last for hundreds of years?A. There is no
weathering on the moon.B. There is no wind or
water to erode the footprints.C. The footprints
on the moon are very deep because of the Apollo
astronauts shoes.D. The Apollo astronauts on

materials.
34COMPREHENSIONB B. There is no wind or water to
erode the footprints.
35COMPREHENSIONIf the center of Earth is its
hottest part, why is it solid?A. because the
core is made of metalB. because that is where
rocks come from, and rocks are solidC. because
the hotter things are, the more solid they areD.
because of the great pressure of the center of
Earth
36COMPREHENSIOND. because of the great pressure at
the center of Earth
37COMPREHENSIONWhat does it mean to say that
Earths plates float?A. The plates float on the
soft rock of the lower mantle, which has currents
like water.B. The plates float on the oceans,
which is why there is water underground.C. The
plates never become liquid rock or sink, so they
float.D. The plates only sometimes become liquid
rock, so they float.
38COMPREHENSIONA. The plates float on the soft
rock of the lower mantle.
