The rock portion of Earth, made up of different layers.

Soft, slow-moving laver, beneath Earths crust.

Earth's rigid outer/layer, made up of the crust and solid upper mantle that is broken into plates that move on to of the asthenosphere

Layer beneath Earths crust that is mostly less solid then the crust.

Liquid, metal layer surrounding Earths inner core

Solid ,metal, center of the Earth with high pressure and temp

The thin hard outer layer of the Earth

Earth's layers from inner most layer to outer most layer.

Inner core, Outer core, mantle, crust.

Earth's layers from coldest to hottest

crust,mantle, outer core, inner core.

The difference between outer core and inner core

the outer core is fluid and the inner core is solid.

tectonic plates located in this sphere

thickest of the crust, least dense of the crust, granite

thinner then continental crust, more dense, basalt

solid, most dense happen in the asthenosphere

continenta- contiental

-collision -2 continental crust collide, buckles up pushing the crust up.

ocean crust crashes into cont. crust subduction: the denser crust (oceanic) slides under the dense crust (cont. crust)

Denser ocean plate slides under the less dense ocean plate subduction: Trench under the water

The theory of all the contents being together. Evidence- rocks, fossils, glaciers, mountations, coast lines

Term	Definition
Geosphere	The rock portion of Earth, made up of different layers.
Athenosphere	Soft, slow-moving laver, beneath Earths crust.
Lithosphere	Earth's rigid outer/layer, made up of the crust and solid upper mantle that is broken into plates that move on to of the asthenosphere
Mantle	Layer beneath Earths crust that is mostly less solid then the crust.
Outer core	Liquid, metal layer surrounding Earths inner core
Inner core	Solid ,metal, center of the Earth with high pressure and temp
Crust	The thin hard outer layer of the Earth
Earth's layers from inner most layer to outer most layer.	Inner core, Outer core, mantle, crust.
The farther you go into the Earth the pressure ____	Increases
Which layer is a solid metal ball made mostly of iron and nickel	inner core
Mostly composed of liquid nickel and iron	outer core
The movement of Earths plates is caused by convection currents found within which layer.	mantle
Which layer is made of the three different types of rock, igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary.	crust
Earth's layers from coldest to hottest	crust,mantle, outer core, inner core.
Why Earths inner core is solid?	high pressure.
The difference between outer core and inner core	the outer core is fluid and the inner core is solid.
true or false, The mantle is solid but can flow under pressure	true
true or false, the inner core is hallow	false
lithosphere	tectonic plates located in this sphere
continental crust	thickest of the crust, least dense of the crust, granite
oceanic crust	thinner then continental crust, more dense, basalt
convection currents	solid, most dense happen in the asthenosphere
mantle	67% of Earths mass, magma.
mesosphere	middle phere
who came up with continental drift theory (CDT)	Alfred Wegener
continenta- contiental	-collision -2 continental crust collide, buckles up pushing the crust up.
continental-oceanic:	ocean crust crashes into cont. crust subduction: the denser crust (oceanic) slides under the dense crust (cont. crust)
oceanic-oceanic:	Denser ocean plate slides under the less dense ocean plate subduction: Trench under the water
CDT	The theory of all the contents being together. Evidence- rocks, fossils, glaciers, mountations, coast lines
