What are the three main layers of the Earth?

• crust, mantle, and core

• rock, water, air

• surface, middle, bottom

• outer, inner, deep

What is the scientific method and why is it important in the study of science?

• The scientific method is not important in the study of science

Explain the stages of the rock cycle.

• Granite, limestone, sandstone

• Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic
