What is the outermost layer of the Earth

• Crust

• Inner Core

• Mantle

• Outer Core

The crust and upper mantle make up earth's

• asthenosphere

• Continents

• Core

• Lithosphere

Which statement about the Earth's Crust is CORRECT

What do we call the continuously moving part of the earth's Crust

• Fault

• Fissure

• Fracture

• Plate

Which theory states that the entire crust is broken and is continuously moving

• Continental drift

• plate tectonics

• Sea floor spreading

• titanic theory

Which is of the following is NOT a result of Plate Tectonics

• earthquake

• fault lines

• landslides

• mountains

this earthquake type happens when the shifting of earth's plates is driven by sudden release of energy within some limited region of the rocks of Earth.

• aftershock

• foreshock

• tectonic

• volcanic

How are tsunamis created?

• A submarine earthquake causes a huge amount of water to be displaced.

• Differences in temperature cause hot seawater to rise.

• The gravitational pull of the moon causes the ocean water to rise.

• Topography underwater causes disturbances in ocean's crust

A landmass that projects well above its surroundings is a mountain. What do you call a chain of mountains?

• mountain area

• mountain chain

• mountain range

• mountainous

It is the location on the Earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake.

• Center

• direct center

• epic center

• epicenter
