- 1. Multiple ChoiceHow does the temperature of the Earth’s mantle compare to the other layers of the Earth?The mantle is hotter than the core.The mantle is hotter than the crust.The mantle is the same temperature as the core.The mantle is the same temperature as the crust.
- 2. Multiple ChoiceHow does the density of the Earth’s core compare to the other layers of the Earth?The core is the densest layer.The core is the least dense layer.The core is only less dense than the crust.The core is only less dense than the mantle.
- 3. Multiple ChoiceWhich BEST describes the physical properties of the Earth’s core?semi-moltenwater and organic substancesa solid lower part and a liquid upper partcontains volcanic, sedimentary and granitic rocks
- 4. Multiple Choice
Based on the information in the table, what can you conclude about the density of the Earth’s layers?The density of the layers decreases as the pressure increases.The density of the layers increases as the temperature decreases.The density increases in layers that are closer to the core of the Earth.The density increases in layers that are closer to the surface of the Earth. - 5.
