asthenosphere, lithosphere, atmosphere
5. The theory of plate tectonics helps scientists explain _____.

how ocean currents move over Earth's surface
why hurricanes occur
how earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur
why Earth's core is less dense than the mantle
6. What is the driving force for the movement of the lithospheric plates?
(1 point)
heat from the sun
unequal distribution of heat within Earth
heat in the atmosphere
unequal distribution of heat in the oceans
7. According to the plate tectonics model, what layers form Earth's rigid, mobile plates?
(1 point)
inner and outer core
upper and lower mantle
crust only
crust and upper mantle
8. The distance, measured in degrees, north and south of the equator is referred to as _____. (1 point)
longitude
latitude

the poles
 
here are my best guesses...and im a science major in college so idk if thats good or bad to you? but here goes:
astrology
helium and hydrogen
hydro, atmos, litho, bio
asthenos, litho, atmos
earthquakes and volcanoes
unequal distribution of heat within the earth
crust only
latitude

hope that helps! the only ones im not too sure about are the nebular hypothesis question and the parts of the geosphere
