1.Most geologic processes are driven by<\/p>\n

the hydrologic cycle.<\/p>\n

solar input.<\/p>\n

internal heat.<\/p>\n

long-term erosion.<\/p>\n

2.The principle of uniformitarianism maintains that we should<\/p>\n

treat all events as having the same cause.<\/p>\n

disregard evidence of sudden events.<\/p>\n

use past events to interpret present events.<\/p>\n

use present events to interpret past events.<\/p>\n

3.One surprising feature of Earth\u2019s interior is that<\/p>\n

it is much denser than the exterior, so it isn\u2019t all made of \u201crock.\u201d<\/p>\n

it is much less dense than the exterior, so it isn\u2019t all made of \u201crock.\u201d<\/p>\n

it is about the same density at all depths, so the composition is uniform (except for pressure effects).<\/p>\n

its density cannot be determined by available methods.<\/p>\n

4.The Mohorovicic discontinuity (the Moho) is the boundary between the crust and the mantle. Therefore it is primarily a<\/p>\n

boundary based on behavioral differences.<\/p>\n

boundary based on compositional differences.<\/p>\n

boundary based on political differences.<\/p>\n

boundary based on obsolete differences.<\/p>\n

5.The base of the lithosphere separates this layer from the underlying asthenosphere. It is primarily<\/p>\n

a behavioral boundary.<\/p>\n

a compositional boundary.<\/p>\n

a political boundary.<\/p>\n

an obsolete boundary.<\/p>\n

6.Tectonic plates are best described as<\/p>\n

pieces of crust.<\/p>\n

pieces of mantle.<\/p>\n

pieces of lithosphere.<\/p>\n

pieces of asthenosphere.<\/p>\n

pieces of hydrosphere.<\/p>\n

7.Earth\u2019s magnetic field is generated by<\/p>\n

magnetic minerals in the mantle.<\/p>\n

solar radiation in the atmosphere.<\/p>\n

industrial activities in the northern hemisphere.<\/p>\n

rotation of the inner core.<\/p>\n

circulation in the outer core.<\/p>\n

8.Earth\u2019s overall chemical composition differs from Jupiter\u2019s because<\/p>\n

they differ in age.<\/p>\n

one was captured from a passing solar system.<\/p>\n

they formed at different distances from the Sun.<\/p>\n

Jupiter is larger.<\/p>\n

Earth has a relatively large Moon (almost a twin planet).<\/p>\n

9.Explain the difference between a hypothesis and a theory. While doing so, avoid words such as proof, proven, and true. Feel free to use words such as evidence, support, and useful.<\/p>\n

10.Name and describe the two layers inside Earth that are undergoing convection and indicate one major consequence of each.<\/p>\n

11.Briefly explain P waves and S waves and how their reflection and refraction can provide insight into Earth\u2019s internal structure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
