The earth is composed mainly of?

• magma

• water

• ice

• rock

This layer of the earth has a convective current that is driven by the extreme heat from the core:

• mantle

• crust

• inner core

• outer core

What causes earth's plates to move?

• the continuous flow of liquid magma under the ground

• the convective current in the mantle

• the flow of the lithosphere

• the flow of the atmosphere

The rotation of earth and the circulation of the inner and outer core causes a:

• dynamo effect or magnetic field

• solar flares

• dynamite or magma fields

• aurora arboreal

The earth's crust is classified into two types:

• continental and crustal

• oceanic and crustal

• continental and oceanic

• crustal and sea

The lithosphere (crust) is broken into:

• tectonic plates

• fault lines

• tectonic trays

• fault plates
