Answer Key Section:


```

Question: What is the layer of the Earth that is composed of solid iron and nickel?

Answer: B) Core

Rationale: The core of the Earth is primarily made up of solid iron and nickel, with an
inner solid core and an outer liquid core.
```
```

Question: Which layer of the Earth is the thickest?

Answer: A) Mantle

Rationale: The mantle is the thickest layer of the Earth, located between the crust and the
core.
```
```

Question: The lithosphere is a part of which layer of the Earth?

Answer: C) Crust
Rationale: The lithosphere is the rigid outer part of the Earth, consisting of the crust and
the upper mantle.
```
```

Question: What is the outermost layer of the Earth called?

Answer: C) Crust

Rationale: The crust is the outermost layer of the Earth, where we live and where most
geological activity occurs.
```
```

Question: Which layer of the Earth is responsible for generating the planet's magnetic
field?

Answer: D) Inner core

Rationale: The Earth's magnetic field is generated by the movement of molten iron in the
outer core surrounding the solid inner core.
```
```

Question: The Mohorovičić discontinuity separates which two layers of the Earth?

Answer: B) Crust and Mantle

Rationale: The Mohorovičić discontinuity is the boundary between the Earth's crust and
the underlying mantle.
```
```

Question: The thinnest layer of the Earth is the

Answer: C) Crust

Rationale: The crust is the thinnest layer of the Earth, ranging from 5 to 70 kilometers
thick beneath the oceans and continents, respectively.
```
```

Question: What is the layer of the Earth that is made up of mostly solid rock?

Answer: C) Crust

Rationale: The crust is composed of solid rocks and minerals, varying in composition and
thickness.
```
```

Question: Which layer of the Earth is in a semi-liquid state?


Answer: A) Mantle

Rationale: The mantle is in a semi-liquid state, with the ability to flow over long periods of
time, influencing tectonic plate movements.
```
```

Question: The core of the Earth is divided into which two parts?

Answer: A) Inner core and Outer core

Rationale: The core of the Earth consists of an inner solid core and an outer liquid core,
both primarily composed of iron and nickel.
