Earth Science Quiz

Earth science encompasses everything we know about our planet - From the molten core thousands of kilometres beneath our feet to the atmosphere that makes life possible. It includes geology (the study of rocks and minerals), seismology (earthquakes), atmospheric science, hydrology, and plate tectonics. Understanding Earth science helps us make sense of natural disasters, climate, resource extraction, and the 4.5-billion-year history of the planet we call home.

This quiz covers ten core earth science concepts: the layers of the Earth, rock types and their formation, the water cycle, earthquakes and how they're measured, tectonic plate types, and key terminology. It's ideal for students studying geography or physical science, or for anyone with a curiosity about how our world works.
