Inside The Earth Chapter 1

True or False: Geologist study the constructive forces, such as volcanoes, that build up mountains and landmasses on Earth's surfaces.

• True
• False

True or False: The transfer of heat by movement of heated fluid is called conduction

• True
• False

True or False: Pressure increases from Earth's surface toward the center of Earth.

• True
• False

True or False: Oceanic crust near the mid-ocean ridge is younger than oceanic crust father away from the ridge

• True
• False

True or False: The mid-ocean ridge occurs along transform boundaries 

• True
• False

True or False: Convection currents form in the mantle when heated materials become more dense

• True
• False

How do geologists observe Earth's interior?

• By studying constructive forces
• By studying destructive forces
• By directly looking under many layers
• By recording and studying seismic waves

What is the correct order(starting from the surface) of Earth's layers?

• crust, outer core, inner core, mantle
• Mantle, outer core, inner core, crust
• Crust, mantle, outer core, inner core
• Outer core, inner core, crust, mantle

Earth's inner core is

• A dense ball of solid metal
• A layer of molten metal
• A layer of hot rock
• A layer of rock that form Earth's outer skin

When you touch a hot pot, energy moves from the pot to your hand.  This is called

• Magnetic energy
• Indirect evidence
• Subduction
• Heat Transfer
