Which is the correct list of Earth's layers from the inside out?

Inner core, outer core, mantle, crust

This image shows that...

Earth quakes and volcanoes happen in similar areas

What are the three types of plate boundaries?

Divergent, convergent, transform

When one plate moves under another plate

Similar coal deposits were found in England and Canada. How did they get so far apart?

Seafloor spreading at a divergent boundary separted them

What's the relationship between plate movement and earthquakes?

Plate movement causes earthquakes

What is Earth's outer layer like under both the land and the ocean of this image?

Underneath all of Earth’s outer layer is hard, solid rock.

At which site would you expect to find solid rock if you drilled down?

At sites 1 and 2 because all Earth's crust is solid rock

How are oceanic and continental crust different?

Oceanic crust is thinner and denser

When the seafloor splits at a divergent boundary, what fills in the gap beween the plates?

Rock in the mantle rises & hardens on both plate edges

What are the three types of Volcanoes?

Composite (strato), Cinder Cone, Shield

When one plate moves over another plate
When one plate gets smaller than another plate
11
Similar coal deposits were found in England and Canada. How did they get so far apart?
Seafloor spreading at a divergent boundary separted them
Erosion caused an ocean to form between them
They were moved by trains
Convection in the mantle pushed them together

They are both islands
13
What causes convection currents in the Mantle?
Earth quakes
Volcanoes
Uneven heating
Earth's rotation
14
What's the relationship between plate movement and earthquakes?
Plate movement causes earthquakes
They are not related

18
What is Earth's outer layer like under both the land and the ocean of this image?
Underneath the ocean, is sand. Underneath land, it's rock.
Underneath the soil, Earth’s outer layer is made of water.
Earth’s outer layer is made of dirt and water.
Underneath all of Earth’s outer layer is hard, solid rock.
19
At which site would you expect to find solid rock if you drilled down?
At site 2 because it is on solid ground
Neither, because solid rock in only in the mountains
