This document contains a chapter review on the living planet with multiple choice questions about the earth's structure and geological processes. It covers topics like the mantle, epicenters, relief, volcanoes, the Richter scale, weathering, ocean currents, tectonic plate boundaries, glaciation, tsunamis, erosion, and divergent plate boundaries. The final question asks about the term for when rock is changed into a new substance through interaction with air or water, which is answered as "chemical weathering."
