Which correctly lists the layers for the Earth from the outermost layer?

Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core

What statement below can we not learn from studying fossils?

where people traveled in the past

What is a reasonable conclusion for why mountain ranges form?

tectonic plates collide with one another

A student brought in this fossil after digging it up in his yard. What do we know about his fossil?

The fossil is in a sedimentary rock

Where did the land go that used to be in the picture?

The land was moved by water and deposited somewhere new

Our class experimented looked at erosion on a flat and elevated surface. What was the dependent variable?

how and where the sand mixture moved

thermal energy from the Earth's core

Which statement is true?

The Earth is constantly changing

In the picture, what did the water cause?

The water caused erosion of the land
