Geological Processes

Groundwater is

• a layer of water on top of the Earth's surface.

• any water that touches the Earth's surface.

• water and soil mixed.

• water found underground in the spaces and cracks within earth materials.

Which layer of Earth is broken up into giant moving plates?

• Asthenosphere

• Inner Core

• Outer Core

• Lithosphere

Scientists determine what Earth’s interior looks like by using:

• Volcanoes
• Seismic Waves
• Continental Drift
• Convection Currents

This layer of Earth is solid Iron and Nickel

• Outer Core

• Mantle

• Inner Core

• Crust

What are the two types of crust

• continental and oceanic

• ocean and upper

• lower and upper

• lithosphere and asthenosphere

Name the boundary

As you travel from the inner core to the crust, how would temperature and density of the material change?

• Both would increase

• Both would decrease.

• Both would stay the same.

• Temperature would decrease, but density would increase.

A rock layer that allows groundwater to flow through it and collect is an

• aquitard

• aquifer
