Imagine a planet with no magnetic field Such a planet probably does not have a

liquid core

Battles over the control of straits are often related to the control of

shipping routes

If you could dig one foot per minute how long would it take you to dig through the Earth's crust

Months

The surface of the planet is broken into several

tectonic plates
Continents

If scientists were to watch a planet for millions of years and see no movement on the crust it might indicate that the planet has no

convection below the crust.

Battles over shipping routes often focus on the control of

straits

As the geology officer on an expedition to a newly discovered Earth like planet you must determine where to locate the first permanent settlement This planet has volcanoes and appears to have a crust

a young mountain range along a continental coast.

A civilization on a vast open plain with rich resources is likely to be

vulnerable to attack from warring civilizations.

As the geology officer on an expedition to a newly discovered Earthlike planet how might you determine whether the planet has a crust composed of plates that move

As the geology officer on an expedition to a newly discovered Earthlike planet, you might determine whether the planet has a crust composed of plates that move by chains of volcanoes along continental coastlines.
