An Overview of Earth’s Layers

The video explores Earth's structure, detailing the crust, mantle, and core. It explains the differences between continental and oceanic crust, the mantle's convection processes, and the core's role in generating Earth's magnetic field. The formation of Earth's layers through differentiation and cooling is also discussed.

What is the primary difference between oceanic and continental crust?

• Age

• Thickness

• Density

• Color

What is the main force driving plate tectonics according to current scientific consensus?

• Ridge push

• Mantle convection

• Volcanic activity

• Slab pull

What is the composition of the Earth's mantle primarily made of?

• Granite

• Basalt

• Peridotite

• Sandstone

What is the Bullen discontinuity?

• The boundary between the outer and inner core

• The boundary between the crust and mantle

• The boundary between the lithosphere and asthenosphere

• The boundary between the mantle and core

What phenomenon is responsible for Earth's magnetic field?

• Seismic activity

• Solar winds

• Geodynamo

• Plate tectonics

What process led to the formation of Earth's layers?

• Metamorphism

• Sedimentation

• Differentiation

• Erosion

What is the current growth rate of Earth's inner core?

• 1 millimeter per year

• 1 kilometer per year

• 1 centimeter per year

• 1 meter per year
