Thinking about traveling through Earth’s layers, which of the following would be true

as you go deeper into the Earth, pressure increases

as you go deeper into the Earth, density of particles increase

as you go deeper into the Earth, temperature increase

Why can’t we send equipment deep down to learn more about the interior of Earth

The temperature and pressure would crush and destroy the equipment

It would take too long to get all the way down to the center

There is nothing in the center of the Earth to investigate

What happens to the density of heated mantle rock? And why?

The density decreases because the particles spread out when they are heated, so the mantle will rise

The density of the mantle cannot be determined

The density does not change because heat does nothing to change the mantle

The density increases when the mantle is heated, causing the mantle to rise

How does the mantle rock change as it moves away from the core

It begins to cool, and the movement starts to slow down

It causes the core to cool down

It always causes volcanic eruptions as it rises

How does Earth's magnetic field affect compasses?

Earth's magnetic field aligns the compass needle with the magnetic field lines.

Earth's magnetic field has no effect on compasses.

Earth's magnetic field causes the compass needle to spin randomly.

Earth's magnetic field repels the compass needle.

Where is Earth's magnetic field strongest?

Where the lines are close together at the poles

Along the inside lines on either side

In the space outside of the lines

Why is a compass needle attracted to the North?

Because it is being attracted to the Magnetic South Pole

Because there iron in the north
