Which of the following is unique about the rock in the asthenosphere?

It is in rock that behaves sometimes like a liquid and sometimes like a solid.

It is composed of solid iron and nickel It is rich in organic matter and fossils

It is extremely dense and heavy

It is rich in organic matter and fossils

Which of the following is the main thing that scientists observe in order to learn about the makeup of the Earth's interior?

The intensity of solar radiation

Which part of the Earth's core is solid?

Both the inner and outer core are solid

neither the inner nor the outer core is solid

Why is the inner core solid while the outer core is liquid?

The inner core is under immense pressure which forces the iron atoms close enough together to be solid.

The inner core is hotter than the outer core, causing it to remain solid

The inner core is composed of materials that cause it to remain solid

The inner core is constantly being bombarded by seismic waves, causing it to remain solid

Where is the magnetic field of the Earth generated?

The magnetic field is generated in the Earth's core.

The magnetic field is generated in the Earth's atmosphere.

The magnetic field is generated in the Earth's mantle.

The magnetic field is generated in the Earth's crust.

What causes the magnetic field of the Earth?

The magnetic field is caused by a large amount of electrical flow in the core.

The magnetic field is caused by a large amount of water flowing just under the crust.

The magnetic field is caused by a giant magnet in the core.

Why would life cease to exist without the Earth's magnetic field?

Without the magnetic field, cosmic rays from the sun would hit the Earth These rays would kill all life on the planet.

Without the magnetic field, aliens would be able to penetrate our protectictive force field and kill all life on the planet.

Without the magnetic field, a meteor from space would hit the Earth killing everyone.

What is the difference between the ways that igneous rock and sedimentary rock form?
