| This layer includes molten iron and nickel and creates the earth's magnetic field. | outer core |
| This solid inner layer is made of nickel and iron and is under extreme pressure. | inner core |
| The line that divides the crust from the mantle | moho |
| The layer of the earth that people live on | crust |
| How would you describe the crust | it is cool and includes tectonic plates, continents and oceans |
| How would you best describe the inner core? | It is made of solid metal and very HOT! |

| The core is made primarily of what metals? | iron and Nickle |
| What is the reason the inner core is solid? | there is extreme pressure from all of the other layers pressing on it. |
| What does the movement of tectonic plates cause? | earthquakes |
| The slow-moving plastic-like layer of the mantle is also referred to as the what? | asthenosphere |
