Class 7 Geography Chapter 2 Inside Our Earth Exercise Questions and Answers

Question 1.
Answer the following questions :
(1) What are the three layers of the earth?
Answer:
The three layers of the earth are:

  • Crust
  • Mantle
  • Core

(2) What is a rock?
Answer:
The natural mass of mineral matter that makes up the earth’s crust is called rock.

(3) Name three types of rocks.
Answer:
Three types of rocks are:

  • Igneous rocks also known as primary rocks.
  • Sedimentary rocks.
  • Metamorphic rocks.

(4) How are extrusive and intrusive rocks formed?
Answer:
Extrusive rocks are formed due to the rapid cooling and solidification of molten magma on the earth’s surface. Intrusive rocks are formed when molten magma cools down deep inside the earth’s crust.

(5) What do you mean by a rock cycle?
Answer:
One type of rock changes to another type under certain conditions in a cyclic manner. This process of transformation of the rock from one to another is known as the rock cycle. Let’s understand it through example—Igneous rocks change into sedimentary rocks. When the igneous and sedimentary rocks are subjected to heat and pressure, they change into metamorphic rocks. The metamorphic rocks which are still under great heat and pressure meet down to form molten magma. This molten magma again can cool down and solidify into igneous rocks.

(6) What are the uses of rocks?
Answer:
Following are some uses of rocks:

  • They are used as fuels
  • They are used in industries
  • They are used in medicines
  • They are used in fertilizers

(7) What are metamorphic rocks?
Answer:
When the igneous and sedimentary rocks are subjected to heat and pressure they change into metamorphic rocks. For example, clay changes into slate and limestone into marble.

Question 2.
Tick the correct answer:
(1) The rock which is made up of molten magma is
(a) Igneous
(b) Sedimentary
(c) Metamorphic
Answer:
(a) Igneous

(2) The innermost layer of the earth is
(a) Crust
(b) Core
(c) Mantle

(3) Gold, petroleum, and coal are examples of
(a) Rocks
(b) Minerals
(c) Fossils
Answer:

(4) Rocks which contain fossils are
(a) Sedimentary rocks
(b) Metamorphic rocks
(c) Igneous rocks
Answer:

(5) The thinnest layer of the earth is
(a) Crust
(b) Mantle
(c) Core
Answer:
(a) Crust

Question 3.
Match the following:

Core Changes into slate
Minerals Used, for building roads and buildings
Rocks Made of silica and alumina
Clay Has the definite chemical composition
Sial Innermost layer

Answer:

Core Innermost layer
Minerals Has the definite chemical composition
Rocks Used, for building roads and buildings
Clay Changes into slate
Sial Made of silica and alumina

Question 4.
Give reasons :
(1) We cannot go to the centre of the earth.
Answer:
To reach the centre of the earth one will have to dig a hole 6000 km. deep on the ocean floor. This is quite impossible and therefore we cannot go to the centre of the earth.

(2) Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediments.
Answer:
Rocks break down into small fragments known as sediments. These sediments are transported and deposited by wind, water, etc. These loose sediments are compressed and hardened to form layers of rocks known as sedimentary rocks.

(3) Limestone is changed into marble.
Answer:
Limestone is changed into marble because igneous and sedimentary rocks change into metamorphic rocks under great heat and pressure.

FOR FUN

(1) What are the minerals most commonly used in the following objects?
Answer:

Karhai Iron
Ornaments Gold, silver,
Pan/Tawa iron
Bell copper, zinc, iron
Hammer Iron
Lamp copper, zinc
