First view Lecture Set 2, read Chapter 2 in your textbook, and complete the Discussion Questions related to the same lectures & chapter. Many of the questions are derived from the Check Your Understanding box at the end of each section, while some come from the lecture concepts. Instructions Click “Take the Quiz” button to begin. Each question has its own set of instructions. Read carefully. Click “Submit” when finished. How you'll be graded You have three attempts to complete this assignment. There is no time limit on those individual attempts. Each question is worth a certain number of points, and you’ll earn points for each correct

The attempt with the highest score will automatically be recorded. You may look at your notes and textbook while doing the assignment. Or, to test your knowledge in preparation for the exam, you may want to take the first attempt without the aid of your notes or textbook. Tips For fill in the blank questions please be sure to spell words correctly as you will not receive credit if words are unrecognized or misspelled . Do NOT capitalize words or use commas for fill in the blank questions that require a numeric answer. The earth formed by aggregation because things with mass are attracted to one another according to the universal law of gravitation. The earth then became layered when it was mostly liquid, because __________ liquids sank and __________ liquids rose. According to the universal law of gravitation, gravitational attraction increases as _____.

One is related to the reflection of seismic waves from interfaces between layers. Another is related to the plumb-bob experiment. The experiment unexpectedly demonstrated that the whole earth is _____________ than mountains on the surface. Some materials will behave in a _________ way when subjected to high strain rate, but behave in a _________ way when they undergo slow strain (low strain rate). For ______________ materials, deformation is fully recoverable. Fill in the blanks in order to describe key characteristics of Earth's inner and outer core. Although both the inner and outer core mostly consist of iron, the outer core is

The two-layered iron core and its circulation generate an electromagnetic field. The crust and mantle and their circulation patterns generate an electromagnetic field.  Question 9 3 / 3 pts Divergent New lithosphere is created; g Convergent: continent-continent High, non-volcanic mountains liquid , whereas the inner core is solid . Fill in the blanks in order to describe the mechanical properties of two layers in the Earth. The asthenosphere generally behaves in a ductile way, whereas the lithosphere is generally rigid . Why does the Earth have a magnetic field? Match the type of tectonic boundary on the left with one of its key characteristics on the right.
