Question 10

What happens to temperature and pressure as we move downward into the Earth?

Accepted Answer

Both increase.

Answer

Both decrease.

Answer

Temperature increases. Pressure decreases.

Answer

Temperature decreases. Pressure increases.

Question 11

Which of the following causes convection currents to occur?

Accepted Answer

The core heats up magma and decreases its density, so it rises.

Answer

The core heats up magma and increases its density, so it rises.

Answer

The core cools down magma and increases its density, so it rises.

Answer

The core cools down magma and decreases its density, so it rises.

Question 12

What happens to the speed of the molecules in matter that increases in thermal energy (heats up)?

Accepted Answer

the molecules move faster

Answer

the molecules become larger

Answer

the molecules become smaller

Answer

the molecules move slower

Question 13

When thermal energy (heat) is added to matter, which of the following is true?

Accepted Answer

The density decreases so the matter rises.

Answer

The density increases so the matter rises.

Answer

The density increases so the matter sinks.

Answer

The density decreases so the matter sinks.

Question 14

Since the inner core and the outer core are touching, which type of heat transfer is demonstrated?

Accepted Answer

conduction

Answer

radiation

Answer

convection

Question 15

Within the mantle, since the material is "plastic-like" and can move, which type of heat transfer moves heat energy from the lower mantle up through the asthenosphere to the lithosphere?

Accepted Answer

convection

Answer

radiation

Answer

conduction

Question 16

Where is the crust as compared to the other layers?

Accepted Answer

The crust floats on the mantle.

Answer

The crust sits below the core.

Answer

The crust sits between the mantle and the outer core.

Answer

The crust sits between the inner and outer core.

Question 17

The density of water is 1 g/mL. What do you know about the density of the tube?

Accepted Answer

The tube could have a density of 0.8 g/mL since it is floating on the water.

Answer

The tube could have a density of 2 g/mL since it is floating on the water.

Answer

The tube is more dense than the water.

Answer

The tube has the same density as the water.

Question 18

Which statement explains how and why the continents move and what Wegener didn't know?

Accepted Answer

The continents float since they are less dense than the mantle. When the mantle flows, the continents move too.

Answer

The continents are more dense than the mantle so they move with the mantle.

Answer

The continents move since the outer core is hotter than the inner core.

Answer

Trick question- The continents don't move.
