Earth's Layers
The layers of earth we are on
The crust
This causes the movement of tectonic plates
The mantle
Where you can find MOST of the volcanoes on Earth?
Along plate boundaries
The atmosphere protects us from what.
The sun's rays.
the most abundant gas in the atmosphere
Nitrogen
The layer of earth responsible for earth's magnetic field
The outer core
The three different kinds of tectonic plates
Convergent, divergent, and transform
When volcanoes don't form on plate boundaries
hot spots
The layer where you can find the weather.
Trophosphere
The three types of heat transfer
Radiation, convection, conduction
The layer of earth that causes tectonic plates to move
The mantle
Convergent plates create this.
Mountains
Pyroclastics
Debris projected out of volcano vents like rocks and gases.
The layer where you can find the northern lights
The transfer of heat through waves and rays.
Radiation
Transform plates are responsible for this.
Earthquakes
The type of volcanoes created from effusive eruptions.
Shield volcanoes
Two characteristics of the stratosphere
Where the ozone is found and where jet airplanes fly
The effect that causes winds to shift to the right or left depending on the hemisphere
Coriolis Effect
The size of the inner core
The size of Mars
Divergent plates create this.
Midoceanic ridge
The difference between effusive and explosive eruptions.
Effusive eruptions are gently and slow with lava flows. Explosive eruptions are much more deadly with pyroclastics.
The layers of the atmosphere in a row
Trophosphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, exosphere
The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere
