II. True or False: Write True; if the statement is correct and False; if the statement is incorrect.
16.Heat is produced in the core that produces convection in the mantle, causing
lithospheric plates.
18. The innercore is the deepest layer of the Earth. It is made up of Nickel and
Iron.
19. The asthenosphere is the strong layer of the mantle on which the
lithosphere floats.
20. The temperature in the innercore reaches as high as 5000 degree Celsius.
The overall density of the Earth is much higher than the density of the rocks
in the crust.
21. The oceanic crust is around 7-10 kilometers thick which its average thickness
is 8 kilometers, found in the ocean floor and is made up of dense rocks such
as basalt.
22 .S waves are also called compressional waves,travel by particles vibrating
parallel to the direction the wave travel.
23. Surface waves can only travel through the surface of the Earth.
24.Generally, the higher the concentration of the reacting substances, the faster
is the reaction.
25. At lower temperature, chemical reactions occur at slower rates.
