Wegener
Galileo
Newton
Modern scientists
9
(C)At one point in time, the earth had
Solid crust
One land mass (Pangea)
Many plates
Multiple landmasses
10
(L) The oceanic crust
lies only under the ocean.
lies under both the ocean and the continents.
is part of the Earth's mantle.
is part of the Earth's core.
11
(S)What does the lithosphere comprise of?
The crust
Tectonic Plates

Outer Core
Asthenosphere
Mantle
13
(L) What is the inner core actually made of?
Cooled rock
Molten rock
Liquid Metal
Solid Metal
14
(L) It is most likely that the high pressure in the inner core comes from
high temperatures.
gasses deep inside the Earth.
the weight of the layers above the inner core.
low temperatures.
15
(L) From the information about Earth's layers given throughout the unit, one can assume.
the deeper the layer, the more dense it is
the deeper the layer, the less dense they become.
Not enough information
each layer has about the same density.

It is where mantel material collides with the lithosphere
It is where the mantel material condenses
It is where mantel material cools, causing convection
It is where mantel material heats up, causing convection
