The earth has two types of crust, what are they?
Which layer of earth's interior is the thickest?
The Mantle
What two types of natural disasters are a result of convection?
Earthquakes and Volcanic Eruptions
The letter "O"
A pan heating on the stove is a direct example of which type of heat transfer?
Conduction
The ________ core is solid metal, due to pressure. The elements in the core are ________________ and their decay gives off large amounts of heat
Inner/Radioactive
Which layer of earth is responsible for it's magnetic field?
The Outer Core
Which layer of the earth has convection operate like a conveyor belt?
The Mantle
The more of this there is, the less you see, what is it?
Darkness
Convection is the heating of __________ and __________
Liquids/Gasses
Put these in the correct order from top to bottom: Asthenosphere, Outer Core, Inner Core, Crust, Lithosphere
Crust
Litho
Astheno
Outer
Inner
What is the outer core mostly made of? What state is the outer core in?
Molten Metal/Liquid
Igneous, due to the magma created by the heat in the interior
I am full of holes, but stronger than steel. What am I?
A chain
Hot air has _________ density than cold air, therefore hot air __________
Less/Rises
Which type of earth's crust is thinner and why?
Oceanic, because it is made of less solid land mass and contains mostly water
What temperature is the inner core?
6,000 degrees celsius
Convection works better in the asthenosphere because it has a more __________-like state, allowing particles to flow more freely. The lithosphere doesn't allow this to happen because it in a more _________ state
Liquid/Solid
A barrel of water weights 60 pounds, I put something in it and now it weighs 40 pounds. What did I put in it?
A hole
When you make pasta, what are the the two types of heat transfer occuring and explain each
Conduction (Stove to Pot)
Convection (Heating/Circulation of Liquid)
What types of metal are most common in the outer core?
Iron and Nickel
Why is the inner core solid?
Because the elements inside of the inner core have a much higher melting point than the outer core and other layers
Atoms (Particles) will always want to move to a state of ______________
Equilibrium
What word has kst in the middle, in, the beginning, and at the end?
Inkstand
