False
True
5
What is uplift?
The rising of the Earth's crust
The movement of magma out of a volcano
The sinking of the Earth's crust due to tectonic plates separating
The erosion and deposition of dunes
6

a geologic column
a fossil record
a fossil column
a geologic time scale
8
The division of the Earth's layers by chemical composition is:
Sedimentary, Metamorphic and Igneous
Core, Mantle, and Crust
Lithosphere, Asthenosphere, Mesosphere, Outer Core and Inner Core
Clastic, chemical, and organic
9

12
How is the mantle?
it is soft and cool layer
