Unit 3: Stability & Change on Earth

What TWO factors increase as you make your way towards Earth's core?

• Pressure and temperature

• Light and sound

• Gravity and magnetism

• Density and volume

Earth's THREE main interior layers are:

• Crust, Mantle, Core

• Lithosphere, Asthenosphere, Mesosphere

• Outer Core, Inner Core, Crust

• Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere

Which areas of the Earth's interior experience convection currents?

• Crust

• Mantle

• Outer Core

• Inner Core

List Earth's five layers from least dense to most dense.

• Lithosphere, Asthenosphere, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core

• Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core, Lithosphere

• Inner Core, Outer Core, Mantle, Asthenosphere, Lithosphere

• Asthenosphere, Lithosphere, Mantle, Inner Core, Outer Core

The continents continue to move slightly each year, therefore as the continents shift due to the plate movement, the natural resources are deposited in new places.

• Sunlight, water, air

• Plastic, steel, concrete

What are renewable resources?

• Resources that can be replaced or never run out

• Resources that are always expensive

• Resources that are only found in specific locations

• Resources that cannot be stored

Which of the following is an example of a renewable resource?

• Solar energy

• Coal

• Natural gas

• Oil

What is one disadvantage of renewable resources?

• They produce a lot of waste
