Earth's Layers
Use this lesson to study for today's quiz (10 questions, all multiple choice)
2
Chemical (compositional) vs physical (mechanical)
Methods of examining the layers of the Earth
3
Chemical (compositional)
This is how to look at the Layers based on what each layer is actually made out of. Crust is light, less dense rock. Mantle is mostly silicate rocks, rich in magnesium and iron. The core is iron and nickel.
4
Multiple Choice
Which layer is the densest/heaviest?
core
mantle
crust
5
Multiple Choice
Which chemical layer is made of molten silicate rocks rich in magnesium and iron?
mantle
core
crust
6
Physical (mechanical) Layers
This is HOW the layers work. Lithosphere is the hard, rocky outer layer. Asthenosphere is the upper mantle that is slow moving due to convection. The Mesosphere is the hot middle part of earth that has massive convection currents. Outer Core is semi-liquid iron & nickel. Inner core is solid nickel & iron.
7
Multiple Choice
The outer core is responsible for the...
magnetosphere
solar wind
volcanoes and earthquakes

Multiple Choice
"litho" means
rock
weak
dense

11
Multiple Choice
which layer is the lightest (least dense)?

core
mesosphere
12
Multiple Choice
which layer is under the most pressure?

outer core
mesosphere
crust
13
14
Multiple Choice
where does the heat in the mantle come from?
the earths core
