Earths Layer Questionnaire

The document consists of a questionnaire about Earth's layers, including questions on the crust, mantle, and core, as well as the properties and characteristics of these layers. It contains both lower-order thinking skills (LOTS) and higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) questions, along with an answer key for each section. The content is designed to test knowledge of Earth's composition and geological features.
