Which of the following statements is true of the four spheres of Earth?

• The hydrosphere and biosphere are closely linked, but the atmosphere and

  geosphere are not.

• The four spheres of Earth are very closely connected and a change in one

  often affects another.

• The geosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere are very co-dependent, but the

  biosphere is unrelated to the others.

• The four spheres of Earth are strictly independent entities and no interactions

  take place between them.

Which layer of the Earth is made up of liquid iron?

• inner core

• outer core

• mantle

• crust

This diagram shows layers of Earth's structure. Place the layers in the correct order, from outside to inside, as shown by the

arrows.

• inner core -> outer core -> mantle -> crust

• mantle -> crust -> outer core ->inner core

• Crust -> Mantle -> Outer Core -> Inner core

• crust -> inner core

  -> mantle -> outer core

Why is the inner core made from solid metal, while the outer core is made of

molten metal?

• The temperature of the inner core is higher than the outer core

• The temperature of the inner core is lower than the outer core

• The pressure of the inner core is higher than the outer core

• The pressure of the inner core is lower than the outer core

by being compacted and cemented together.

• sedimentary

• metamorphic

• igneous
