true
False. Most of the volume occupied by a piece of copper is taken up by the electrons moving around the copper nuclei. The size of the atomic nuclei is very small compared to the overall size of the atom.
False. More runoff can actually lead to more erosion, as the increased water flow can carry away soil particles and contribute to erosion.
False. The crust is actually thinnest under oceans, not high mountains. Mountain ranges are typically where the crust is the thickest due to the intense tectonic activity that creates them.
True, both the crust and mantle are composed of solid rock. The innermost part of the crust is also believed to be solid, although it may experience some plastic deformation under extreme pressures and temperatures.
False. P waves are the first seismic waves to arrive at a given location during an earthquake, followed by S waves. P waves are faster than S waves and are able to travel through both solids and liquids, while S waves can only travel through solids.
A mineral always contains certain elements in definite proportions
True. Solids have a definite shape and volume because their particles are closely packed and do not move freely past each other. This results in solids having a fixed shape and not flowing like liquids or gases.
False
False copper would be falsches Kupfer.
True. Liquids are able to flow and conform to the shape of their container due to their ability to move freely past one another. This property distinguishes liquids from solids, which maintain their own shape and volume.

False
False. Ions in ionic solids are arranged in a specific repeating pattern known as a crystal lattice, rather than randomly.
True
True. The majority of elements on the periodic table are solids at room temperature and pressure.
