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 ...

Peeling the Layers What is inside Earth? Unit 4 Lesson 1 Earth’s Layers Peeling the Layers What is inside Earth? Earth is made of several layers. Each layer has its own characteristic properties. Scientists think about Earth’s layers in two ways—in terms of chemical composition and in te...
The Mantle largest layer of the Earth composed of very hot dense rock that is capable of flow like asphalt under a heavy weight The movement of the middle mantle (asthenosphere) is the reason that the tectonics plates of the Earth move. http://www.classroomatsea.net/general_science/images/...
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. ...

GREENHOUSE EFFECT Radiation from the sun is reflected by earth and then bounced in to the atmosphere where the water particles in the air trap the heat. The water particles remain in the troposphere causing the lowest layer of atmosphere to be warmer. ...
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 ...
