The continents of Earth used to be a giant landmass known as Pangaea. What caused this giant landmass to break into sections and drift apart?

• The tectonic plates shifted and created the continents as we know it today.
• The landmass rested on a layer of mantle which is more fluid so the sections could drift apart.
• The collision and constant pressure of tectonic plates caused the landmass to break into sections.

What happens to liquid water after it is evaporated (turned to water vapor) from the Earth's surface into the atmosphere?

• It gathers into clouds and falls back to the ground as precipitation.
• It melts and flows back to the ocean.
• It turns to ice and forms glaciers on Earth.

Put the layers of Earth in correct order starting from the surface (outer) of Earth and moving towards the center (inner) part.

• Crust -> Mantle -> Outer Core -> Inner Core
• Outer Core -> Mantle -> Crust -> Inner Core
• Inner Core -> Outer Core -> Mantle -> Crust
