SCIENCE G10 Q1

What is the CORRECT arrangement of the earth’s layers from the innermost to its surface?

• inner core, outer core, mantle, crust

• inner core, outer core, crust, mantle

• inner core, mantle, crust, outer core

• mantle, crust, outer core, inner core

Earth’s lithosphere has different layers. Which of the following layers is made up of SIMA and SIAL?

• Guttenberg discontinuity and continental crust

• Mohorovicic discontinuity and oceanic crust

• Continental crust and oceanic crust

• Asthenosphere and core

Which layer of the earth makes up most of the earth’s volume?

• Outer core

• Mantle

• Crust

• Inner core

How do you compare the thickness of the crust, mantle, and core?

• Core is the layer of the earth that is thicker than the crust but thinner than the mantle.

• Core is the layer of the earth that is thinner than the crust and thicker than the mantlet.

• Core is the layer of the earth that is thinner than the crust and the mantle.

• Core is the layer of the earth that is thicker than the crust and mantle.

Which of the following statements differentiate transform-fault boundary from convergent boundary?

• The plates in these two boundaries collide with each other.

• The plates in the transform-fault boundary slide past with each other while the plates in convergent boundary collide with each other.

• The plates in the transform-fault boundary slide past with each other while the plates in convergent boundary break apart.

• The plates in the transform-fault boundary collide with each other while the plates in convergent boundary move away from each other.

The movement of the lithospheric plates is facilitated by a soft weak and plastic like layer. Which of the following layers is described in the statement?

• Asthenosphere

• Atmosphere

• Lithosphere

• Mantle

Philippine plate and Eurasian plate move towards each other. What type of plate boundary is formed when the Philippine plate and Eurasian plate collide?

• Convergent boundary

• Divergent boundary

• Transform-fault boundary

• Reverse – fault boundary

Which of the following happens when plates diverge or move away from each other?

• The mantle rises.

• The crust is destroyed.

• Earth’s size changes because mountains are added to the earth’s surface.

• New crust is produced because magma rises, then cools off and turns into solid.

Based on the diagram below, which of the following is TRUE?

• Plate A is continental plate while plate B is oceanic plate

• Plate A is oceanic plate while plate B is continental plate

• Plates A and B are both continental plates

• Plates A and B are both oceanic plates

Plate A moves towards plate B. what would be the result of the collision of two plates?

• Plate A will move up towards plate B

• Shallow earthquake could possibly happen

• Mountains, trenches, and volcanoes will be formed

• There will be a formation of rift valley and mid-ocean ridge
