Intro to Earth Science

What are the four main layers of Earth?

• atmosphere, biosphere,

  hydropshere, geosphere

• core,mantle, crust, atmosphere
• hydrosphere, cryosphere, geosphere, mesosphere
• none of them

Which best describes the mantle?

• molten metal
• dry land and ocean floor
• hot but solid rock
• warm liquid

Which is an example of constructive force?

• strong wind
• erupting volcano
• heavy rain
• erosion

Which is not an example of hydrosphere?

• oceans
• lakes
• rivers
• water vapor

Through the process like weathering and erosion,___________ forces destroy landmasses.

• constructive
• destructive

Choose the one that does not correspond to Biosphere.

• trees
• animals
• oxygen
• humans

From the outside to the inside, the correct order of the layers of Earth is

• inner core, outer core, mantle, crust
• crust, mantle, outer core, inner core

The solid ground is part of the

• hydrosphere.
• geosphere.
• biosphere.
• atmosphere.

The continents are part of the

• inner core.
• outer core.
• mantle.
• crust.

The crust is divided into two parts, continental crust and

• oceanic crust.
• inner core.
• outer core.
• mantle
