a negative charge?

Back

Electron.

Front

What is the Earth's crust?

Back

Front

What is the outer core?

Back

The outer core is the layer of the Earth beneath the mantle, composed of liquid iron and nickel.

Front

What is the inner core?

Back

The inner core is the solid innermost layer of the Earth, primarily made of iron and nickel.

Front

What is the difference between the lithosphere and asthenosphere?

Back

The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth, while the asthenosphere is the semi-fluid layer beneath it that allows for tectonic movement.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state.
