Earth Materials

Long periods of extreme heat and pressure result in the formation of —

• metamorphic rock

• sedimentary rock

• fossilized rock

• igneous rock

Some students use an apple to represent the Earth. What is the best reason to use an apple for this comparison?

• The flesh of an apple is made of the same material all the way through, and the interior of

  the Earth is the same all the way through.

• The seeds of the apple are very light in comparison to the rest of the apple, and the core of

  the Earth is also made of very light matter.

• The stem of the apple comes from the core and the North Pole comes from the Earth’s core.

• The skin of an apple is very thin, and the crust of the Earth is very thin.
