What is density?

• Mass per unit volume

• Volume per unit mass

• Weight per unit area

• Area per unit weight

What formula is used to calculate density?

• Density = Mass / Volume

• Density = Volume / Mass

• Density = Mass x Volume

• Density = Mass + Volume

What pattern is observed with density as you move from the crust to the center of the Earth?

• Density decreases

• Density remains constant

• Density increases

• Density fluctuates

How did density impact the pattern of the molecules as they settled during the formation of the early Earth?

• Denser molecules moved to the center

• Less dense molecules moved to the center

• Molecules remained evenly distributed

• Molecules formed layers based on color
