It refers to the outermost part of the mantle that is directly located beneath the lithosphere.

These are the waves of energy caused by the sudden breaking of rock within the Earth.

What are the most abundant elements inside the Earth's core?

Which of the following is not an example of an endogenic process?

These are instruments used to record the motion of the ground during an earthquake.

It refers to an endogenic process wherein magma are released through the process of eruption.

TRUE or FALSE:

Magma is only produced whenever rocks are exposed to a high temperature.

TRUE or FALSE:

The shaking of the ground due to the passing of seismic waves is called an Earthquake.

The term used to describe the difference in temperature as we go downwards the Earth's crust is called geothermal gradient.

The pressure inside the inner core is very high.

Metamorphism is an exogenic process.

The outer core is in a liquid form.

The term used to describe a molten rock that is released during a volcanic eruption is called Magma

Because we rarely witness dramatic changes in the Earth, we can conclude that the Earth is not changing very much.

Movement of tectonic plates and formation of volcanoes are endogenic processes.

How are magma's formed?

Although heat energy is abundant and vital to living things, it is not vital to the rest of the planet.

The heat of the planet is responsible for the moving of tectonic plates.

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact.
