Through the process of condensation and accretion, the formation of Earth and other planetary bodies was essentially complete 4.6 million years ago. </p><p> False </p><p>9. The innermost planets of the solar system are also referred to as the rocky or terrestrial planets, because of their similarities to Earth. </p><p> True 10. The upper mantle forms the outer most compositional layer of the solid Earth. </p><p> False </p><p>11. The rock cycle describes the movement and interactions of large segments of Earth's lithosphere. </p><p> False </p><p>12. A ______system allows the interchange of only energy, but not matter. CLOSED</p><p>13. Scientists distinguish three kinds of systems: isolated, closed, and ______. OPEN</p><p>14. The four open subsystems of the Earth system are the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and ______. BIOSPHERE</p><p>15. The ______cycle circulates water through various reservoirs: the ocean, the atmosphere, the lithosphere and the biosphere. WATER</p><p>16. The ______cycle is defined as: the set of crustal processes that form new rock, modify it, transport it, and break it down. ROCK</p><p>17. The ______cycle is defined as: movements and interactions in the geosphere and the internal Earth processes that drive them. TECTONIC</p><p>18. The growth process in which bits of solid matter gradually gathered together to form the planets is called ______. ACCRETION</p><p>19. The middle compositional layer of Earth, the______, lies between the core and the crust. </p><p> mantle </p><p>20. The concept of ______holds that the processes governing the Earth system today have operated in a similar manner throughout geologic time. </p><p> uniformitarianism 21. ______is concerned with the processes and the materials that compose the Earth. </p><p> Physical geology </p><p>22. ______, is concerned with the sequence of geologic events that have occurred in the past, through the study of fossils. </p><p> Historical geology </p><p>22. What are the subsystems of the Earth system? </p><p> The hydrosphere, the lithosphere, the atmosphere, and the biosphere </p><p>23. Rivers, lakes, ponds, glaciers, ground water and the oceans are the reservoirs of the ______. </p><p> hydrological cycle </p><p>24. When volcanoes erupt, the lava provides with nutrients to the soil. This type of interaction is between the ______</p><p> lithosphere and biosphere </p><p>25. Geysers are produced when rain water percolates the surface and gets heated by magma that boils this water, then this water resurfaces as a column of steam and hot water. This type of interaction is between the ______</p><p> hydrosphere and lithosphere </p><p>26. How much percentage of the Earth is solid? </p><p> 1% </p><p>27. What is the temperature that magma usually has inside a volcano? </p><p> 2,000 to 10,000 degrees Celsius </p><p>28. How many active volcanoes do we have on Earth at this time? </p><p> 1,500 29. What wa the biggest explosion that we had in modern times? </p><p> Tambora in 1,815 </p><p>30. What are the names of the three volcanoes discussed in lenght in the video? </p><p> 1) Eyjafjallajökull, Iceland 2) Vesuvius, Italy 3) Yelowstone, US </p><p>31.
