What is the correct order of Earth's compositional layers?
Crust, Upper Mantel, Lower Mantel, Outer Core, Inner Core.

While on a geological dig, you come across a large amount of igneous rock. You determined the date of the rock by relative dating and found it to be about 20,000 years old. Is there any way that you can confirm the age of the rock?
You can use absolute dating techniques to determine the age of the rock.
100
What will happen to the oxygen levels in our atmosphere if we continue with deforestation?
Trees will not be around to convert CO2 into O2 and the CO2 levels will rise.
100
Which statement describes the layer of rock closest to the surface?
Rocks closest to the surface are younger.

What is an accurate description of the movement of the tectonic plates in the diagram?
The Plate on the Left is denser than the plate on the Right, which results in subduction.

Since the crust floats on top of a liquid and flowing upper mantle, what inference can be made about the density of the two layers?
The Crust is LESS Dense than the upper mantle.
300
In what way does convection depend on the density of a substance?
Cooler fluids sink below warmer fluids because cooler fluids are denser.

Which is the most influential factor for the cause of so many endangered and extinct species?
A. loss of habitat B. oil spills
C. hunting D. global warming
Loss of habitat
300
Which statement correctly compares techniques used to determine rock ages?
Radioactive dating indicates absolute age, but the law of superposition indicates relative age.

In what way does convection depend on the density of a substance?
(Describe convection)

A geology student wants to apply the law of horizontality to determine the age of a rock taken from an area. What can the student determine about the rock based on this law?
The rock is the same age as all other rocks found in the same layer.
