OCR A-Level Geography Updated Exam | Questions and Answers 100% CORRECT What are the 3 layers of the Earth? Correct Answer: *Crust* *Mantle* *Core* (inner and outer) What separates the crust and the mantle? Correct Answer: *Moho* What 2 layers does the upper mantle consist of? Correct Answer: *Lithosphere* (semi-core) Varies in thickness Boundary with asthenosphere difficult to define (melts and becomes incorporated in asthenosphere) *Asthenosphere* extends 100-300km Sem...

MTTC Integrated Science - Earth & SpacTheory of Plate Tectonics - ANSWER A theory stating that Earth's lithosphere is broken into huge plates that move and change in size over time - explains the process of continental drift - theory is a fusion on the theories of continental drift and seafloor spreading - continents are not floating on the ocean, rather they are rooted What are the 10 major plates of the Earth's lithosphere? - ANSWER African, Antarctic, Australian, Eurasian, North Ameri...

EARTH SCIENCE FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ALREADY PASSED What are the three primary layers of Earth, arranged from the center to the exterior, based on their composition? 1) Core - Comprising both a solid inner core and a liquid outer core, this layer consists mainly of an iron-nickel alloy and is under immense pressure. 2) Mantle - Occupying 82% of Earth’s volume, it is a solid, rocky layer surrounding the core. 3) Crust - The outermost layer, with oceanic crust featuring ...
