Layers
Name the 3 layers of earth
What are crust, mantle, and core.
boundary where plates move past each other horizontally
What is transform boundary
This sphere includes all the air around the earth
atmosphere
Which layer of the earth has the most density? Why?
Inner Core, because all of the other layers are putting pressure on it.
boundary where plates move away from each other
What is divergent boundary
This sphere includes all the liquid water on earth.
hydrosphere
solid iron
What is the inner core made of?
where two pieces of crust come together
What is convergent boundary
The sphere of the Earth that includes living organisms
biosphere
oceanic and continental
What are the 2 types of crust?
What is subduction?
When convergent plates collide and one plate slides underneath the other
This sphere contains all the solid rock on earth
geosphere
Which layer has the upper mantle?
What is the asthenosphere
What are tectonic plates?
Large slabs of crust
Explain how 2 different spheres interact
animals living on land is bio and geo
animals drinking water is bio and hydro
etc.
