How hot is the inner core?
What is 3,000°.
100
What are the two types of the mantle?
What is UPPER MANTLE and the LOWER MANTLE.
100
What is the definition of the crust?
What is the brittle, rocky layer of Earth.
100
What is the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is the solid, outer part of Earth. Including the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust.
100
What is the mesosphere?
The mesosphere is the layer under the Earth that is under the lithosphere but above the outer core.
200
What is the outer core composed of?
What is iron and nickel.
200
How deep does the lower mantle go?
What is 1,400 miles.
200
Which type of crust lies underneath the ocean?
What is the oceanic crust.
200
In what language does lithosphere mean "ball of stone"?
What is Greek.
200
Is the mesosphere solid or a liquid.
What is solid.
300
How does the core produce Earth's magnetic field?
What is, the flowing liquid iron creates electrical currents that provides a magnetic field.
300
What is the upper mantle composed of?
What is pyroxene and Olivine.
300
What is the oceanic crust composed of.
What is basalt.
300
Where is the lithosphere thickest?
What is under the continents.
300
What is the asthenosphere?
What is the plastic layer within the mantle.
400
Does the core really rotate faster than the rest of the layer?
What is yes. In 1997, an experiment proves that the core spins faster than the rest of Earth.
400
What is the density of the lower mantle?
What is 5.5 tons per cubic meter.
400
What is the continental crust composed of?
What is granite.
400
What are the two types of the lithosphere?
What is the oceanic and the continental.
400
What is the depth of the Asthenosphere?
What is 60 - 150 miles.
500
What is the definition of the core?
What is the dense metallic center of Earth.
500
How deep is the upper mantle
What is 400 miles deep.
500
Why is the oceanic crust deeper than the continental crust?
What is the continental crust floats on top of the mantle like ice in water.

When you cut into Earth, it has a resemblance to this vegetable which is in the Amaryllidaceae family. It was also a life-saver in the movie "Holes". The very thin crust on top, the thick mantle underneath, and the huge core of liquid iron at the center.
What is an onion

Where did athenosphere get it's name?
The athenosphere gets it's name from Greek history because "athenosphere" means brittle and it's named for the materials it's made of.
