What is an example of evidence geologists use to to learn about Earth's interior? (Hint: there could be more than one correct answer)
Seismic Waves
Convection Currents
Magnetic Field
Rocks
In a convection current: cool, dense rock from the lithosphere flows (a) .
In a convection current: heated, less-dense rock flows (a) .
If the Earth's mantle cooled down to the temperature of the crust, the convection currents would (a) .
How is the rock in the deep mantle SIMILAR to the rock in parts of the mantle nearest to the surface?
They are both made from oxygen and magnesium
Rock in every part of the mantle is moving due to convection currents
The rock throughout the mantle is brittle (like the crust)
How is the rock in the deep mantle DIFFERENT to the rock in the parts of the mantle near the surface? (Hint: there could be more than one correct answer)
The rock near the surface is cooler and denser
The rock near the surface is sinking
The rock in the deep mantle is hotter and less dense
The rock in the deep mantle is rising
How confident are you about Earth's layers?
I am SUPER confident and could ace a quiz right now
I am confident, but need some time to review before a quiz
I am not confident, but with time I could figure it out on my own
HELP! I need review now
