layers
Name three simple layers of earth
The crust, The mantle and The core.
Whats the first layer of the Atmosphere
Troposphere
Whats the biggest Ocean?
Pacific Ocean
Whats a volcano?
(simpler analogy's of complex definitions allowed)
A mountain or hill, typically conical, having a crater or vent through which lava, rock fragments, hot vapor, and gas are being or have been erupted from the earth's crust.
What is a magnetic field?
(simpler analogy's of complex definitions allowed)
How many complex layers are there?
There are 9 complex layers
Whats the biggest atmosphere layer
The Exosphere
What is an Ocean?
(The answer needs to be close to the real definition)
(doesn't need to be exact)
A very large expanse of sea, in particular each of the main areas into which the sea is divided geographically.
Whats the Ring of Fire?
The Ring of Fire, also referred to as the Circum-Pacific Belt, is a path along the Pacific Ocean characterized by active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes. Its length is about 24,900 miles long. It traces boundaries between several tectonic plates

Where does the magnetic field flow in and out of earth?
The magnetic field enters at the north pole and exits at the south
Name all Continents
Asia, Africa, Antarctica, North America, Australia/Oceania, South America and Europe.
Whats the reason we don't get bombarded with meteoroids all the time?
The Mesosphere.
What is a Sea?
(The answer needs to be close to the real definition)
(doesn't need to be exact)
A roughly definable area of our Oceans
A really large Lake
How does a Volcano Erupt?
Magma is lighter than rock so rises towards the Earth's surface. As the magma rises, bubbles of gas form inside it.
Runny magma erupts through openings or vents in the earth's crust before flowing onto its surface as lava.
If magma is thick, gas bubbles cannot easily escape and pressure builds up as the magma rises.
-BBC
From what part of earth does the magnetic field come from?
The outer core
Name all Continents in order from Smallest to Largest
Australia/Oceania, Europe, South America, North America, Africa and Asia.
Where does outer space start? and how far above is it from the sea level
Karman line. which is 62 miles above sea level.
Name all Oceans (there's 5)
Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Arctic Ocean, Indian Ocean and the Southern Ocean.
What do you call a volcano that erupts once and what do you call a volcano that can erupt multiple times?
Monogenetic and Polygenetic.
What does the Magnetic field save us from?
Generated by the motion of molten iron in Earth’s core, the magnetic field protects our planet from cosmic radiation and from the charged particles emitted by our Sun.
-NASA
Name 6 Complex Layers of the Earth
Inner Solid Core, Outer Molten Core, Lower Mantle, Mantle Transition, Solid Asthenosphere, Partially Molten Asthenosphere, Upper Most Mantle, Oceanic Crust, Continental Crust
Name all 5 layers of the atmosphere.
Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Troposphere and Exosphere.
Name 6 SEAS (not oceans)
Caspian Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Aral Sea, Red Sea, Arabian Sea, Sea of Okhotsk, Yellow Sea, Northwest Passage, Sea of Japan, South China Sea, Caribbean Sea, Bering Sea and Strait, North Sea, Black Sea, Persian Gulf and Baltic Sea.
Name 5 types of volcanoes.
Cinder Cone Volcanoes, Composite Volcanoes, Shield, Volcanic Domes, Maars and Tuff rings, Fissure Volcanoes, Volcanic Fields and Calderas.
What happens if earth loses its magnetic field
The earths magnetic field protects us by deflecting much of the incoming solar radiation. without it, our atmosphere would be stripped by solar winds and we would be bombarded with vast amounts of radiation. life would be over.
