Earth's layers
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Geosphere | The rock part of our planet, made up of 4 different layers |
| Asthenosphere | Soft, slow moving layer beneath Earth's crust. |
| Lithosphere | Earth;s rigid outer layer, made up of the crust that is mostly less solid than the crust |
| Outer core | The liquid metal layer that surrounds Earth's inner core |
| Inner Core | The solid innermost layer of earth's core made up of an iron-nickle alloy |
| Crust | The thin, hard outer layer of earth |
| The Innermost layer to the outermost layer | Inner core, outr core, mantle, crust |
| As you go deeper down in earth the pressure ______ | Increased |
| The solid meal ball of Nickel and iron | Inner Core |
| The liquid layer made of Nickel and iron | Outer Core |
| The movement of earths plate iby convection currents is which layer | The Mantle |
| What layer has these 3 rocks. Igneous, Metamorphic, and sedimentary | The Crust |
| THe list of coldest to hottest layer | Crust, mantle, outer core, inner core |
| The layer that makes the magnetic field | The Outer Core |
| Why is the inner core solid | The high pressure |
| The difference between Inner and outer core | The Outer core is liquid,d and the inner is a solid |
| Is the mantle a solid | THe mantle is a solid but can flow under pressure |
| The false statment | The inner core is hollow. |
| Mid Ocean ridges | Where molten material rises from the mantle and erupts |
| What does the mid ocean ridge do with rocks? | It pushes the rock to the sides and pushes new rock up to fill it in |
| The dude who everyone thought was insane? | Alfred Wegener |
| Alfred Wegener | The person who proves that the continents moved from their original position |
| Continental crust | Thickest of the crust, least dense crust, and made of granite |
| Oceanic crust | Thinner than cont. crust, it's more dense, and made of basalt |
| Mesosphere | Its after asthenosphere and it makes up part of the mantle |
| Why does sea floor spreading happen | Magnetic reversal, older rocks farther from mid ocean ridge, and pillow lava |
| CC process 1 | A:Density of mantle material is less then the material above it, because it is hot, so it starts to rise |
| CC process 2 | B:Rising mantle material hits the hard lithosphere and can't go any farther, so the temperature decreases |
| CC process 3 | C:The force of gravity is causing the denser material to fall down. |
| CC process 4 | The core heat causes the temperature to rise, there for the density decreases & the cycle repeats |
| Who was the man who made the theory about continental drift? | Alfred Wegener |
