lithosphere, asthenosphere
astenosphere, mantle
crust, litosphere
asthenosphere, lithosphere
I. variation in the angle of sunlight that reaches Earth
II. variation in the amount of surface area over which the Sun's rays are distributed
III. variation in the amount of sunlight reflected from clouds
The process by which the ocean floor sinks beneath a deep-ocean trench and back into the mantle is known as _______
convection.
continental drift.
subduction.
conduction.
What is the correct order (starting from the surface) of Earth’s layers?
crust, outer core, inner core, mantle
mantle, outer core, inner core, crust
crust, mantle, outer core, inner core
outer core, inner core, crust, mantle
The rate at which water flows through the soil is called soil percolation or ______.
Groundwater
Permeability
Soil Pores
Porosity
The movement of the tectonic plates is caused by
the rotation of the Earth.
convection currents in the Asthenosphere
the gravity of the iron-nickel core.
the Moho discontinuity.
In some areas of the world, like California and Japan, earthquakes are a common occurrence. How can this best be explained?
The strong ocean currents are undermining both areas causing earthquakes.
Both areas are located near the edge of the Pacific Ocean, the unstable sand causes earthquakes.
Both areas are subjected to strong ocean wind and waves that causes earthquakes.
Both areas are on the boundary of active plates, the motion of the plates causes earthquakes.
Observe this diagram of a plate boundary. One statement BEST describes what is happening. It is that
the oceanic crust is melting.
the denser ceanic crust is subducting under the less dense oceanic crust
volcanic islands are forming.
the tectonic plates are moving away from each other.
In which layer of the atmosphere does ozone help block UV radiation from striking the Earth?
troposphere
mesosphere
stratosphere
thermosphere
In which layer of the atmosphere do all the pressure, wind, and precipitation changes occur?
Outer space
stratosphere
troposphere
mesosphere
