Layers of the Earth

Study Slideshow

Which two layers of the earth are solid and non-flowing?

crust & inner core

15

What is the order of the Earth's layers from COOLEST to HOTTEST?

Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core

15

If you were to travel from the surface to the center of Earth, how would the temperature change?

It would get much hotter.

15

What is the mantle made of?

Heated rock

15

What are the layers of Earth in order (starting from the outside & going inside)?

Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core

15

Which of these is the THINNEST layer of the Earth?

crust

15

Which layer is the THICKEST layer of the Earth?

mantle

15

The lithospheric plates "float" on top of the...

asthenosphere

15

Which layer is the least dense and seems to "float" on the asthenosphere of the mantle.

crust

15

Which layer of the Earth is liquid (made of molten metal)?

outer core

15

What are the two types of crust?

oceanic and continental

15

In which layer to convection currents occur?

mantle

15

What is the result of convection currents?

movement of the tectonic/lithospheric plates

15

How can you tell that the crust has the lowest density?

It is the top layer and floats on the mantle. Denser things sink.

15

How can you tell that the inner core has the highest density?

It is a hard ball of solid metal, so it would be very dense. It's also the lowest layer.

15

What kind of heat transfer is taking place in the Earth's mantle?

convection
