- 18. Multiple Choice
Your teacher has asked you to make a model of the interior of the Earth. In your model, how do the thicknesses of the lithosphere and crust compare?
The lithosphere is thinner than the crust.
The lithosphere is exactly the same thickness as the crust.
The lithosphere is thicker than the crust.
The lithosphere is thicker than the oceanic crust, but thinner than the continental crust.
- 19. Multiple Choice
Some students use an apple to represent the Earth. What is the best reason to use an apple for this comparison?
The skin of an apple is very thin, and the crust of the Earth is very thin.
The flesh of an apple is made of the same material all the way through, and the interior of the Earth is the same all the way through.
The seeds of the apple are very light in comparison to the rest of the apple, and the core of the Earth is also made of very light matter.
The stem of the apple comes from the core and the North Pole comes from the Earth's core.
