Earths Layers
What is the most outer layer of the Earth?
The most outer layer of the Earth is the crust.
Which is lighter: oceanic or continental crust?
Continental
How are volcanoes formed?
Volcanoes form when magma from Earth's mantle makes it to the surface.
What does SCUBA stand for?
Self-contained underwater breathing apparatus.
What type of eye protection should you wear when in the lab?
Goggles
What are the different layers of the Earth?
The different parts are the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core.
What happens at a convergent plate boundary?
Two tectonic plates converge/collide with each other.
What are the different stages of a volcano?
The three main categories are dormant, active, and extinct.
What problems can occur while SCUBA diving?
You can get decompression sickness, also known as, the bends.
Why shouldn't you horse-play in the labs?
You could potentially hurt others, you could damage and break lab equipment.
How many layers are there on the Earth?
There are 4.
What happens at a divergent plate boundary?
Two plates diverge/move apart from each other.
There are more than 1500 active volcanoes on the Earth.
How can you avoid problems while SCUBA diving?
Eat well, exercise, get rest, and avoid harmful and stressful habits.
How should you put out a fire in the lab?
You should use a fire extinguisher.
What materials make up the inner core?
The inner core is primarily made up of iron and nickel.
What happens at a transform plate boundary?
Two plates will slide past each other.
What is the difference between magma and lava?
Magma is liquid rock inside a volcano, lava is liquid rock that flows out a volcano.
Can you encounter temperature problems while diving?
What should you do if there is a discrepancy in your experiment?
You should contact an instructor immediately?
How deep is the Earth's crust?
The Earth's crust ranges from 5 to 60 kilometers.
What kind of geological feature will form in the effect of a convergent boundary?
Strong Earthquakes, volcanoes, and mid-atlantic ridges.
Why does it take so long for volcanoes to cool down?
Lava cools slowly because lava is a poor conductor of heat.
How can you avoid breathing problems while diving?
Never hold your breath while ascending.
Can you wear any type of shoe in the lab?
NO, you have to wear some type of protective footware.
