The Four Layers The Earth is composed of four different layers. The crust is the layer that you live on, and it is the most widely studied and understood. The mantle is much hotter and has the ability to flow. The outer core and inner core are very hot and have a great amount of p...
The Four Layers Earth has 4 different layers. Crust is the layer that you live on. Mantle is much hotter and has the ability to flow. Outer core and inner core are even hotter with a HUGE amount of pressure. The Earth's Crust is like the skin of an apple. Very thin The Earth's ...
If all of the students have the material, proceed. Say: Planet Earth is made of three layers. Right in the center of the Earth, there is the core. Make a drawing of the Earth on the board, and draw each layer as you talk about them. Say: The core is divided into two parts: the...

Mantle The mantle is the largest layer of the Earth. It is made of hot, dense rock. The rock in the mantle flows like asphalt because of the temperature differences found in the mantle. Mantle The movement of the mantle create the movement of the Earth’s plates. ...

stratosphere. Smog is formed when pollutants mix with oxygen in the presence of sunlight. Water vapor makes up 0-4% of the air in the atmosphere. Water is the only substance that exists as a solid, liquid, and gas in Earth’s atmosphere. This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under ...
Layers of the Earth Learning Objectives I can describe the structure of the Earth’s interior. I can relate the structure of the Earth’s interior to plate tectonics. I can explain the convection currents that power plate movement. Essential Question: How are layers of the Earth different from...
The Mantle The mantle is a layer of solid rock. Many scientists think that it also contains partly melted rock. The mantle is about 1,800 miles thick. It is very hot and under great pressure. The Crust The earth’s crust is made up of sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks. The ...
1. Lithosphere - A The Outermost rigid layer of the earth Made up of solid crust and upper mantle It is in pieces called tectonic plates 2. Asthenosphere (B) Layer of weak or soft mantle Made up of slow moving solid rock The tectonic plates in the lithosphere float on top of this laye...
