Question 1:

Medium

Consider that you are part of a research team that will investigate the properties of Earth's layers for a geological exploration project. Based on your knowledge, describe the distinct characteristics and the most relevant physical properties of the Earth's crust, mantle, and core. Explain how these differences influence the geological phenomena we observe, such as the movement of tectonic plates and the occurrence of earthquakes. In your explanation, include references to the concepts of density and physical state of the materials that make up each layer.

Question 2:

Hard

The upper mantle is responsible for the movement of tectonic plates, which are large blocks of land that float on the Earth's crust as if they were pieces of a giant puzzle. This movement gives rise to the so-called geological faults, which cause earthquakes and tsunamis when they slide against each other with enough force to generate ripples on the Earth's surface. What are the main factors responsible for the movement of these plates?
