Earth Layers Pt.1
The thinest layer of the earth is
What is the crust
This layer is the thickest
What is the mantel
This tectonic boundary causes earthquakes
What is transform?
This current pushes tectonic plates apart
What is convection currents
This is why we use the metric system in science
What is most of the world uses it
The honey-like layer is
What is the mantle
This layer slides along the "Honey"
What is the lithosphere
This boundary has two plates colliding
What is convergence
Convection currents cause this plate boundary
What is divergent
We measure mass in
What is grams
The most inner layer is called
What is the inner core
Where do convection currents take place?
What is the mantel
This boundary causes island chains
What is oceanic-continental convergence
When would a divergent boundary cause a ridge
What is underwater
We measure capacity in
What is Liters/mL
The only liquid layer of the earth
What is the outer core
The main difference between the inner and outer core
What is the inner is solid and outer is liquid
This plate boundary causes valleys
What is divergence
The famous ridge that split Africa and South America
What is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
Mass is
How much matter makes something up
These two layers make up the lithosphere
What is crust and the solid part of the mantle
What kind of field does the iron core in the center of the earth create?
What is a magnetic field
This is what happens to oceanic crust when it converges with continental crust
What is subduct
Why doesn't the earths crust keep making the earth bigger
What is it hits land, subducts, melts, and starts over agian.
Why do we measure mass instead of weight
What is weight can change due to gravity but mass does not
