During continental drift, the drifting plates move across which of the following?

51% Answer Correctly

	sediment
	fault lines
	liquid mantle
	water

Solution

The crust and the rigid lithosphere (upper mantle) is made up of approximately thirty separate plates. These plates more very slowly on the slightly more liquid mantle (asthenosphere) beneath them. This movement has resulted in continental drift which is the gradual movement of land masses across Earth's surface. Continental drift is a very slow process, occurring over hundreds of millions of years.

Which of the following represents the largest value?

61% Answer Correctly

	1 cL
	1 ML
	1 kL
	1 mL

Solution

Mega (M) is 10⁶, kilo (k) is 10³, centi (c) is 10^-2, milli (m) is 10^-3 so 1 ML represents the largest value.

The number system most used in science is the:

94% Answer Correctly

	American system
	British system
	English system
	metric system
