Our Earth - The Fires Below

What is the primary reason we cannot dig deep into the Earth's interior?

• Lack of interest

• Fear of volcanic eruptions

• High temperatures and technological limitations

• Absence of suitable equipment

How do seismic waves help us understand the Earth's interior?

• They provide clues about the composition and state of rocks deep underground

• They are used to measure the Earth's temperature

• They create new landforms

• They cause earthquakes

What is the main component believed to be in the Earth's core?

• Copper

• Aluminum

• Gold

• Iron

What role does iron play in the Earth's core?

• It prevents volcanic eruptions

• It makes the Earth lighter

• It contributes to the Earth's magnetic field

• It causes earthquakes

What happens when a plume of super hot rock reaches the Earth's surface?

• It forms a new mountain

• It causes an earthquake

• It results in a volcanic eruption

• It cools down immediately

What is the difference between magma and lava?

• Magma is found in oceans, lava is found on land

• Magma is underground, lava is on the surface

• Magma is solid, lava is liquid

• Magma is cooler than lava

What geological process is responsible for the formation of mountains?

• Volcanic eruptions

• Tectonic movements driven by Earth's heat

• Meteor impacts

• Erosion

What is one possible source of Earth's internal heat?

• Wind energy

• Radioactive decay

• Solar radiation

• Ocean currents

Why is the Earth's surface constantly changing?

• Because of the movement of tectonic plates

• Due to human activities

• Due to the gravitational pull of the moon

• Because of the Earth's rotation

What is the 'Ring of Fire'?

• A region with frequent volcanic eruptions and earthquakes

• A mythical place in ancient stories

• A type of volcanic rock

• A phenomenon related to solar flares
