Front

In which states of matter can convection occur?

Back

Liquids and gases only.

Front

What layers make up the mantle?

Back

Mesosphere, asthenosphere, part of lithosphere.

Front

Which layer of the Earth is plastic and allows movement?

Back

Asthenosphere.

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is the mass of an object divided by its volume.

Front

How does temperature affect convection currents?

Back

Warmer fluids rise while cooler fluids sink, creating convection currents.

Front

What is the role of the outer core in Earth's structure?

Back

The outer core is responsible for generating Earth's magnetic field.

Front

What is the lithosphere?

Back

The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle.

Front

What is the asthenosphere?

Back

The asthenosphere is a semi-fluid layer beneath the lithosphere that allows tectonic plates to move.
