1. Which of the following is the correct order for the layers of Earth from coolest temperature to warmest temperature? a. Crust, mantle, core c. Core, mantle, crust b. Mantle, crust, core d. None of the above 2. As you move from the surface of Earth to the inner core, what happens to the temperature? a. It increases c. It stays the same b. It decreases d. It increases, then decreases c. Mantle d. Outer core 3. What layer has convection currents? a. Inner core b. Crust 4. Which of the following is NOT a major process that has contributed to Earth's internal heat? a. heat from radioactivity of radioactive isotopes of U, Th and K b. heat from the sun since the beginning of Earth history c. heat released as iron crystallized to form the inner core d. heat released by colliding particles during the formation of the Earth 5. Why do geologists believe that convection, rather than conduction, in order for heat to transfer from the core to the crust? a. Conduction of heat is far too fast and inefficient relative to convection, so the Earth would heat up to a higher temperature than it is now. b. Conduction of heat is far too fast and efficient relative to convection, so the Earth would have cooled completely by now. c. Conduction of heat is far too slow and inefficient relative to convection, so the Earth would not have produced much cooling thus far. d. Conduction of heat is far too slow, but efficient relative to convection, so the Earth would have cooled almost completely by now.
