EOY Review- Earth/Space Science

1. Why is the inner core solid and the outer core liquid?

• a. The outer core is hotter than the inner core which makes the

  material liquid.

• b. The pressure increases as you travel into the inner core which causes it to be solid even though it is hotter.

• c. The inner core is hotter, so it is liquid.

Which explains convection?

• a. Less dense, cooler magma rises and denser hot magma sinks.

• b. Less dense, hot magma rises and dense cooler magma `sinks.

• c. Denser, hot magma rises and less dense cool sinks.

• d. Denser, hot magma sinks and less dense, cool rises.
