What is a geyser?
200
This layer is solid and as hot as the Sun's surface.

Under Yellowstone National Park there is one of these.
What is a supervolcano?

400
Water on the surface of Earth.
What is surface water?
500
This layer is made of iron and nickle. It is liquid.
What is the outer core?
500
The point at which an earthquake's energy is released is called this.
