composition. The three compositional layers of Earth are the
core, the mantle, and the crust. Which of these answers best
describes the core?

Florida and the Atlantic ocean surrounding Florida are a part

of the North American plate. Therefore, although Florida faces
the Atlantic ocean, it is not at a tectonic plate boundary with
an oceanic plate. However, plate boundaries can occur
between continental plates and oceanic plates as shown in
the figure below.

What can you conclude from this figure?

The two tectonic plates are sliding The two tectonic plates are
A past each other horizontally along C converging so that a mountain range
Earth’s surface forms on the continent.

The two tectonic plates are diverging The two tectonic plates are moving
B causing the continental plate to buckle D apart to create a mid-ocean ridge on

Jessica and Samantha were studying for their Earth Science

test about the layers that make up Earth. They were having
trouble remembering which layers were defined by Earth’s
compositional structure, and which were defined by its
physical structure. Which statement correctly lists all of
Earth’s layers as defined by its compositional structure, in the
correct order moving from external to internal layers?
crust, outer mantle, inner mantle,
A crust, mantle, core C outer core, inner core

lithosphere, asthenosphere,
B mesosphere, outer core, inner core D lithosphere, mantle, core

QUESTION 5

about the three compositional layers of the solid Earth.

Which statement correctly describes Earth’s layers according

to the data in the table?
The external compositional layer is The external compositional layer is
A the thinnest of the three layers. C composed of ferro-magnesium
silicates.

The middle layer is the thickest of The thickest compositional layer is

B Earth’s compositional layers D composed of alumino-silicate

QUESTION 6

Earth’s mantle contains solid rock that is very hot and flows
slowly. The cooler rock sinks as the warmer rock rises
because of differences in density. What is the scientific term
for this type of movement?
A sea-floor spreading C convection
