So we made a model of the earth’s layers out of playdough. We talked about each layer as we made it. Then we repeated the layers again after we cut it open. As a visual learner myself this unit really helped me retain the information and it was such a pretty earth! Playdough Eart...
Worksheet PrintWorksheet 1. How do we know that seismic waves have reached a new layer in the Earth's interior? They change speed as they reach different layers. They get bounced back when they reach the mantle. They travel all the way to the core before bouncing back. ...
The Crust Think of the crust of the earth like you would a peel of a fruit. This area is thin compared to the rest of the item. It is the weakest layer that is usually meant to prevent major damage to the other layers by breaking the fall. The crust of the earth is about 5 mile...

Some moons are fragments of rock caught by a planet’s gravity, but our moon is most likely the consequence of a billion-year-old collision. A big chunk of rock slammed into Earth when it was young, displacing a section of its interior, and our moon was created when the resultant bits...

Earth’s Interior I. Earth’s Interior A. Three major layers of the Earth 1.Crust – outermost & thinnest layer Cool and solid rock Divided into continental and oceanic crust 2.Mantle – middle layer Hot and liquid rock, 80% of Earth’s volume 3.Core – center layer of earth Divided ...
72 million years ago. In places the formation is 350 meters thick. Outcrops can be found in Montana as well as the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. As the Western Interior Seaway retreated to the southwest, the Bearpaw shales were covered by deltaic and coastal plains sediments...
