If the Earth’s structure is compared to an apple, which layer corresponds to the apple's skin?

Core Mantle Crust Outer Core

If the Earth’s structure is compared to an apple, which layer corresponds to the apple's center?

What does "active" mean in describing Kilauea as one of the world's most active volcanoes?

It erupts frequently. It has the largest crater. It is dormant but shows signs of life. It is always releasing gas.

On which tectonic plate are the Hawaiian volcanic islands located?

African Plate Pacific Plate Eurasian Plate North American Plate

Why is the main island of Hawaii the most recent volcanic island in the chain?

It formed due to an earthquake. It is the farthest from the tectonic hotspot. It is closest to the tectonic hotspot. It formed from oceanic sediment.

What is the difference between magma and lava?

Lava is found inside the Earth, while magma is found outside. Magma is molten rock inside the Earth, while lava is molten rock on the surface. Magma is cooler than lava. Lava contains more minerals than magma.

Why is Kilauea under an "orange warning" instead of a "red warning"?

There is no ash being ejected. The lava fountains are less than 100 meters high. The volcano is dormant. There are no gases being emitted.
