\n1.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

3.One surprising feature of Earth’s interior is that<\/p>\n
it is much denser than the exterior, so it isn’t all made of “rock.”<\/p>\n
it is much less dense than the exterior, so it isn’t all made of “rock.”<\/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’s 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’s overall chemical composition differs from Jupiter’s 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’s internal structure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
