Earth's Interior QuizOnline version Seismic clues about Earth's layers by Ellahyza Faith S. Villanueva 1 Scientists cannot directly observe Earth's interior because of its extreme depth and temperature. Which evidence best explains why seismic waves are used? a Seismic waves change their behavior as they travel through different Earth materials. b Seismic waves create new layers beneath Earth's surface. c Seismic waves allow scientists to collect rock samples from Earth's interior. d Seismic waves produce enough heat to melt rocks inside the Earth. 2 During an earthquake investigation, scientists observed that seismic waves traveled at different speeds through Earth's interior. What is the most reasonable conclusion based on this evidence? a Earthquakes occur only beneath the crust. b Earth has only three internal layers. c Earth's interior is made of materials with different properties. d Earth's interior is made of one continuous solid material. 3 A student claims that the crust is the thickest Earth layer because it is where people live. Which evidence best disproves this claim? a The crust extends to a depth of about 2,900 km. b The crust ranges from about 5 km to 70 km in thickness, making it the thinnest Earth layer. c The crust surrounds the inner core. d The crust is composed of iron and nickel. 4 Which observation best supports the idea that the lithosphere includes both the crust and the rigid uppermost mantle? a The lithosphere surrounds the inner core. b The lithosphere is composed mainly of liquid iron and nickel. c The lithosphere is a weak, partially molten layer beneath the crust. d The lithosphere forms a strong, solid layer that is broken into tectonic plates. 5 A geologist compares two Earth layers. One layer is rigid and broken into tectonic plates, while the other is weak and partially molten, allowing the plates to move. Which conclusion is most accurate? a The rigid layer is the lithosphere, while the weak layer is the asthenosphere. b The rigid layer is the outer core, while the weak layer is the mantle. c The rigid layer is the asthenosphere, while the weak layer is the lithosphere. d The rigid layer is the inner core, while the weak layer is the crust. 6 Which evidence best supports the claim that the mantle is Earth's thickest layer? a It has the smallest thickness among Earth's layers. b It is the outermost layer of Earth. c It extends from the base of the crust to a depth of about 2,900 km. d It is composed mainly of liquid iron and nickel. 7 A student describes a layer that is composed mainly of liquid iron and nickel and lies between the mantle and the inner core. Which Earth layer is being described? a Mantle b Outer core c Lithosphere d Crust 8 A model of Earth's interior shows that one layer is thicker than the inner core but thinner than the mantle. Which layer does the model most likely represent? a Asthenosphere b Lithosphere c Crust d Outer core 9 Which comparison between the outer core and the inner core is best supported by the evidence? a Both are composed mainly of iron and nickel, but the outer core surrounds the inner core. b Both are weaker, partially molten layers that allow tectonic plates to move. c Both are thinner than the crust and are located near Earth's surface. d . Both are part of the lithosphere and move as tectonic plates. 10 A student states that the inner core is the thickest layer because it is located at the center of Earth. Which evidence best evaluates this statement? a The statement is correct because the inner core surrounds the mantle. b The statement is incorrect because the inner core is the outermost layer of Earth. c The statement is incorrect because the inner core is thinner than both the mantle and the outer core but thicker than the crust. d The statement is correct because the inner core occupies the largest part of Earth's interior.
