Name: ___________________________________ Date: _____________ Block:_____________ EARTH SYSTEMS QUIZ 1 REVIEW-ACE THIS QUIZ!!! 1. Which best summarizes the composition of the surface of the Earth? a. Three-fourths of surface is covered by land b. One fourth of surface covered is by water c. Earth’s surface contains more land than water d. Earth’s surface contains more water than land 2. What is the basic composition of the Earth’s core? a. The solid inner core is surrounded by liquid outer core b. The liquid outer core is surrounded by solid inner core c. Both inner and outer core are solid d. Both inner core and outer core are liquid 3. Which best explains from the periodic table the most abundant in Earth’s crust? a. Aluminum and silica b. Iron and silica c. Iron and nickel d. Copper and nickel 4. Which of the following term associations is false? a. Lithosphere-tectonic plates b. Asthenosphere-molten plastic like rock c. Outer core-mostly smooth solid rock d. Continental crust-contains rigid solid rock 5. What is so different about the inner and outer core? 6. Which layer of earth produces the magnetic field? 7. The plates that make up the top of the earth are called the: a. Lithosphere b. Asthenosphere c. Mesosphere 8. Which layer has the molten rock? a. Lithosphere b. Asthenosphere c. Mesosphere 1 WORD BANK: Lithosphere, asthenosphere, mantle, crust, inner core, outer core, convection current, molten, tectonic plates, mantle 9. I am the most superficial layer of the Earth’s surface 10. I contain rock that is molten and plastic like. I am the top portion of the mantle 11. I contain rock that is solid due to all the pressure that is exerted on me. It’s very hot here! 12. I contain rock that is liquid, and it’s very hot! 13. I am named because the lithosphere is broken up into slabs 14. Rock in this part of me is rigid and the top part of me is molten. I have an upper and lower part and sit under the crust 15. Scientists think that this occurs in the mantle that causes tectonic plates to move 16. What causes the movement of tectonic plates? a. Gravitational pull between Earth and Moon b. Convection occurring beneath Earth’s crust c. Energy produced by earthquakes within the Earth d. Rotation of liquid rock found within the core 17. Which layer of Earth’s structure is believed to make up the majority of its mass and volume? a. Mantle b. Magma c. Crust d. Core 18. _________________ is the transfer of heat from one place to another by the movement of fluid a. Evaporation b. Condensation c. Convection d. Continental drift 2 19. The most superficial layer of the earth is called the __________________, and the top portion of the mantle is called the ________________. a. Asthenosphere, lithosphere b. Lithosphere, mesosphere c. Lithosphere, asthenosphere d. There is no sphere! 20. When two plates move toward each other, this is called a ____________ boundary, or also __________________ plate boundary 21. When two plates move away from each other, this is called a _________________ boundary or also a _______________________ plate boundary 22. When two plates slide past each other, this is called a _________________- boundary. 23. Crust is neither created or destroyed in a transform boundary TRUE OR FALSE 24. Crust is destroyed in a divergent boundary TRUE OR FALSE 25. New crust is formed in a divergent boundary TRUE OR FALSE 26. Give an example of a well -known transform boundary. What occurs at this boundary? Word bank: (not all words are used!) convergent, divergent, subduction, earthquake, transform, mountains, trenches, continental, oceanic 27. When two plates move toward each other this is a ______________ boundary. 28. One plate goes under another and this is called _______________. 29. When two plates move away from each other, it is called a __________________ boundary. 30. When two plates slide past each other, this is called a __________________ boundary. 31. When plates slide past each other an ______________ occurs. 3 32. When two oceanic plates converge, what is formed? 33. When an oceanic plates converges under a continental plate, the _________________ plate subducts under the ________________________ plate. 34. Which two convergent boundaries can form a trench? 35. Which two convergent boundaries can form a mountain? 36. In which convergent boundary is a mountain formed where the crust is squashed together? 37. Which layer of Earth is directly below the crust? A) outer core B) inner core C) mantle D) mesosphere 38. Earth's crust is divided into: A) upper crust and lower crust B) mountain crust and valley crust C) continental crust and oceanic crust D) eastern crust and western crust 39.
