Second Nine Week Unit Exam "A"

Which layer is made up of iron and nickel?

• Crust

• Mantle

• Inner Core

• Lithosphere

Which layer of the Earth's interior is LIQUID due to the high heat?

• inner core
• outer core
• mesosphere
• lithosphere

The solid layer with plasticity in the upper mantle that is located just below the lithosphere; lithospheric plates "float" and move on this layer.

• Asthenosphere
• Inner core
• Outer core
• Physical properties

What process is used to form sedimentary rocks?

• Lava cools and hardens to form a rock.
• Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Compaction, Cementation
• Extreme heat and pressure from inside the Earth turn rocks into new rocks.
• Magma trapped under the Earth's surface cools and solidifies.

The layers of Earth are the crust, mantle, and core, with the core being divided into inner and outer layers. Which of the following does not describe the layers of the solid Earth?
