Which material is most dense?
corn syrup
dish soap
vegetable oil
honey
3
Which of the following is NOT a piece of evidence for Continental Drift
solar radiation

15
Why didn't other scientists believe Wegener?
didn't have enough evidence
couldn't explain how the continents moved
Wegener only cared about what the earth used to look like
they were terrified of a new idea
16

Which type of crust is the densest?
they are the same density
oceanic crust
continental crust
magmatic crust
18
Which statement is true about the crust
it is denser than the core
it is cooler than the mantle
it is hotter than the core
it is thicker than the mantle
