Unit 3 Planet Earth

The layer between Earth’s crust and the outer core

• Mantle

• Crust

• Inner Core

• Outer Core

The outermost layer of the Earth.  It is like the skin of an apple, very thin at about 3-5 miles (8 kilometers)

• Crust
• Mantle
• inner Core
• Outer Core

The upper layer of the earth's mantle, below the lithosphere, in which there is relatively low resistance to plastic flow and convection is thought to occur

• Asthenosphere
• Lithosphere
• Crust
• Mantle

The rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle

• Lithosphere
• Asthenosphere
• Mantle
• Crust

The dense central region of a planet, especially the nickel–iron inner part of the Earth

• Core
• Crust
• Lithosphere
• Asthenosphere

Each of the several rigid pieces of the Earth's lithosphere that together make up the Earth's surface

• Plates
• Asthenosphere
• Inner Core
• Outer Core

A theory explaining the structure of the Earth's crust and many associated phenomena as resulting from the interaction of rigid lithospheric plates that move slowly over the underlying mantle

• Plate Tectonics
• Sea Floor Spreading
• Continental Drift
• All of These

The locations where two tectonic plates interact. There are three types; divergent, convergent, and transform

• Boundaries

• Plates

• Lithosphere

• All of These

A convergent boundary is where two (or more) tectonic plates of the lithosphere move toward one another and collide

• Convergent Boundary

• Divergent Boundary

• Transform Boundary

• All of These

When two tectonic plates move away from each other

• Divergent Boundary

• Convergent Boundary

• Transform Boundary

• All of These
