3 Multiple Choice 2 points The Earth's Layers change the Earth's surface in TWO ways: 1. Creating geological hazards 2. Energy from the hydrothermal vents WHICH layers are most responsible for geological hazards and hydrothermal vents? ¿CUÁLES capas son las más responsables de los peligros geológicos y los respiraderos hidrotermales QUAIS camadas sâo mais responsàveis por perigos geológicos e fontes hidrotermais? QUELLES couches sont les plus responsables des alẻas gẻologiques et des cheminées hydrothermale Inner Core Both the Crust and the Mantle Outer Core Mantle Crust Clear my selection Previous

The layers most responsible for geological hazards (such as earthquakes and volcanoes) and hydrothermal vents are **both the Crust and the Mantle**. - **Geological Hazards**: These are primarily caused by the movement and interactions between the Earth's crust and the upper part of the mantle. Plate tectonics, which involve the crust and upper mantle (as the lithosphere and asthenosphere), lead to earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges. - **Hydrothermal Vents**: These are typically found at mid-ocean ridges where the oceanic crust is being formed. Magma from the mantle heats seawater, creating these vents that support unique ecosystems. **Correct Answer: Both the Crust and the Mantle** **Respuesta correcta:** Both the Crust and the Mantle
