Crust
This material makes up the composition of the continental crust.
What is granite?
This best describes the asthenosphere.
What is a soft layer just below the lithosphere?
True or false....the outer core is the last layer of the Earth.
What is false?
Extreme pressure makes this layer a ____________ .
What is solid?
We rely on indirect evidence from this to understand the interior of Earth.
What is seismic waves?
This layer has plasticity(acts like a solid and liquid)
What is the asthenosphere
What are the thinnest parts of the crust?
The Oceanic crusts
This material makes up the composition of the oceanic crust.
What is basalt?
This best describes the lithosphere.
What is a rigid layer that includes the upper part of the mantle and crust?
Movements in the outer core create Earth's____________.
What is magnetic field?
The inner core is the ______________ layer.
What is the hottest?
The temperature inside the Earth’s core is comparable to?
What is the sun?
The mantle is known to have these types of currents.
What is convection currents
What is the asthenosphere?
The soft layer of the mantle.
This is the thicker part of the crust with a thickness of 10-70 km.
What is the continental crust?
These two parts make up the upper mantle.
What is lithosphere and asthenosphere?
This layer is made up of this liquid.
What is molten liquid?
How Hot is it in the Inner Core?
5000 degrees Celsius
As pressure within Earth decreases, temperature within Earth
What is decreases.
The continents slowly moving on the Earth surfaces is know as?
What is continental drift theory.
What is the Lithosphere?
A rigid layer of the upper most mantle
The continental and oceanic crust are both this state of matter.
What is solid rock?
This part of the mantle is a solid material that flows.
What is the lower mantle?
The most significant elements (metals) in the core are these two elements.
What is iron and nickel?
The inner core is solid even though it's the hottest layer because of this.
What is extreme pressure?
This is the order of the layers from the outermost point to the inner most point.
What is crust, mantle, outer core and inner core?
This layer is plastic-like and allows the crust to flow over it?
What is the Asthenosphere
This layer is responsible for the crust's movement
What is the mantle because of convection currents.
The crust is the thinnest or thickest layer of the earth.
What is thinnest?
The mantle is the thinnest or thickest layer of earth.
What is thickest?
This layer is ___________ than the inner core.
What is thicker?
The most significant elements (metals) in the core are these two elements.
What is iron and nickel?
As you move from the lithosphere to the core the density ___________ .
What is increases?
The Heat from a light bulb would cause what type of reaction
What is Radiation
The ------------ floats on top of the asthenosphere?
The lithosphere floats on top of the asthenosphere.
