layers/continental drift

        Help!  

Question
Answer
what are the four main layers of the Earth   Mantle, inner core,outer core, crust  
🗑
is a solid ball with the radius of about 1,220 km. (a solid sphere in the fluid core such as the iron-nickel core.)   Inner core  
🗑
Is a liquid layer about 2,266 km composed of iron and nickel that lies about Earth's solid inner core and below the mantle   Outer core  
🗑
_____ does not change much from one part of the mantle to another, however, physical conditions change because of pressure and temperatures increase with dept.   Mantle  
🗑
The _______ is Earth's layer, including both land surface and the ocean floor. The ____ averages 32 km thick. Composition- oxygen, silicon, aluminum, calcium, iron, sodium, potassium, and magnesium.   Crust  
🗑

🗑

🗑
a wave produced by an earthquake   seismic wave  
🗑
a force that builds up features of Earth's surface   constructive force  
🗑
a rock that makes up much of the ocean floor   basalt  
🗑
what is the difference between oceanic continental crust?   The oceanic consist of mostly of dense rocks such as basalt; Continental crust forms the continents and consists mainly of less dense rocks such as granite.  
🗑
who created the theory of continental drift   alfred weagner  
🗑
did scientist aprove of this theory, yes or no   no  
🗑
name the proof alfred weagner had   from fossils, landforms, climate  
🗑
true or false, is the inner core as hot as the sun   true  
🗑
true or false, the deeper you are in the Earth the more pressure and heat there is.   true  
🗑
true or false, oceanic crust is thinner than continental crust   true  
🗑
