Layers
This is the thin, outermost layer of the Earth.
These waves are the fastest seismic waves.
What is P-Waves
This is one main source of Earth’s internal heat created.
What is Earths early formation or Radioactive Decay
Earth’s magnetic field protects us from these charged particles from the Sun.
What is Solar Winds
What law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed?
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy
This layer is the thickest layer of Earth, made mostly of solid rock that slowly flows.
What is the Mantle
These seismic waves can only travel through solids, not liquids.
What is P-Waves
This type of decay of unstable elements produces heat inside Earth.
What is Radioactive Decay
The magnetic field is created by the movement of this layer.
What is the Outer Core
What type of bond involves the sharing of electrons between atoms?
What is Covalent Bonds
This layer is a liquid and creates Earth’s magnetic field through convection.
What is the Outer Core
These waves arrive last on a seismograph and cause the most ground movement.
What is Seismic Waves
This term describes the slow transfer of heat by movement of heated material in the mantle.
What is Convection Currents
These beautiful lights near the poles are caused by charged particles interacting with the atmosphere.
What is Auroras
Which part of the cell is responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP?
What is the Mitochondira
This rigid layer includes the crust and uppermost mantle.
What is the Lithosphere
This point underground is where an earthquake actually starts.
What is the Epicenter or Focus Point
What collided together to cause earths early formation?
What is Planetismals
What is the process called of heat rising and cooler materials slinking called
What is Convection Currents
What type of star explosion occurs when a massive star collapses at the end of its life cycle?
What is a Supernova
What percentage of mass does the Mantle take up.
The area in which seismic waves cannot travel
What is the Shadow Zone
How hot is the core of Earth?
What is 9,000-13,000F
How often do earths magnetic field poles swap?
