During a geology class with Mrs. Holtom, she asked, 'What is the outermost layer of the solid Earth called?'

• Mantle

• Lithosphere

• Core

• Crust

DOK Level 1: Recall

During a science class with Mrs. Holtom, students were asked which layer of the Earth is known for its hot, convecting properties. Can you help them find the answer?

• Lithosphere

• Mantle

• Outer Core

• Inner Core

DOK Level 1: Recall

Mrs. Holtom explained how the mantle's convection currents drive the movement of tectonic plates, affecting the lithosphere. Can you describe this process?

• They cause the lithosphere to expand.

• They create earthquakes in the lithosphere.

• They drive the movement of tectonic plates in the lithosphere.

• They cool down the lithosphere.

DOK Level 2: Skill/Concept

During a science class with Mrs. Holtom, students were asked: Which part of the Earth's core, as explained by Mrs. Smith, is liquid?

• Lithosphere

• Mantle

• Outer Core

• Inner Core

DOK Level 1: Recall

Mrs. Holtom and Mrs. Smith are discussing the density of the Earth's core compared to the mantle. Can you explain how the density of the Earth's core compares to the mantle?

• The core is less dense than the mantle.

• The core and mantle have the same density.

• The core is more dense than the mantle.

• Density cannot be compared.
