Final Exam Practice

The 4 layers of the Earth's Interior are:

• Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core

• Crust, Lithosphere, Asthenosphere, Core

• Mantle, Lithosphere, Crust, Core

• Crust, Mantle, Lithosphere, Asthenosphere

What is the state of matter of the Mantle

• Solid

• Liquid

• Gas

• Semi-Solid

What happens to the temperature as you go deeper into the Earth?

• The temperature decreases

• The temperature stays the same

• The temperature increases

• The temperature fluctuates randomly

Which layer of the earth is the hottest?

• The inner core is the hottest.

• The outer core is the hottest.

• The crust is the hottest.

• The mantle is the hottest.

Which layer of the earth is the coldest?

• The crust is the coldest

• The mantle is the coldest

• The inner core is the coldest

• The outer core is the coldest

What are the two types of crust? Which one is thicker? Which one is denser?

• Oceanic and continental; continental is thicker; oceanic is denser.

• Oceanic and mantle; mantle is thicker; oceanic is denser.

• Continental and core; core is thicker; continental is denser.

• Oceanic and lithosphere; lithosphere is thicker; oceanic is denser.

What shape and state of matter is the inner core? Why is it that shape?

• The inner core is spherical and solid because of immense pressure.

• The inner core is cylindrical and liquid because of high temperature.

• The inner core is irregular and gaseous because of low pressure.

• The inner core is flat and plasma because of magnetic fields.
