Harry MillerHess MartinHarry HessHamilton Hess 5 Why must scientists rely on indirect methods to study the earth's interior? Current technology owned by China is too expensive to utilize to study the earth's interior.We do not currently have the means to actually observe the interior of the earth.Indirect methods are appropriate since we know everything about the earth's interior.None of the above 6 Give three examples of edible models that depict earth's layers. Boiled egg, kiwi, cream filled cupcakeBoiled egg, orange, onionBoiled egg, cream filled cupcake, onionBoiled egg, onion, watermelon 7 What is the relationship between pressure and temperature when considering the depth of the earth? Pressure increases and temperature decreasesPressure decreases and temperature increasesPressure increases and temperature increasesPressure decreases and temperature decreases 8 What is the boundary between the crust and mantle called? HohoMomoMohoHomo 9 What are the two types of crust called? Mesosphere and asthenosphere crustsOceanic and mantle crustsLithosphere and pahoehoe crustsOceanic and continental crusts 10 What type of rock is the crust made of?

Lithosphere crust and granite rockOceanic crust and basalt rockContinental crust and granite rockLithosphere crust and igneous rock 12 What is the crust beneath the continents called, and what type of rock is found? Lithosphere crust and granite rockOceanic crust and basalt rockContinental crust and granite rockLithosphere crust and igneous rock 13 What is the layer of hot rock between the crust and the core? CrustMantleOuter coreInner core 14 The soft layer found below the lithosphere is called the _______. MantleMesosphereAsthenosphereMetalosphere 15 The Greek word "lithos" means ________. LightLithosphereLithiumStone 16 What is the thickest layer of the earth? Inner coreOuter coreMantleCrust 17 Using abbreviations for the periodic table, identify the metallic composition of the inner and outer core. Calcium (Ca) and Carbon (C)Iron (Fe) and Nickel (Ni)Copper (Cu) and Zinc (Zn)Iron (Fe) and Cromium (Cr) 18 The temperature of the inner core is 4000 degrees C. You would expect it to be in a liquid state, but it is not. Please explain. The pressure is relatively weak and forms a gas.The pressure is too great and forms a gas.The pressure is too weak and forms solid.The pressure is too great and forms a solid. 19 There are eight main elements that compose the Earth's crust.
