Crust
What layer of the Earth do we live on?
The crust.
Which layer is directly below the crust?
The mantle.
Is the outer core solid or liquid?
: Liquid.
Is the inner core solid or liquid?
Solid.
What does R.O.A.R stands for?
RESPONSIBLE, ON-TASK, AWARENESS, RESPECTFUL
Is the crust more or less dense than the mantle
: Less.
Is the mantle solid, liquid, or both? (Use a short phrase.)
Mostly solid but behaves like a slow-moving fluid (both); acceptable: solid that flows slowly.
The outer core is mainly made of which metal? (one-word answer
Iron.
The inner core is mostly made of which metal?
Iron (and nickel).
What is a non-negotiable within school settings?
Cursing, Fighting, Bullying
Give one main material the crust is made of (name a rock type or element)
granite, basalt, silicon, oxygen (accept one correct rock or common element).
Name one property of the mantle: higher or lower temperature than the crust?
Higher temperature.
Compared to the mantle, is the outer core hotter or cooler?
Hotter.
Compared to the outer core, is the inner core under more or less pressure?
More pressure.
What is one major rule Dr.Shackleford enforces during the lunch period?
Do not talk during the entering of the cafe and until everyone is seated
About how thick is the Earth's crust compared to the other layers: very thin, medium, or very thick?
Very thin.
The mantle is made mostly of rocks rich in which elements: iron and magnesium, or oxygen and silicon? (Choose one.
Iron and magnesium.
Why is the outer core important for Earth's magnetic field? (one short sentence)
Its moving liquid iron creates Earth's magnetic field.
Explain in one sentence why the inner core can be solid even though it's hotter than the outer core
Because extreme pressure keeps it solid despite high temperatures.
Describe how we are expected to act during transitioning to and from connections
Each student should be facing forward quietly going to assigned classes. No student should get water or attempt to enter the restroom
Explain one reason the crust is cooler than deeper layers (use a simple cause).
Because it's farthest from the hot center / heat from the core must travel through other layers first
Describe how the mantle's movement (convection) affects the crust in one sentence.
Mantle convection moves tectonic plates, causing earthquakes and volcanoes.
Describe how density of the outer core compares to the crust (use "more" or "less" and one word: dense/less-dense).
More dense.
Compare the inner core and crust in one sentence that mentions temperature and density (use simple words).
The inner core is much hotter and more dense than the crust.
