What is geology?

• Geology is the study of the human body.

• Geology is the study of outer space.

• Geology is the scientific study of the Earth's solid materials.

• Geology is the study of weather patterns.

What are the three main types of rocks?

• granite, basalt, and pumice

• marble, slate, and quartzite

• sandstone, shale, and limestone

• igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic

How are igneous rocks formed?

• Molten rock, or magma, cools and solidifies.

• Igneous rocks are formed by the evaporation of water.

• Igneous rocks are formed by the compression of organic matter.

• Igneous rocks are formed by erosion and sedimentation.

What is the process of weathering?

• Erosion caused by wind and water

• Chemical reactions between rocks and air

• The process of rocks forming from magma

• Breaking down rocks, soil, and minerals through exposure to the atmosphere, water, and biological organisms.

What causes earthquakes?

• Sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust

• Meteorite impacts

• Tectonic plate movement

• Volcanic eruptions

What is erosion?

• The process of wearing away or displacing soil, rock, or other materials through the action of wind, water, or ice.

• The process of transforming soil, rock, or other materials through the action of wind, water, or ice.

• The process of eradicating soil, rock, or other materials through the action of wind, water, or ice.

• The process of building up soil, rock, or other materials through the action of wind, water, or ice.

What is the difference between weathering and erosion?

• Weathering and erosion are the same process.

• Weathering is the process of forming rocks, while erosion is the process of breaking them down.

• Weathering is the breaking down of rocks, while erosion is the transportation and removal of the weathered materials.

• Weathering is the transportation and removal of weathered materials, while erosion is the breaking down of rocks.

What are the layers of the Earth?

• epicenter, focus, seismograph, Richter scale

• troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere

• crust, mantle, outer core, inner core

• lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, endosphere

What is the theory of plate tectonics?

• The theory of plate tectonics proposes that the continents are fixed and do not move.

• The theory of plate tectonics is a hypothesis that states the Earth is flat and stationary.

• The theory of plate tectonics explains the movement and interaction of Earth's lithospheric plates.

• The theory of plate tectonics suggests that earthquakes are caused by the movement of underground rivers.

How do mountains form?

• Mountains form through volcanic eruptions.

• Mountains form through erosion.

• Mountains form through meteor impacts.

• Mountains form through tectonic activity.
