Earth as a planet

What are the three main layers of the Earth?

• Crust, Mantle, Core

• Atmosphere, Mantle, Crust

• Magma, Crust, Core

• Lithosphere, Asthenosphere, Mesosphere

How do plate tectonics contribute to the movement of continents?

• Plate tectonics contribute to the movement of continents by influencing the weather patterns.

• Plate tectonics contribute to the movement of continents by attracting them magnetically.

• Plate tectonics contribute to the movement of continents by shifting the large plates they are part of, causing continents to move apart, collide, or slide past each other.

• Plate tectonics contribute to the movement of continents by causing earthquakes.

What are the major climate zones on Earth?

• Tropical, Dry, Temperate, Continental, Polar

• Equatorial, Arid, Subtropical, Continental, Arctic

Name three natural resources that can be found on Earth.

• Water, air, forests

• Oil

• Gold

• Diamonds

What gases make up the majority of Earth's atmosphere?

• Methane and Hydrogen

• Nitrogen and Oxygen

• Argon and Neon

• Carbon dioxide and Helium

Explain the process of the water cycle.

• The water cycle involves the movement of air only

• The water cycle, also known as the hydrological cycle, is the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. It involves processes such as evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection.

• The water cycle is a man-made process

• The water cycle is caused by the rotation of the Earth

Which layer of the Earth is the thinnest?

• Outer core

• Mantle

• Inner core

• Crust

What is the theory behind plate tectonics?

• Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's core is made of cheese.

• Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into plates that move over the mantle.

• Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth is the center of the universe.

• Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth is flat.

How do oceans influence climate zones?

• Oceans create deserts by blocking moisture from reaching land

• Oceans absorb and release heat, regulate temperature, and affect atmospheric circulation patterns.

• Oceans have no impact on climate zones

• Oceans cause extreme weather events in all regions

What role does the ozone layer play in Earth's atmosphere?

• Absorbing harmful ultraviolet radiation

• Blocking harmful infrared radiation

• Reflecting harmful ultraviolet radiation

• Absorbing beneficial ultraviolet radiation
