6 Evelyn is making a model of Earth to show how the physical layers correspond to the compositional layers. Which of the following should Evelyn show in her model? (Hint: Step 1. List the physical layers of Earth. Step 2. List the compositional layers of Earth. Step 3. Identify the statement that correctly relates the physical and compositional layers.)
A The physical layers exactly match the compositional layers.
B The crust is the only compositional layer not included in the physical layers.
C The physical layer of the asthenosphere includes the compositional layer of the crust.
D The physical layers of the inner core and outer core form a single compositional layer.
7 Which of the following is a major difference between Earth’s inner core and outer core?
A The inner core is liquid, and the outer core is solid.
B The inner core is solid, and the outer core is liquid.
C The inner core is gas, and the outer core is solid.
D The inner core is solid, and the outer core is gas.

8 Earth can be divided into five layers: the lithosphere, the asthenosphere, the mesosphere, the outer core, and the inner core. Which properties are used to make these divisions?
A compositional properties C chemical properties
B physical properties D elemental properties

9 The illustration below shows some of Earth’s tectonic plates. The arrows indicate the direction in which some of these plates are moving.
Based on the direction of the Cocos Plate, what type of plate boundary likely exists between the Cocos Plate and the Caribbean Plate? (Hint: Step 1. Analyze the likely relative motions of the Caribbean Plate and the Cocos Plate. Step 2. Relate the relative motions of plates to the type of plate boundary.)
Gridded ResponseWrite your answer in the boxes, then bubble in the corresponding number in the grid below.

10 The table below identifies the relationship between the strength of earthquakes and how often earthquakes happen.
Worldwide Frequency of Earthquakes of Different Magnitudes

Approximately how many earthquakes classified as moderate to great happen each year?
Critical ThinkingAnswer the following questions in the space provided.

11 Explain how a convergent boundary is different from a transform boundary. Then, name one thing that commonly occurs along both convergent boundaries and transform boundaries.
12 Explain how forces from tectonic plate movement can build these three types of mountains: folded mountains, fault block mountains, and volcanic mountains.

13 The diagram shows the five physical layers of Earth.
Identify the physical layers A, B, and C. Describe the relationship between these layers and how this relationship is important to understanding the function of the different layers of Earth’s interior.
