6th Grade Midterm Science Review

Label the layers of the Earth inner core outer core Mantle Crust Which layer of the Earth includes the crust? atmosphere hydrosphere asthenosphere lithosphere Ricky is working on a class assignment of building a model of the Earth. While building the model, which layer should he make the thinnest layer? inner core crust outer core mantle Alex was building a model of the Earth using various foods. Which layer of the Earth would be best made from jello? inner core outer core mantle crust Why is the inner core made from solid metal, while the outer core is made of molten metal? The temperature of the inner core is higher than the outer core The temperature of the inner core is lower than the outer core The pressure of the inner core is higher than the outer core The pressure of the inner core is lower than the outer core Fill in the missing steps to the rock cycle. heat and pressure cementation compaction weathering and erosion deposition The process of weathering would most influence _ rocks. thermic igneous metamorphic sedimentary What will happen to sandstone, a sedimentary rock, when it is exposed to extreme heat and pressure It will erode It will become a metamorphic rock. It will become an igneous rock It will crystallize Rocks that can be found in the area of a volcano and have been cooled from a liquid state should be classified as igneous metamorphic sedimentary thermic Which of the following BEST describes a process by which metamorphic rock becomes igneous rock? weathering into sediments, then eroding compacting under pressure and cementing melting completely, then cooling changing shape under heat and pressure The earth’s crust is broken into plates. These plates are continuously moving because of movement below in the mantle. As the mantle is heated from the core, it rises to the surface. As the heated mantle gets farther away from the core, it cools. After it cools it eventually starts to descend back into the earth, bringing it close to the core again. This process is pictured below. What type of heat transfer is occurring in the mantle? Conduction Convection Radiation Specific During a warm summer day, a car became extremely hot. When a student went to open the car door, he burned his fingers. What two forms of energy were responsible for the student burning his fingers convection and conduction radiation and conduction convection and radiation convection and connection A student was cooking chicken in the frying pan below.What transfer of heat between the pan and the chicken is responsible for cooking the chicken? radiation convection electrical conduction Which of these types of energy conversions occur in a battery-powered flashlight? thermal to mechanical light to electrical thermal to chemical chemical to electrical Which type of energy transformation occurs when energy given off by splitting atoms is used to turn water into steam? thermal to light nuclear to thermal chemical to nuclear electrical to chemical Which of the following occurs during an energy transformation? energy disappears new energy appears energy changes form matter is created from energy Which element, that is essential for human life, is found in large amounts in both Earth's atmosphere and oceans? helium silica oxygen calcium The tectonic plate labeled A in the diagram is the Eurasian Plate Indo-Australian Plate Pacific Plate African Plate The tectonic plate labeled B in the diagram is the — Eurasian Plate Indo-Australian Plate Pacific Plate North American Plate Which tectonic plate is located at the center of the ring of fire? African North American Eurasian Pacific Which scientist's discovery led to the theory of plate tectonics? Albert Einstein Alfred Wegener Isaac Newton Edwin Hubble
