EARTH SCIENCE CERTIFICATION SCRIPT
2026 QUESTIONS WITH SOLUTIONS
GRADED A+
◍ geosphere.
Answer: the mostly solid, rocky part of the Earth
◍ law.
Answer: a fact of nature that is generally known to be true
◍ quantitative data.
Answer: Information obtained by counting or measuring
◍ Differentiate the compositional and structural layers of the Earth..
Answer: Composition is based on what the layers are made of. The
structural layers are based on how the layers work together.
◍ Environmental Science.
Answer: The study of the natural processes that occur in the environment
and how humans can affect them.
◍ What are the basic componets of the Universe?.
Answer: matter and energy
◍ What is the core mainly made of?.
Answer: Ni & Fe
◍ Describe the shape of the Earth. Explain why it is shaped this way..
Answer: The Earth is an oblate spheroid. This means it is a slightly
"squished" sphere. It is shaped this way due to the rotation of the Earth on
its axis.
◍ Biosphere.
Answer: All life forms on Earth
, ◍ closed system.
Answer: a system in which energy, but not matter , is exchanged with the
surroundings
◍ Earth Science.
Answer: the science that focuses on planet Earth and its place in the universe
◍ How does the transfer of energy throughout an ecosystem begin?.
Answer: Plants capture solar energy through photosynthesis.
◍ independent variable.
Answer: The experimental factor that is manipulated or changed
◍ system.
Answer: a set or interacting components considered to be a distinct physical
entity for the purpose of study
◍ 2/3 of Earth's mass.
Answer: mantle
◍ mesophere.
Answer: the strong lower part of the mantle between the asthenosphere and
the outer core
◍ Geology.
Answer: The study of Earth, its materials, and processes past and present;
study of the origin, history, and structure of the Earth
◍ weight.
Answer: how strong the pull of gravity is on an object
◍ State and explain the 1st Law of Thermodynamics..
Answer: Energy cannot be created or destroyed but can transferred between
systems. This means that all the energy we have now is all the energy we
will ever have.
◍ Geosphere.
Answer: All the layers of Earth; extends from the center of the core to the
