Inferences/Observations
Density
Layers of the Earth
Earth's Interior
100
A logical deduction based on something you know or observe.
What is an inference?
100
mass/volume
What is density?
100
The outermost layer of the earth made of granite and basalt.
What is the crust?
100
This increases as you go deeper in to the earth.
What is temperature and pressure?
200
This uses your senses to gain knowledge.
What is an observation?
200
Density is measured in what?
What is g/cm cubed?
200
Earthquakes cause this.
What is seismic waves?
300
An observation that uses your senses.
What is a qualitative observation?
300
The density of pure water.
What is 1 g/mL?
300
The center layer of the earth made of iron and nickel.
What is the core?
300
This is a type of seismic wave that travels by a back and forth movement.
What is a P Wave
400
An observation that deals with numbers or amounts.
What is a quantitative observation?
400
Objects with a density less than 1 g/cm3 will float or sink.
What is float?
400
The zone of the earth that floats on top of asthenoshphere.
What is the lithosphere?
400
This wave travels by a up and down movement and is slower than P waves.
What is S waves
500
The type of observation that is more accurate.
What is a quantitative observation?
500
Objects with density more than 1 g/cm3 will float or sink.
What is sink?
500
The semi-liquid zone lovated in the upper-mantle.
What is the asthenoshphere?
500
A curved pattern due to change of speed and density.
What is refraction?
