Space

Students in a 5th grade science class are studying space travel and human capacity to survive in outer space. As part of this assignment, students have been asked to make a shopping list of materials that would be needed for humans to survive in space. Identify the item that accounts for the fact that outer space has no atmosphere, causing temperatures to be extreme.

• Electric heaters

• Rocket boosters

• Oxygen tanks

• Food

Which of the following describes the outer core?

• it is made of brittle rock

• it is mostly liquid in composition

• It makes up only 1% of the entire volume of Earth

• It has the most pressure of any of Earth's layers

Why is the inner core solid?

• because it is the thickest of all layers

• the high temperature of the sulfur makes it a solid

• all of Earth's layers are solid because of what they're made of

• the immense pressure from the other layers causes it to be solid despite the heat

Heat flow and the movement of material within Earth due to convection currents can cause several changes at the surface. What might form where the convection currents are pushing apart?

• new material will be brought to the surface-mountains or volcanoes

• one of the plates will get submerged under water-an underwater trench

• one of the plates will slide next to the other-an earthquake
