Layers of the Atmosphere
This is the layer of the earth, in which we live in and weather is formed.
Troposphere
This layer of the Earth is the thinnest layer
Crust
This method is used to solve the following: If you start with a sample of ‘x’, how much will be left in ‘y’ years?

This type of plate boundary slides past each other, one of the most famous examples being the San Andres Fault
Transform
This two minor layers make up the Thermosphere
Ionosphere and Exosphere
This layer of the earth is the thickest layer
Mantle
Uranium decays in this this element.

Roman Numerals (I - XII)
The Atmosphere is this percent Nitrogen and this Percent Oxygen
79% and 21%
These two elements make up the core

This U.S. State, along with Hawaii, has many active volcanoes that is located on the Ring of Fire.
Alaska
The stratosphere contains the ozone layer, which also goes by this name.
Ozonesphere
Hot molten rock, under the crust, not the mantle, but goes by this name:
Lithosphere
