Earth's Layers

Earth's layers allow tectonic plates to move and shift

Multiple Choice

Which layer of earth is ductile and flowly and allows the plates over top of it to move?

• lithosphere

• asthenosphere

• mantle

• crust

Multiple Choice

What is the combination of the crust and the rigid upper mantle called that makes up our tectonic plates?

• lithosphere

• asthenosphere

• crust

• mantle

Multiple Choice

Which layer heats the layers above it causing a ductile and flowy asthenosphere?

• crust

• mantle

• core

• lithosphere

Earthquakes

• An earthquake is a sudden release of energy along a fault line

• Earthquakes shake the earth and cause lots of damage

Multiple Choice

This describes the total amount of energy released by an earthquake

• magnitude

• intensity

Multiple Choice

This describes the earthquake’s effect of people, structures and the natural environment

• magnitude

• intensity

Fill in the Blank

An earthquake happens at a transform boundary and results in a crack in the earths crust called a ___________.
