The key (for the host: fold this page back)
- C: magma. When magma comes out onto the ground, we call it lava.
- B: on the ocean floor. Most of these underwater volcanoes sit along long ridges where the seafloor spreads apart.
- B: rock. Rain and frost wear away soft sandstone, slowly opening holes that become arches.
- B: a geyser. Old Faithful in Yellowstone is one of the most famous geysers in the world.
- C: ocean water. The ocean covers about 71 percent of Earth and holds most of its water.
- B: the crust. Compared with the layers below it, the crust is very thin, like the shell of an egg.
- B: Mount Everest. Its top is about 8,848 meters, or about 29,000 feet, above sea level.
- C: the Colorado River. The river still flows along the bottom of the canyon today.
