True or False The Earth is made up of 3 layers. Answer: False 4 Layers The Crust is the thickest layer. The Inner Core is solid. Answer: False Mantle Answer: True The Mantle has liquid rock. Answer: True (so does the Outer Core) Is Earth’s surface constantly changing. Yes Is Earth...
The Core, Mantle and Crust constitute the three main layers of earth (Fig. 5.1). Compositionally (chemically), the outer thin crust is mostly silicate (SiO2-based) and mantle, the layer below is accompanied by metal oxides (such as MgO, FeO, Al2O3, CaO, and Na2O) in mineral ...
so they arrive first at the seismometer. P-waves move in a compression/expansion type motion, squeezing and unsqueezing earth materials as they travel. P-waves bend slightly when they travel from one layer into another. Seismic waves move faster through denser or ...
are highly variable in thickness. The boundaries between layers are rough and irregular. Some layers penetrate other layers at certain places. Variations in the thickness of the earth’s layers, irregularities in layer boundaries, and interpenetrations of layers, reflect the ...
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 miles thick un...
Scientists use seismic waves to study the Earth's interior. Which part of the Earth is the outermost layer? A. Mantle B. Core C. Crust D. Atmosphere 相关知识点: 试题来源: 解析 C。解析:地球的最外层是地壳,它是地球固体圈层的最外层。地幔是地壳下面的一层,地核则在更深处,而大气圈不属于...
Earth’s Interior Structure Layers of the Earth Crust Mantle Outer Core Inner Core Layers of the Earth Crust: The outermost layer of the Earth is the crust. This comprises the continents and ocean basins. The crust has a variable thickness, being 35-70 km thick in the continents and 5-10...

Make sure the physical properties of EACH layer are accurate. For the outer core, it may not be possible given that it is a liquid. However, you can vary the properties of the other layers. As you create the various layers, remember what you have learned about each layer. For each laye...
